If you're still embarrassed or worried about the quality of no-frills
store brand products or generics instead of those with brand names,
face it: You're in the minority now.

In fact, 55% of grocery shoppers say they frequently purchase store
brands, and more than 77% say the store brands they buy �are as good
as, if not better than, national brand products,� according to a survey
commissioned by the Private Label Manufacturers Association, an
organization that represents makers of store brand food, beverages,
health and beauty aids and over-the-counter drugs. And in this economy,
it�s no surprise.

I've always thought I'd feel embarassed if I was one of those people who
ONLY bought name-brand items.
