It really depends. Like pasta, rice, some cereals, and other things that are usually uniform in taste or require you to cook them a bit more/are raw, I will buy generic because it's generally cheaper.
But many things I cannot. A majority of the time I come to love the name brand so when I buy the store brand it tastes like crap or doesn't give off the same taste as the other one. Many things also don't have store brands. Things like soda I can't buy the generic of unless I'm using it in something to where it doesn't really matter (mixed drinks, root beer floats, cakes, etc). Fruit roll ups have horrible store brand forms...so do poptarts. ;+;

I totally agree about the soda! The only ones I don't notice a difference with are orange, root beer, and gingerale.
It totally depends with me. I actually like the store brand Nutella better! I'll never buy the store brand canned stews again, though, they're 30% cheaper but have 50% less meat and good veggies and more broth! I'd rather pay $.20 more and have a better meal.
I've found that a lot of veggies really don't matter, like creamed corn and peas and such. It's all trial and error for me!
