Can Store Brands Help You Recover From the Recession?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

Did you know that 8 out of 10 supermarket shoppers state that they have seen no signs of recovery as they do their weekly grocery shopping? In addition, 40% say that things have actually gotten worse even though we are told it is getting better! So what are we as consumers to do? Boycott, shopping for the things we need? NO! We just need to be more savvy in how we spend our hard earned money! I am a firm believer that store brands can help us save money while still purchasing the items that our families enjoy!

During these tough times, the shoppers who buy store brands is at an all time high of 57% and 62% of consumers say they plan on buying more store brands in the future! I will admit that I used to fall into the category of shoppers (43%) who only purchased name brand items for my family! Now I am among the 97% of shoppers who are happy that they have switched to store brands!! I could not be happier and so is my wallet!!  A whopping 49% of consumers say that the store brands are compare favorably to the national brands which is up from 35% in June of 2009!

So where do you fall in the Recession, Recovery & Store Brands debate? I think Store Brands are perfect for these hard times and I will not go back to my old brands! Parent's Choice is just one store brand that can help you get more bang for your buck!  If you have not tried a store brand in a while, give it a try!  Your bottom line will appreciate it and so will your family!
