(I do like those kettle chips, though -- even though I try not to buy them!) I don't buy mayo often but when I do, I'm a Hellman's girl. A Tab woman (who will reluctantly buy a diet coke or pepsi if pressed), a Colgate ("great regular flavor") kind of woman! I may switch brands, but I seldom go generic.

I can't give up certain brands either.<BR/><BR/>And, if you'll notice in those boxes of tampons, they keep putting less and less in there, even though they're jacking up the price.

I stopped buying brand name tampons eons upon eons ago -- the scariest part, Beth? the same companies manufacture them ... just different packaging and marketing strategies.<BR/><BR/>but I am NOT doing without my Best Foods real mayo, or my Diet Coke (the real thing) ...Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230544418684268354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-1571580033306064502009-03-05T14:27:00.000-06:002009-03-05T14:27:00.000-06:001. hilarious that you called it puffs kleenex sinc...1. hilarious that you called it puffs kleenex since kleenex is also a brand name. that's not the only brand that has come to stand in for the general name. :-) and i use it all the time too, tho' we only have kleenex here and not puffs, but i'm ok with that. because they're not the dusty kind of kleenex for some reason. <BR/><BR/>2. you cannot buy generic mayonnaise. it's hellman's or nothing! silly. :-)<BR/><BR/>3. if you buy the liquid-filled advil, nothing's better than them other than some kind of mainline ibu solution. :-) but for everyday use, i'm totally with ya on the generics.<BR/><BR/>4. i was thinking just today about buying a cheaper foundation, but when i passed through the duty free, i was inexorably drawn toward the estee lauder counter. i can't skimp on my futurist. i just can't.julochkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884096685015570257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-68135623697458185992009-03-05T12:45:00.000-06:002009-03-05T12:45:00.000-06:00ha! i know exactly what you mean. we went cheap on...ha! i know exactly what you mean. we went cheap on toilet paper for a while and man. it's rough. :)Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699674732274478502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-24142087713161107782009-03-05T11:15:00.000-06:002009-03-05T11:15:00.000-06:00I seriously struggle with this...I will stand in t...I seriously struggle with this...I will stand in the trash bag aisle for 5 minutes, staring at the effing bags trying to justify spending $9 on something that goes directly in the trash! Damn you Hefty and your superior quality! And don't get me started on the toilet paper, those cottonelle puppies get me every time. Oh and peanut butter!

We have a grocery called Publix here and all of their store brand is great. But I can't bring myself not to buy Heinz, Miracle Whip, Kraft's cheese and namebrand personal products. I find the toilet tissue is ok but generally is looser on the rolls so you use it up faster.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851293154388793520noreply@blogger.com
