brand name vs. store brand.

Hello fellow shoppers,

Have you ever found yourself standing in an isle at a local store staring at two bottles? One bottle is usually more colorful than the other which is usually white or lacking design. The nicer looking bottle is going to cost at least $1.00 more. The price difference depends on the price of the nicer looking item. For example some name band creams for burns can be $10, but the store band is $5.00. So many people thing the name brand must work better because it cost more. WRONG. The cheaper one has the same ingredients in it as the nicer one. Don't believe me read the label. When you buy the nicer looking one that is where your money is going into the design of the labels, and to cover the cost for the famous person that is paid to talk about the product. When it comes to foods, medicines, garbage bags, diapers etc its worth getting the store brand. The only diaper that didn't give my daughter a rash was target brand. They worked great I wish i discovered them back when my son was first born. The only products I don't buy store brand are laundry detergent, dish soap and toothpaste. I find the soaps are watered down. We it comes to shampoos and face washes its a hit or miss. I think it depends on your hair and skin type. sometimes its worth getting the name brand other times the store brand works just as well. When in doubt if it will work the same compare the labels.
