18. Brand loyalty varies depending on what products I buy

Apr 4

I buy most of my food from a Navy Commissary and they have their "Freedom" on can years.llned vegetables, cereals, popcorn, etc.. I'll buy that brand because I know most of those brands are made buy better known brand names but with just another label on it. I learned in the early 70s house brands were made by the top three manufactures/producers in that sector. Canned vegetables with the Freedom brand taste just as good as the Green Giant brand.

For clothes, I buy for quality at a decent price.

I just bought a 20226 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid after owning a 2007 CR-V for 19 years. I've owned, mostly used, Chevys, Fords, Mercedes, Volvos, and I'm sold on Hondas.

There are some things the bargain brands excel at, and some things they just don't get. Arthur_Frain Apr 4 #19
