Brand loyalty

66Mustang

Are you loyal to any brands? Do you buy the same brand every time or do you switch between, or perhaps buy what’s the best price at the time?

This can be for any kind of product from food to cleaning products to technology to cars.

Is there any product that you buy a certain brand and would never consider an alternative product, regardless of the price difference?

Personally, I am not brand loyal. In the supermarket I tend to buy whatever is on offer that week as I find it is a good way to try out different products at a percentage of the RRP.

My computers and technology is all Apple but I am not an Apple “devotee”, I am perfectly open to having a different brand in the future. Indeed this may be necessary when my current stuff wears out, as all my Apple products were gifts, I don’t think I could afford to buy them myself!!

All of my cars have been Minis but I think that has been accidental, I couldn’t find anything I preferred

Good thread

I dont stick to any brands relating to food just go for what looks nice and the best price

My son will only wear Nike trainers probably a teen thing

But I do think aunt Bessie products are brill

I don't really have any particular brand loyalty I don't think, especially for food. I buy pretty much all own brand food where I can, or brands that are on sale. Whatever is cheapest really

I do buy branded coffee, but don't have a specific brand I'll always get.

Interesting answers

thanks for the posts

I just remembered I always buy Oral B toothpaste but I think that’s because the price is always quite good

Tori_Scope

I'm the same with Colgate @66Mustang, there are so many options there's always one on special offer!

66Mustang

That’s true!!

I don’t know about Colgate but Oral B do different toothpastes like one for whitening, one to protect against sugar, one for a “deep clean”, why can’t they just put them all into one super toothpaste

maybe that’s a question for the “why” thread...

Tori_Scope

So true @66Mustang, Colgate is the same. They do Colgate Total, which you'd think included them all, but now there are different types of Colgate Total too so who knows.

I get way too many Google things for my own good, so I'd have to say them.

Heinz Beans ❤ I'm actually really picky with brands and loyal to a fair few... Samsung Galaxy devices, Van's shoes, I would be here all day if I reeled off everything

Have you ever tried Aldi beans? They are actually delicious

Ami2301

Nope @66Mustang I'm too loyal to Heinz to try another brand

Ross_Alumni

Yep, that's the only bean brand for me too

I suppose I am in a lot of ways, like I don't like anyone else's Tomato Soup but Heinz's, and I prefer Tesco's own frozen Pizzas. Biggest would be my allegiance to Microsoft and the Xbox brand, I hate Sony, not so much the company but their fanboys have frequently proven to be thicker than the content of a Dog's bum.

66Mustang

I had heard that too @woodbine but I’m guessing they do perhaps use lower quality ingredients for making the cheaper products?

I basically buy exactly the same products each week...

Not specifically brand loyal, just when I actually find something that I can eat and don't hate, I'll stick with it! There are plenty of own-brand items that I prefer over big brands. Not all of them though, made the mistake of buying Sainsburys own choc chip cookies this week. "How bad can a cookie be?" I thought. How wrong I was!

The Tesco own ones are fine though, when Galaxy or Fox's aren't on offer.

I'm not brand loyal with cars either, I've owned at least 6 different brands of car in 10 years. Have had both Xbox and Playstation. Own various different branded electrical items.

Funny you mention Oral B toothpaste though, I do always stick with that now! Either the Gum & Enamel one or the Deep Clean one depending on which is on offer at the time - would never pay full price for it! Though the recent flavour change in the Deep Clean is quastionable... 'Anis Mint'...had to double take when I read that!

That made me chuckle @OverlyAnxious ?
