RE: Market Friday : Name Brand or Generic Groceries ?

in Market Fridaylast year

Regarding name brand or generic groceries, I would go on generic products as long it is FDA approved. Why would I still buy name brands if the generic product's quality is just the same? For instance, in terms of smartphones, some units offer almost the same specs, but the one that is more expensive is branded. I suddenly thought it was because of my cousin's experiences since he mentioned that he paid more for the brand than the specs. Some people believe that name brands are always better, while others find that generic brands can serve their purpose just as well. But overall, the choice comes down to an individual's preferences, budget considerations, and more!

@iamboring That's interesting when it comes to smartphone. I am not one to consider specs as I am more interested in durability and ruggedness but I know a lot of people who purchase smartphone and is reliant on internal specs. Sometimes, name brand has lesser specs and they mark up at a higher price. And I think it's wise to also buy the generic ones. Thanks for sharing your perspective on it.

Yeah, just like Oppo, Apple, and Samsung compared to Xiaomi, Realme, and Techno. Those brands I mentioned first mark up the higher prices, but those generic brands I've mentioned also offer the same but better specs and more affordable prices.
