					<title>IBM Survey: Three in Four Americans Choose Quality over Lowest Price in Food Aisles</title>
					<link><![CDATA[http://www.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/28481.wss]]></link>
					<description><![CDATA[

The current economy has, however, led U.S. shoppers to take a closer look at the brands they typically purchase, the stores they frequent and even their preferred packaging to find new ways to save money. Americans surveyed confirmed this new in-store spending strategy will stick beyond the recession.
