I buy store brand of many things because we have a pretty great store brand. Toothpaste is one thing I won't buy store brand of. I buy crest 3D white.

There are very few things that I don't buy generic for. Cliff Z bars and Nature Valley oatmeal squares come to mind for J. I've never seen generic toothpaste.

It totally depends on the item - sometimes the brand name has something that's SO much better that it's worth the $. Oatmeal comes to mind as an example. I have always bought whatever's cheapest, but Quaker started having this different lid where you can pour out of it better, and it's a game changer.

It also very much depends on the store - Trader Joe's store brand is amazing.

i'm fine with the store brand of most things, but sometimes i don't end up liking the product and will then avoid it in the future. that generally happens only with food items at the supermarket.

one name brand i must buy is martin's potato rolls for hot dogs and hamburgers.

Generic all the way, except bleach and paper towels.

[cornflakegirl]

It really just depends on what I think tastes better. Some of the things that come to mind are Land o Lakes American cheese, Annie's organic Mac n cheese, my coffee creamer and ice cream.

Some things that I don't buy would be ketchup and mayo. I'll try store brand of items and usually can't tell. 2 things I like better store brand are the Kirkland brand of baby wipes and store brand red pepper hummus. Whenever I buy Sabre, it tastes too sweet or something

[notmoose]

Both.

Brand name:
Toilet paper (cottanelle)
Cheerios (I dont like the taste of the generic cheerios)
Tampons
Diapers (only pampers)
Laundry detergent (tide or gain)

Generic:
Wipes
Other cereals
Soaps/shampoo/conditioner
Chips

I’m mostly a store brand lady and in some instances I think store brand tastes better.

[doublestuf]

Kirkland brand baby wipes are seriously the best ever klw. Very big and not too wet. And you get 900 at once.

[ohreally]

klw, I forgot about ketchup. Don't want any of that watered down stuff. Heinz all the way.
