spend more money to buy a brand name item when someone they don't know is standing near them at the time they choose their purchase.

There must be some very insecure people there.

I am a cheapskate and proud of it.

I buy a brand name only when it is actually better then the store brand. I shop at the Dollar Store for any number of things.

I agree. Their prices on many every-day items are very hard to beat. It's just that I'm embarrased to be seen going in there...aw, just kidding.
