Well, I just tried the cheap brand of cook and serve chocolate pudding, and I've decided that I will have to continue to buy the Jell-o brand, the cheap just doesn't cut it!! Now, I have decided that for the most part, Kroger, which is what Dillons sells (and what I get a discount on) is actually pretty dang good. I've been buying it a heckuva lot more lately.

Tide, Bounty (did you see the experiment between Bounty and generic on GMA yesterday?), Jif p'nut butter, brand-name cereals, and that's all I can think of right now...

Charmin (softest possible variety; very important to me); Cheer fragrance free; ***Stonyfield Farm yogurt*** (guaranteed no aspartame!); Sensodyne toothpaste; Neutrogena shampoo; Health Choice frozen dinners (keep throwing away Lean Cusisine coupons because I don't like the taste);probably more I can't think of right now! (Actually, I am not influenced by sales terribly...I find if I use a lot of coupons, I end up with stuff I don't like!)

Diet Coke, Oreos, Bounty paper towels. I used to buy only Kraft Macaroni n' Cheese, but it's not as good as it used to be. Now, I like Velveeta Shells n' Cheese better.

I'll spend money on good shampoo like Neutrogena and I don't like "generic" soda or "generic" toilet paper ... I buy Pepsi and Charmin.

I won't buy generic toilet paper, tissues, or paper towels. Only Cottonelle, Scotties, and Brawny select-a-size for me! And I only use Downey Free & Clear fabric softner. Generally I'll try the generic version of any product at least once. If I like it then I'll continue to buy it - why pay more for a name brand if the generic works or tastes just as good to me? If it sucks I go back to my "regular" name brand product and don't think twice about spending more money.

**skippy extra crunchy peanut butter for the 2x a year i eat pb. **cheer laundry detergent. IF YOU USE TIDE, RINSE YOUR UNDIE LOADS AN EXTRA TIME OR TWO. WHEN I WORKED IN OB/GYN WE HAD A LOT OF WOMEN PRESENT WITH 'INFECTION-TYPE' SYMPTOMS AND ALL OF THOSE WOMEN USED TIDE. ONCE THEY CHANGED SOAPS, AT LEAST FOR THEIR UNDIES OR DID EXTRA RINSES THEY WERE OKAY. **chicken of the sea white albacore, not cheap tuna **litter purrfect from costco for the cats **nathan's hot dogs for the 2x/yr i eat hot dogs **jack daniels in a manhattan **orange juice NOT from concentrate **real vermont maple syrup for the 2x/yr i eat pancakes or waffles **dawn dishwashing soap **cascade dishwasher soap

Pretty much everything I buy is BECAUSE of the name brand and BECAUSE I know I like it. Ask me about any product, I will tell you exactly what brand and type of thing I buy. I am very particular about everything, pretty much to a FAULT. I am hard to live with and shop for.

Pretty much everything on my grocery list. The only things I buy that are NOT name brand are veggies, fruits, and some cheese. I don't buy much in the way of processed foods, but what I do buy is also definitely a brand (like Total cereal).

Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise, Cottonelle Tissue. I do buy a lot of generic brands but if I don't like it, I'll go back to a favorite name brand. Saw a morning news show years ago about this but all I can remember is they said "Bleach is Bleach is Bleach and Vinegar is Vinegar is Vinegar". I don't totally agree.

Tide Philadelphia Cream Cheese Best Foods Mayonnaise (the west coast version of Hellman's) Orowheat Whole Wheat or Health Nut English Muffins Crest toothpaste (not gel) Shampoo that isn't sold at the grocery store Ricola cough drops (the original ones) and a whole host of other stuff. Some things I'll use generic (okay, usually Costco) brands, but in some things, I've tried them and they really weren't as good - especially cream cheese -- it's a texture thing.

I'm a name brand snob. Veggies and fruits, I buy what is on sale...or by country. I do buy the store brand baked goods because they are fresh.
