What store brand products do you have good luck with and really like?
What will you not buy store brand?
I only have a few items I don't buy store brand. I have to have my Heinz ketchup.
I also usually buy name brand laundry detergents (with coupons, of course).
I have had good luck buying Parent's Choice diapers from Walmart.
It's amazing how much you can save by purchasing the store brand.

There are only a few things I will not buy store brand. Like you, I have to have heinz ketchup, and i love kraft mayo.I also use Tide, and I think Windex is superior to the store brand as far as streaks and such. Oh, and Pepsi. Have to have Pepsi. I do save a lot doing store brand.

I pretty much use store brands for all grocery items. DH won't eat the store brand mac-n-cheese but all 4 kiddos like it!!! The store brand cheese slices for sandwiches aren't that great either. They are rather "squishy like". I won't get store brand coffee creamers!!!! Everyone here is pretty much used to the store brands or whatever brand is on sale. Thank goodness. Good Luck!!

I do store brand on almost everything unless with a sale or coupon the name brand ends up less or equal in price. EXCEPT for soda. I have tried and the ginger ales and flavored sodas, and fake-sprite are fine in generic, but the fake-cokes don't taste right to me. I like Coke first, in a pinch, Pepsi will do

I really like the Target brands for groceries, I think it's called market pantry? Winn Dixie brands are not as good to me, maybe I have a hang up about Winn Dixie though, b/c around here they tend to be dirty. Publix brand is great. I love the Publix brand of kitchen garbage bags. They are very heavy-duty!

Wal Mart Mac-n-cheese tends to become a mush for me so I buy Kraft. Also Pepsi one - no other soda compares .

As far as ketchup goes, we use whatever I have a coupon for and when I'm making barbecue sauce it's the cheapest I can find. I actually like Hunt's.

T-paper has to be Northern, Charmin, or Angel soft. The rest feels like sandpaper.

I'll buy anything President's Choice. I should have bought stocks in PC back when they first started. I'd be doing well now.
