I have never been a brand or trademark person, mostly because my budget requires me to be economical above pretty any other consideration. There are a few things that I only buy one brand of, but that is after trying less expensive brands and being dissatisfied (really, it's the kids who are dissatisfied. Sometimes they won't eat/use the "store" brand of something despite the fact that there is no difference)
I do tend to shop in the same places for ease because I know where everything is. My CVS and my Save-a-Lot market have recently moved some things around and I am SO lost! I don't know where anything is now and it takes me so much longer to shop because I have really pay attention to what ailse I'm in.
However, with regard to Yankee Candles - no, other candles are not the same as Yankee Candles. There are other candles that smell nice, of course, but I have never found candles that are as good as Yankee Candles.
