These are a few of my favorite things...

I don't know about you guys, but there are some things I'll happily buy in store brand form, and others that only brand names will do. I thought about this when I tripped across Febreze® Extreme Odor Eliminator - For Sport-Related Odors in Target today, and it reminded me of the problems you guys typically have with your body armor.

In my house, there's only a few "name brand only" items.
-Charmin Ultra Strong toilet paper
-Dawn Dish Detergent
-Gain Laundry Detergent
-Shampoo and conditioner (varies depending on season but always name brand)
-My facial cleanser
-feminine supplies

Is there anything in particular for you guys that just won't do in store brand form?

Charmin the soooooft kind...

can't take store brand coffee

kraft or borden cheeze

If they make them, I wouldnt use store brand condoms....other than that all else is atleast a try once.

The first thing that comes to mind is Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil. I have yet to find a store brand that's better.

Oh, and Heinz catsup.

I try to buy store brands for anything if they're available, unless there's a sale that makes a name brand cheaper than the store brand.

Reynold's Aluminum Foil
Reynold's Wrap
Girly products
Shampoo (though it's not "store" name brand - more like salon name brand)
Charmin
Hunt's Ketchup
Macaroni & cheese (when it's not homemade)

Deodorant

That's the only thing I don't skimp on.

**Ducky** · 02-10-11, 05:40 PM

The ones I use are from having had unpleasant or unsatisfactory experiences with store brands and haven't been able to find a name brand I like better. Going to have to give Reynold's Wrap aluminum foil and Hunt's ketchup a try.

I don't like much of anything that is store-brand. Wish I did.

**pgg** · 02-10-11, 08:05 PM

I like Kirkland products. They are also easier on my wallet.

**jcsdscott** · 02-10-11, 10:20 PM

Heinz catsup, Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce, Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, Sargento Cheese, Right Guard/Degree/Secret(for the wife), Gain Detergent and Dish liquid, Ragu Spaghetti sauce, and of course the kids' cereals.

I agree with the T.P. choices and deodorant, but just about anything else, I'll get the store brand.

**Ducky** · 02-10-11, 10:36 PM

Gaah! I totally forgot about deodorant! National brands for both hubby and I on that one. Toothpaste too. Guess I'm pickier than I thought.

**IMGreat101** · 02-10-11, 11:26 PM

I will never buy kraft or sargento...... Shullsburg all the way!

TP, cheapest while comparing square footage. Can be had for $2.99 for a 12 double roll pak here

Deodor - Degree

Soap - dial

dish soap is all the same

Laundry - must have enzymatic type for all the blood and guts I get into

(Tide)

ketchup is all the same

beef and pork - midwest ONLY

**mack** · 02-11-11, 06:50 AM

My hubby will only eat Miracle Whip and Heinz Ketchup, other than that I'll use store brands

**IMGreat101** · 02-11-11, 07:33 AM

Hellmans Mayo

I forgot about deodorant, too! Almay clear gel hypoallergenic fragrance free.

I used to only buy Hefty Cinch Sak tall kitchen trash bags, but then I discovered that Target's comparable bags are just as good and much cheaper.

Prozac.....no store brand for me there!!

Remember; The good Lord made us family, but Prozac made us friends!!

I dont do the shopping so I cant be picky with what the wifey buys.
