I do have brand loyalty!

A couple months ago, I wrote about brand loyalty, and how I pretty much had none.   It just occurred to me, as I was getting dressed for my aqua zumba class, that I do have some brand loyalty. 

Its 60 degrees outside today, and soaking wet from a day of rain - and the rain isn't supposed to stop for a while.    So I decided that I was gonna put on sweats over my bathing suit, and I pulled out the top pair of sweatpants, which were red, and then I took out a gray sweatshirt as that would best go with the red sweatpants.   I was deciding what to wear on my feet, when I decided flip-flops would be best since Im heading to the pool.   You know what everything that I picked out had in common?

They all had the Phillies logo or name (or both) scrolled across them :)   Of course everything is a completely different brand - but I am 100% loyal to my Phillies!

Let's Go Phillies, Let's Go!

Brand Loyalty

I started thinking about brand loyalty the other day as I was getting dressed to go for a walk.    I pulled out addidas shorts - which are gray with black strips down the sides.   So then I pulled out my black "dri-fit" shirt which was Under Armour brand.   I started analyzing my current exercise wardrobe some more and here is what I was wearing:
- Nike Hat
- Champion Sports Bra
- Under Armour Shirt
- Jockey Underwear
- Adidas Shorts
- Wigwam Socks
- Brooks Sneakers

7 Different Items and 7 Different Brands.   Mind you I do have a handful of items of each of the brands within my closet and drawers - but I fully admit that when it comes to 85% of things I buy, I have no brand loyalty.   My loyalty is to the best deal around - and a little bit to certain stores.  

I personally have no issues with store brands - and for those who don't know - with food, many times the store brand is the SAME EXACT thing, just in different packaging.  The few things that I stick to a brand are typically when it comes to hygiene - and that's just really because of my sensitive skin.   I have had great success with:
- Dove - so i use their soap and deoderant
- Aveeno - so I use their facewash, face lotion and body lotion
- Oddly enough, I have actually had a reaction to toothpaste - so I use Toms of Maine because its all natural.
- When I was younger my mom had to use certain laundry detergent and dryer sheets because of my skin - so I stick with those too - All Free and Clear Laundry Detergent and Bounce Free  

Other than those, I can't think of a situation where Im picky about brands as much as price.  And in all honesty - Im considering testing whether I can use different (cheaper and easier to find) detergents.   Im just nervous because I've tested moving off the face lotion and the toothpaste, with bad luck...

Im pretty sure studies would say that overall, brand loyalty is out the door - but what about those I know.   Do any of you have brand loyalty?   If so - just to a few things like me - or to a larger amount of things?
