I always buy the supermarket brand, even though I can easily afford more. It's not because I want to save a few pennies on each purchase; it's helping to drive prices down on all overpriced goods, helping out those really in need.
Same reason I avoid organic whenever possible. We don't need boutique food.
- cammikebrown 6y agoI agree much of the “benefits” of organic food are not really true or meaningful, but I do try and buy local when I can.
- jessaustin 6y agoThat doesn't even make sense in neoclassical economics. One person's effects on the market are necessarily tiny, but if buying more of Brand X has any effect it will be to drive up the price of Brand X. You're actually harming "those really in need", and you should feel bad about it.
