Name Brands

This is probably the wrong crowd to ask but ....Do you always look for name
brands like clothes,furniture etc. or do look at price?
I always try not to buy name brand like Polo with the horsie or Tommy Pullmyfinger.
I will but Tommy Bahama because it has no outward logo's.
My wife is a 180 from me with Coach purse and matching wallet,LV purse and
Polo Jackets.
Other than watches I really dont care too much either way....what about you guys.

Actually I am careful to only buy non fat, organic plain yogurt. I eat it every day for breakfast.

Food, I read the label. I'm celiac and need to know what's in it.
Clothes, no. I'm business casual and I'd rather get a good price than worry about a logo or a label.
Shoes/boots, yes always a recognized brand but nothing fancy or expensive. I'm just going to scuff them up and wear them out anyway.
My son (12) is very image conscious now in regards to clothes but that's because he's in middle school and that stuff matters to kids.

IMO, from a quality control point of view, branded products are generally better.

It's not the label for me. It's the fit and the feel of the material.
