[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always buy generic for myself, but I always buy name brands for food banks and contributions. The reason is that I had a friend in college who had grown up poor enough to use a food bank regularly and he said that this was something kids always noticed about food bank food--they weren't "good enough" to deserve the brand names. On an entire Thanksgiving meal for a family of 8 this might add $20 to the price. That's fine with me. [/quote] Or maybe it was they didn't actually realize that people with more money weren't always buying the brand name and generic was good enough for them a lot of the time. If they never were middle class , then how would they know this? Maybe it's better that we don't pretend that middle class and upper middle class people use generic products and forgo brand names because neither of those things matter. Brand name cream cheese doesn't make you rich. [/quote]
