    -Tissues (I hate the tissues they have at school they make a nose hurt 5x more )
    -Hair products
    -Popcorn & Peanut Butter (skippy)
    -Probably dog food
    -Clothing/some shoes (not riding boots or dress shoes or flip flops)

    Pet food is something that I just won't skimp on (unless it comes down to poor food or no food). I think I will be trying to switch everyone over to Felidae and Canidae.

    Fem care products.

    Cokes.

    car parts.

    my husband prefers to wear *only* levi 501s (black).

    t.p.

    incense. the cheap stuff is diluted with alcohol and is not very awesome.

    I'm sure I have more than this, but this is all that came to mind right away.
    Salad Dressing. I like 1000 island, fat free. But it has to be Kraft. Bruce picked some up for me the other day and first of all, it wasn't fat free and it was the store brand. Bleh!!!
    Also, I have to use Salon Shampoo & Conditioner. Like I said, there are probably a million other things, but I can't think of them at the moment.
    (oh, yeah, chocolate!!! Cheap chocolate is nasty!! LOL)
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Rabbit food (Oslo only seems to do well on Heinold 15-20 Show Formula Rabbit Feed)
    Dog Food. (Niño's on TWO right now)
    Hair dye, only Manic Panic works the way I want on my hair, plus it doesn't make it feel worse and it's all natural so I can leave it in to set for hours. I's motto is "tested on celebrities, not animals!"
    tampons
    Riding gear. I've found out the hard way with at least 5 different major purchases. Most cheap stuff just falls apart, is horribly made, and needs to be replaced soon after buying it.
    Other than those, that is about it.

    Oh yeah, me too. The only bra that stays comfortable all day is the VS full coverage with strechy material in stead of foam cups. I have about 4 of those.

    But I will go with the cheaper paper towel. Or the cheaper dish soap.

    Well I ALWAYS get brand name bird food, I'm always scared no name bird food will not give enough nutrience to my Fids, to me the more money I spend on my fids the happier they'll be ... altho I could be wrong lol.

    I don't mind no name food ... but I rather have it branded.

    As for toilet papper I honestly could never care about it LOL.

    Shampoo/Conditioner-I have very bad dandruff(not trying to gross anyone out but it's very true) and I can't use normal shampoo or else the dandruff will show very painfully, so I must use expensive and specialty dandruff shampoos such as, pert and head & shoulders...

    Purses-I can't buy cheap purses or I will NEVER use it. I'd say it would have to be at least $15 and up...

    Popcorn-I can only buy certain popcorn because if I buy the pathmark brand or cheap brands I can tell the difference..and I absolutely despise it. I need ACT II popcorn or nothing will work.

    Chips-I will eat the lays chips, but I much prefer the more expensive brand called "Cape cod". They are so good and crunchy, and I don't really like eating the lay's brand cause they break so easily and stuff. It's quite annoying.

    Ketchup-Now that is a big one in my book! I cannot eat any other brand of ketchup. You can taste the difference, and the other ketchup brands to me at too watery and sugary....ick. Heinz is the best brand out there and it is even healthier too, I just can't stand other ketchups and you can just forget me using it if is not Heinz.
