What products don't you go cheap on?

[sparks19]

OK I'm sure we all have those products that we use that we never go cheap on. Like for me its toilet paper. LOL I can't stand the "cheap" brands of toilet paper haha it's like using sandpaper to me. I also don't go with the cheaper brands for feminine products.

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

LOL what products do you need to be "top of the line" lol

[JenBKR]

I'm pretty much the same way, I don't like cheap TP or feminine products. I also have to have Heinz ketchup, no other brand will do (probably because I am from Pittsburgh, you're not allowed to like another brand here ). But I do buy a lot of generic items, such as paper towels, and lots of food products.

I don't go cheap on rabbit food. I always have to buy the Martins rabbit pellets.

And Oreos, I can't get the no name oreos,I must have the real oreos lol, the no name just don't taste like oreos to me

I can't think of anymore right now lol.

[kittycats_delight]

I have a few things that have to be 'the good stuff' LOL

pet food is at the very top of the list

cat litter

feminine products

Nutella (Guido will not have any knock off of Nutella it has to be the real deal)

computer components

perfume and skin creams ( I don't buy it often but I do not and cannot buy the cheap knock offs. My skin is too sensitive and there are only certain types I can use)

over the counter meds

There are probably others I will have to think on it though.

I def. need top of the line perfume and headache meds... hmm clothes and shoes, pet products, certain foods and I cant think of anything else right now... Im not too picky on alot of things though, cleaning and certain foods I will get if its not some special brand.

[carole]

Bread is the main one i will not go cheap on, along with milk,margerine,shampoo and conditioners.

Foundation,now i am older need a reasonable one, and will pay more for it.

Cheese and fruit.

Bacon, only buy the one that is chemical and perservative free these days.

Cat food, i will never buy the cheap stuff, i get one that is healthy and usually the most expensive in the supermarket, apart from Lexie's which is special and has to be from the vet.

[RICHARD]

Motor oil, Bullets, chewing tobacco, smoking tobacco, rolling papers, fireworks and pork rinds.

This thread is hilarious!! I didn't realise how "picky" I was until I was reading the responses and going.."oh yeah, I wouldn't scrimp on that either!". But, here's my definate list of "it has to be brand names" items:

Chocolate - cheap stuff just doesn't taste as good...and doesn't satisfy the cravings!
Shampoo & Conditioner - has to be Herbal Essences for me! Well, you've seen the advert haven't you???????!!! LOL!!
Femine Products (enough said!)
Tea - has to be PG Tips...what a good brew!
Perfume - it maybe expensive sometimes...but doesn't tend to go off as quick!
Toilet Paper - I like having a soft bum!
Wrinkle Cream - well, at 26 I have to start with a good one now or they'll be nope hope for me in a few years!!!!
Pet Food - i wouldn't eat the rubbish, so why should they? Although sometimes I think they would probably prefer it!!

Everybody got it right with cheese! I'm from WI (Little Chute- home of the Great Wisconsin Cheese Festival) We buy cheese from specialty stores. Kraft is horrible. Real CA cheese my rear end! It says "artificial coloring red and yellow and artificial flavoring" right on each package of kraft cheese product.

Most dry or canned goods (cereal, boxed pastas, ect.) I'll buy from walmart or sav-a-lot. However, I always buy baked goods, produce, and meats from more reputable grocery stores. I won't skimp on those things.

I don't skimp on auto parts either but my stepdad would

[Glacier]

Besides the critter food....

Cheese...I will pay extra for good cheese. Cheap cheese is icky and life's too short to eat bad cheese!

My allergy meds...I know the box says the no-name stuff is identical, but I swear brand name Reactine works better! I do buy other OTC meds that aren't brand names and can't tell the difference.

[CouturePup]

Nilla waffers! Oh, and Blue Bell ice cream.

[cali]

grabage bags. garbage bags in this house HAVE to be Glad, we sent my brother shopping one day and he brought home generic garbage bags, they sucked, they are awful, kept falling apart, could hold anything heavier then a paper towel etc.. you dont realize how much you love strong garbage bags until you dont have them lol

Femcare products have to be either Always or Kotex, preferably Always.

Tylenol and Advil have to be brand name for the sole reason of shape, I simply cannot swallow the generics due to shape and coating.

most things though I actually PREFERE generaic to brand name. like Ketchup(sorry folks but I HATE heinz ketchup, it has to be no name) and mac n cheese has to be generic, I cant stand kraft dinner, its the most discusting mac n cheese I have ever had lol.

Dog Food/Treats

[Lady's Human]

Coffee!

Animal treats/food.

Cars/parts. Not too many gearheads on here, so I won't go into details.
