Are you brand loyal things you buy at the grocery?

Are you brand loyal of everything you buy? Like during your regular grocery shopping visits, do you get the same brand of bread, coffee, juice, cereal, shampoo, etc? Also do you always go to the same store everytime to buy your groceries?

I'm wealthy enough to not shop at walmart, I always go organic.

Yeah. I'll try new stuff occasionally but for the most part I get the same bread, tortillas, soap, and some other stuff.

^ I won't buy GV Walmart products or anything they make from their deli, meat, or bakery, I haven't had a problem with named brands or other stores products.

brand loyal -NO and no one should

buy what tastes good for the price

Very brand loyal unless I'm trying something new.

For some things I am. Like how it has to be Heinz ketchup, others just don't taste as good. But for some stuff I'll get a cheaper brand.

Not really, there are some items for which I prefer a certain brand over another, but usually I don't really care.
I try to spend as little time as possible in the supermarket, so I grab the first things I see.
And I'm aware that those items are probably not the cheapest ones, but I don't really care.
I couldn't tell what a jug of milk costs or a bag of rice... I don't have a clue. 

I try to only eat fresh vegetables and fruits and biological meat (more animal friendly) as much as I can.
Other than that, I'm quite indifferent about the food I eat.

I always try to test out something new unless if it's too cheap, then I know it's junk.

Nivea always 

Brand loyalty is based on the individual product. For example, if I want ice cream I am going to get Breyers, if I want cola I am going to get Coke or Pepsi, and if I want oatmeal I am going to get Quaker. I have tasted enough store brands when I was younger and poorer to realize the better taste most name brands have make it worth the extra buck or so. No point in buying the cheaper prodict if I'm not going to finish it.ad1x2

Enough of the to not trust the organic label, however.

Ain't nobody got time for that

me like bread cheese ham ok

I'm not really loyal to things, I'll go with the cheapest usually, unless something costs just a couple cents more and the quality is amazingly higher

My chance of trying something new is when I eat food at someone else's place. Like, these bagels I found tasted so good and had a tasty crust. They weren't all puffy like the ones my mom always buys.

I'm not loyal to a particular brand, it's about prices and preferences for me.

I choose by taste not brand, but because of that I end up buying kikkoman soysauce. and kewpie mayo.

They are in that all scientific studies says there is no health benefit to eating organic. Then again the people buying the stuff are probably wearing an irenew bracelet and have a selection of quartz crystals at home for wellnes and healing.

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"][QUOTE="cheese_game619"] organic foods are a lieBeardMaster

You are aware that Beryers can no longer call their product "Ice Cream". Right? They no longer contain enough milk and cream to actually be considered ice cream, and are now labeled Frozen Dairy Dessert. In recent years, as part of cost-cutting measures, Breyers has reformulated many of its flavors with nontraditional, additive ingredients, significantly changing the taste and texture of their desserts as a direct result of these additionsMurderstyle75

I have a feeling many of the 'ice creams' in the freezer section are in the exact same boat.  Scary.

High fructose corn syrup and table sugar might as well be the same. The problem is that corn is subsidized out the ass.

[QUOTE="coolbeans90"]

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] You mean the FDA studies that also try to claim that High Frutose Corn Syrup and Pink Slime is harmless? The real problem is, the FDA allows hundred of foods to be labeled Organic even though they are not. If people would eat what they are supposed to and not this national brand slop, obesity and heart disease wouldn't be a problem in America.Murderstyle75

HFCS, at least in soft drinks, is a 55/45 split as opposed to a 50/50. Take your broscience to another thread, please.

Yeah, I'm more loyal to a particular product than brand, I like smore poptarts for example, but I hate most of the other flavors.

I like powerade's red & blue and gatorade's lime rain flavor, but generally not a fan of their other offerings.

[QUOTE="coolbeans90"]

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] There is evidence that the body treats HFCS differently than glucose. When a person's liver is deciding what to do with glucose, it has several options: use it for energy; convert the glucose into triglycerides or store the glucose as fat. A 2008 study found that fructose seems to go directly to fat. HFCS is also higher in Frutose than traditional sugar which is a 50/50 split.Murderstyle75

The problem is that people go after HFCS when it in particular is not the problem is it would merely be replaced by a similarly harmful replacement. That is what studies have indicated.

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] And I never said you should consume table sugar either since that too is processed. When consuming Frutose, it should be unrefined.mattbbpl

That is all true, but simply choosing products with "sugar" over "high fructose corn syrup" isn't going to change that, which seems to be the attitude conveyed by a lot of people.

Maximizing profit is really the point of most businesses in general.

Depends on what the item is. I'm probably 50/50

Yes,  Hanes Plain white t-shirts and underwear.  There is a specific brand of bread I buy.  I always get Starkist Tuna, Heinz Ketchup.  Also, Walmart brand canned chicken breast is really, really good for some reason (I put it on a sandwich with Miracle Whip).
