It really depends on the items and
what I can afford & how much I am willing to pay..

Umpamanya..coffee ..gua pilih yg brand names (starbuck ato coffee bean ato whatever)..krn emg rasanya lebih enak dr pd yg generic/murahan...If I have to take the disadvantages of ..extra calories and possible unhealthy/side effects of caffeine...it better tastes good...

Kalo utk drinking water...I don't mind the generic water made by a reputable company like Costco..however,..kalo lagi travel di foreign countries ..I play safe and get water yg gak terlalu murah such as Evian ato local well-known companies.

Some others of the more costly items...the brand names do have reasons why they cost so much...not just because of the names but they do have better quality, more comfortable, last longer, etc, etc.....(not always though )....

Seperti shoes ...I choose...yg comfortable & nice....unfortunately..they do cost more
