I know other brands are cheaper, but I MUST HAVE _________!

[MissBritt]

What are items/products that you are loyal to even if they aren't the cheapest or on sale? I love to see people's answers to this.

Some of ours include Prego pasta sauce, Charmin or Cottonelle toilet paper, Colgate toothpaste, Pedigree dog food and Playtex tampons. Yours?

 

[RachaelA]

Bounty paper towels, Ziploc bags, Charmin toilet paper, Tampax tampons, Advil.

 

[Virgderon]

Purex or Arm and Hammer laundry detergent. I'm allergic to pretty much everything else.

 

[alyssa1027]

All Free and Clear, Scott toilet paper, Skippy Peanutbutter, Tampax, Wesson Oil, & Quaker Oatmeal

 

[NewWorld Traveler]

Snapple diet peach ice tea water bottle drop-ins...

Disney! No other vacation will do

 

[luvmarypoppins]

Tide free and clear detergent (needed for ds allergies and asthma), colgate toothpaste, scott regular toilet paper, Lever 2000 soap, clausen pickles,bounty paper towels, head and shoulders shampoo for dh, ban deod. and some of the ds like certain deod. brands too like old spice, etc.

There are probably more. My family is pretty picky about certain things, not about others, it probably balances out in the end. I buy alot of store brand stuff and regular brands if I have coupons etc.

Annies mac & cheese...everything else is negotiable, but my kids will revolt if I don't buy them their Annies

 

[Vijoge]

Hellman's Mayo, Heinz catsup, Eight O'clock coffee, Orijen dog food, and Ticonderoga pencils.

 

[ceecee]

Disney! No other vacation will do

Yes!
I don't skimp on dog food (Wellness Core) although DH threatens to put them on a grocery store brand. Also Northern TP and Tide.

 

[Green Tea]

Ziploc brand storage bags

Ghiradelli brownie mix

Kraft American Cheese ( DH requires)

 

[MissBritt]

Oh yes, Heinz and Ziplock for us, too.

 

[Green Tea]

DH will only allow Duke's mayo.

Kikkoman Lite soy sauce

 

[Aimeedyan]

Honestly, my "brand loyalty" mostly lies in clothing and beauty choices

Only two household products I can think of is Playtex and Colgate. Costco brand for just about anything else works just as great (esp their free and gentle detergent - we, too, have allergies).

And we don't skimp on dog food, either - no grocery store brands allowed. Course, that pays for itself in vet bill savings

ETA: Forgot, DH has to use Tom's allergen free deoderant, which we had to buy a case of online since it's not in stores anymore. He reacted to everything else.

Charlie's Soap for our laundry!

 

[Eliza32]

Slightly different take on things here, but there are some things we always buy to bring home to the UK:
John Freida Frizz Ease hairspray (I can buy it in the UK, but the cans are half the size and twice the price!)
Bath and Body Works liquid anti-bac soap (usually buy at least 6)
Lady Speedstick Deodorant (not sure what you guys think of it, but it's better than anything I can get at home - usually buy 3 or 4)
Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips - better than anything available here too.
I need a whole case just for the groceries to bring home. Have had some very funny looks from customs over the years!!!

any paper products- Bounty napkins and paper towels, Charmin or Cottenelle toilet paper and Puffs Plus tissues. I refuse to go to any other brands no matter the cost!!
