Oreos. The generic brands are naaasty.
DH is a pickle snob. He only likes Vlasic. -
American brands for aluminum foil (Reynolds) and Saran Wrap. The European versions are definitely inferior!

I always buy Kleenex brand for actually Kleenex as well as tp.
-
Heinz, always, sealtest sour cream, pampers, charmin, glad Saran wrap, cloverleaf (generic is SO gross. Can't do it). I mostly buy brand name though since I price match nearly everything.
ETA: oh and OPI.
-
I'm happy with a lot of Publix or Target Up&Up products, but I will ALWAYS buy Philadelphia cream cheese. I think it's the consistency?
-
Oreo's, M& M's, Cheerios, Breyer's Ice Cream
-
I actually don't think I really get name brand for anything... Almost everything we get is trader joes brand or 365 from whole foods.
Tampons though, I have to have Tampax Pearls. All others are inferior!
-
@MrsS_Alpha: Oh yesss, all other cream cheese is just super gross and disappointing.
-
I am so happy to see all the responses for Heinz ketchup! I think DH thinks I'm weird that it has to be Heinz. He doesn't like ketchup so I'm the only one who eats it.
Bounty paper towels. It HAS to be Bounty. I didn't realize how much it mattered until we bought some cheap ones.
Some generic chip brands can be really gross. We had a potluck once and the person who brought chips bought Dollarama brand stuff. It was gross. Tasted like pure butter to me with no flavour or salt.

Fage Greek yogurt
Charmin Basic toilet paper
Natracare tamponsI buy a lot of Trader Joe's brand products, as well as Simply Balanced from Target.
DH insists on name brand Q-Tips. He says the generic ones are too bendy.
-
@lady baltimore: my dr fully supports your hub's love of name brand q-tips! she says she pulls a lot of cotton swab ends out of people's ears when they use the cheap ones with the plastic stick, the cotton comes off & that it doesn't seem to happen with the real ones. not that she's super in favor of people shoving q-tips way into their ears, but if you're going to, real q-tips are the way to go
-
@mrs. bird: He'll be thrilled to know he's got doctor approval! LOL One big package of cotton swabs lasts so long, I don't mind paying the extra $1-$2 for name brand.
-
I was in the store today and saw Claussen pickles and grabbed a jar because of this thread. Delicious!
-
Charmin!
-
Pampers wipes - I use 3x as many otherwise
Tsubaki shampoo - Amazing! Also Head and Shoulders
-
For sure Peanut Butter, greek yogurt, and cheese (except Trader Joe's). Feminine hygiene products. Toothpaste. I think many things we get name-brand only usually are pretty equivalent with discounts or coupons to generic.
-
@yoursilverlining: Tilamook!!! My fave!!
Also love Listerine toothpaste. -
@youboots: Tillamook is a must for Oregon girls!
Puffs plus Lotion
Jello Brand Jello/pudding
Coca-Cola
Prego Spaghetti Sauce
Mrs. Butter Worths syrup -
Nothing really is a "must have the name brand" for me, except for Windex. I prefer Tillamook dairy items, but will go with various Organic labels too.
-
Kraft Mac and Cheese
Jif Peanut Butter
All cereal that I like is name brand, the generic always suck!
Claussen Pickles
Saran Wrap
Aunt Jemima syrup

Charmin TP, Huggies wipes, Pampers diapers. My husband must have Jif PB.
-
