What are some items in your home that you just can't buy store brand, or off brand, varieties of?

French's French Fried Onions
Diapers (many store brands are prickly on the inside!)
Wipes (many store brands are rough, and Pampers Sensitive wipes are incredibly soft!)
Splenda
Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup


What are some things that you LOVE the store/off brand versions of?

Hy-Vee diet cream soda
Great Value whipped cream (otherwise, it has to be Cool Whip--HyV doesn't do good on this one)

I've come to admit that I really like Kraft Mac&Cheese!

Stove top stuffing-tried walmart's brand once and it was nasty!
Kraft cheese slices-prefer Kraft but will do generic. Just doesnt seem to melt as nicely.
Kraft mac and cheese-I do not eat it, but I wont serve my kids anything else.
Hamburger Helper-I think it is kinda gross, so I can only imagine that generic would be worse.

That's all I can think of now, I will have to come back if I think of more, which I am sure there is.

Laundry soap-Has to be Arm & Hammer, it is the only one that everyone's skin agrees with.

develop any rashes from them)

Store Brand Items: Walmart French Dressing

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

These are the things I don't do generic on:
miracle whip
Dr. Pepper
Laundry detergent: has to be All Free & Clear or Gain
Diapers: has to be Pampers, Huggies or Luvs- the cheaper ones leaked!
Ice Cream: Blue Bell or Ben & Jerry's, I do like Mayfield as well
StoveTop
Butter/margarine: I like Country Crock and Land O'Lakes
There are others but these are the main ones, I have tried generic on other stuff lately

Generic pop!

Otherwise I am not picky.


BTW - I've had all brands of diapers leak on us. So what is the point in paying more??

That's one thing I'll never again buy store brand of. Doesn't taste the same at all. Kraft is the best,
