In light of the economic downturn, have you been more or less likely to try new products?

The economy has many of us thinking about our product purchase decisions.  Are we buying the right products at the best price?  We were curious to hear if you are re-evaluating your purchase decisions in light of the economic downturn?

Please tell us!  We want to know what you think.

Less likely - I'm sticking to tried-and-true favorites, this is not a time to experiment (12.5%)

Equally likely - The economy hasn't changed my love of trying new things (44.0%)

More likely - I like trying new, less expensive alternatives to cut back (43.5%)

In light of the economic downturn, have you been more or less likely to try new products?

    Im having to be real careful lately. so i'm not trying new stuff. just using what i know works for my family. can't afford to experiment right now. but that doesn;t mean that i go to the cheaper product.

    I love to shop, love to try new things, and love to experiment. If anything, the challenges of our struggling economy has broadened my horizons. I try to find new uses for things (for example, new recipes using peanut butter, which was on sale last week), try new things because they're bargains, etc.
