Depends. Some do taste better than own brands. Others dont.

Depends on the item, somethings I like specific brands eg. Heinz baked beans but I'll go cheap on tinned chopped tomatoes.

I can't afford to be as fussy as I'd like when it comes to clothes and shoes but that's work in progress

Depends what it is. Over the past year I've been trying to buy less stuff, but when I do buy things I buy higher quality than I would have done before. Often branded stuff is higher quality so I buy that.

With clothes I find the more highbrow the store the more I'm attracted to the sale or clearance rails got a nice Gap jacket & Jeff Banks shirt yesterday for £50

I agree that sometimes buying quality pays, was feeling rather happy once and paid £125 for one pair of black trousers for work from a gentlemen's outfitters. They still look like new now, some fifteen years later & are beautifully made.

"Do you shop for branded goods....?

Nope, over the years I've found that there's not that much difference in quality between expensive branded goods and the cheaper products...in fact, I still have a pair of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, still look good too 10 years after buying them for a fiver from a supermarket!

I do *lots* of activities that are hard on my clothes. My walking boots cost £140, but are now 12 years old and used regularly. I have long leather yard boots that cost £120 three years ago and still look brand new - again used regularly. My sports clothes ans trainers are branded but last for ages - and I excercise most days.

Having said that, I mostly shop out of season and in the sales... so...

It really does depend on what it is and what it is for.

Somethings absolutely no way would I buy shops own products! It needs to be a branded product, be that food, clothing both for sport recreation or work, gadgets of all types , tyres, tools etc

It really does depend on the item in reality.

I have trainers that are smart for wearing out to places that require half decent footwear, and trainers that I wear for exercise.

Lol, OK something that didn't come from George then (that's what I get for working in everyday & last a few months usually), but I never pay more than £70-80 for them & they usually last 2-3 years.My current red ones were only £40 in a Nike shop sale

Is that better

We go to Cheshire Oaks for discounted label items, sometmes they're cheaper than high street stuff. We keep to a reasonable budget.

Seriously depends on the product. But I seem to have the knack of something catching my eye and lo, it is the most bloody expensive damn thing in the shop!!

I do find certain clothing brands last longer and are harder wearing though. So sometimes it pays to save and spend a bit more.

The designer names in outlet villages often have a different range for their outlet stores. It's often substandard and nowhere near as good as their regular lines. Worth keeping in mind.

This pretty much sums me up too.. Not the yard boots obviously, but the general sentiment.

We know that.

Armani jeans are good there, some north face stuff too and the odd jewellery pieces at Michael Kors, however, their range of bags are awful there which is why we buy elsewhere. There's still bargains to be had there though besides the labels mentioned.

Not deliberately, other than a few brands of food I don't think can be bettered. And the bloody cats refuse to eat anything but Whiskas.

I know what I like when I see it and I don't care if it's branded or not but unfortunately my eye's often caught by expensive stuff - like I saw some lovely knee high boots in a magazine the other day which typically turned out to be Jimmy Choos at £1500 and will have to wait for the lottery win ...

I used to work in fashion retail so I used to get branded clothes discounted. Nowadays I go for cheaper brands, the garments might not retain their condition for as long but you can still achieve the same look with high street brands.

I only stick to high end brands when it comes to electronic goods and even then I'll shop when the sales are on

I'm in between, I have got designer items, but I do like some of the things in primark, to maxx and I'll often pop into the charity shops, I'm about style not fashion.

I do feel a little self conscious in very expensive gear, I've got nothing to prove, so I hate to look like I have

Of course!

Some of the cheap shit is cheap for a reason

Mrsdpt wouldn't be seen dead buying cheap beans in Waitrose carrying her Louis Vuitton handbag, while spending the £50 note we just found outside on the floor next to the sleeping homeless guy.

Only Heinz beans for us!
