Quality wins hands-down for me. When we were first married, I thought DH would "enjoy" shopping together.
Big newlywed mistake!!! He went shopping only once. When we were finished I told him - let's not do this again!
Why? He never did big family shopping. Sure, he was sent to the store for "this or that" -- specific items; but never with the responsibility of buying the weekly groceries.
So going down the aisles, I'd take a name-brand and he'd say - why not this one, it's cheaper. Or I'd take a generic brand and he'd question that. He was confused. He had no basis for my decision-making. I had experience with the products and their quality.
So packaging of a brand-new product that I've never tried before would (and does
) affect my trying it at least once. But if it's the same type of product I already use, the packaging itself would have a hard sell with me.
