Name Brands: Are They Worth the Extra Money?

Until now, for most consumers, buying well-known brands of groceries, health and beauty products or household items didn’t merit a second thought.  Think Kraft, L’Oreal, Pampers, Kellogg’s, Tylenol…you get the idea. When it came to brand selection, we saw, we reached, we purchased.  Not much consideration was given to generic or store brands which were dismissively referred to as “off” brands or “no-name” brands.
 
Fast-forward to 2008.  In the midst of a recession in our country, we are now faced with soaring costs of food, health and home products.  Many consumers, looking to save a few bucks wherever they can, are finally taking a second look at generics and store brands.
