[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had this happen to me before. In my opinion (from what I see with my family), this is why a lot of poor are poor these days. So many people will not use generic and think you should be "treating yourself". I sort of get it, being poor is hard. Their lives aren't great, so they figure they might as well enjoy whatever they can (the brand name food), spend money while they have it because it might not be there tomorrow. [/quote]

This explains all the McDonald happy meals that are handed out by poor parents to their kids at school. They feel they are treating their kids. [/quote]

I'm a total discount grocery shopper. At my discount grocery, the generic cream cheese (and the yogurt) have added starch/stablizers, so I do get the brand name. I wouldn't automatically judge someone for buying the higher priced product just like I wouldn't judge someone for buying the cheaper version, we are all making choices for our own reasons.[/quote]
