Tiolet paper.

And I will only use cascade 2in1 tablets. I know they are pricey but they do such a nice job.

Parmesan cheese must be Kraft. I tried Walmart brand once and it was terrible. I had to throw it out.
Cascade Complete dishwasher detergent
Fruity Pebbles. All other cereals we buy generic.
Campbell's soup. Especially "cream of ___"
Bernea French Onion chip dip
Freshlike frozen corn
Kraft mac n cheese in the tall box, though we prefer Great Value shells and cheese over all others.
Kraft cheese singles
Tostitos chips

That's all I can think of for now. That seems like a lot though. I really do buy a ton of generic though.

Cascade complete- ( i keep trying generic, but it just doesn't stand up)
Dawn dishsoap- (you just don't have to use so much)
Infusium conditioner
Soft Soap bleach cleaner

That's all I can think of.

Here's my list:

Cascade complete
Heinz ketchup
Hellman's mayo
Crest toothpaste
Zest soap
Dove soap
Huggies wipes - with a coupon there is only a few cents difference from the Wal-Mart brand and 400 vs 420 wipes doesn't make that much difference to me


For some things, like laundry detergent and other cleaning supplies, I won't go super generic but I will buy a less expensive namebrand.

campbells soup i just can't eat any other kind

This is my only one. I can't stand any other Chicken Noodle soup.


Something that most people my not realize is most store items are made by the name brand company. I work for a Brand Name company but we produce most major stores store label including Walmart. It's for the most part the same product just different packaging.

I agree with the Campbell's Tomato Soup!
Velveeta
I always spend more money on Shampoo/Conditioner
Cat litter (Scoop Away)
Make-up
Also agree with the TP, you have to use more of the no-name so it ends up costing the same!

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of right now!

I tend to go generic with groceries
But I am a Yarn snob. The common brands you see at the craft stores just don't cut it. If I make something and am likely to spend weeks if not months I want to buy quality and real fiber instead of acrylic red heart.

These are the things I won't do without and I am willing to pay full price for:
Pine Power
Clorox Disinfecting Floor Cleaner(Leaves a great shine and no build up)
TP( Has to be Angel soft or Northern)
Downy
Arrid XX Dry Spray

I think that is it. I try to catch them on sale and stock up but sometimes that does not work out.

There are a few things I think are worth paying more for. I only buy Duke's mayo (it's a southern thing), Viva paper towels, Dove for sensitive skin and Tampax, to me no other tampon brand can compare. Oh, and I love Progresso soups.
