The Erratic Homemaker has an article on what name brand products she will not budge on, as she feels the generic is not as good as the name brand. I have a few of those myself. What are your weaknesses?
Mine are:
1. Coke. I almost never buy soda, but when I do, it must be real (and not diet!) Coke.
2.Clinique Dramatically Different facial moisturizer. Of course, this can be had far cheaper on E-bay than at the counter. Or if you have a sister who works at a department store who gets more free samples of such things than she can use. :)
3. Scott TP. I think other brands are softer, but with Scott I don't have to change the roll every single day. Every time I've gone to another brand, I always go back to Scott.
4. Dove antiperspirant. I will use other brands if I can't get this on sale, but I don't like to. I really do think the moisturizer in it helps. This is one thing that I generally stick to brands as well- Secret will keep me from sweating, but with Suave, I may as well rub a rock under my arms.
5. Fabreze Air Freshener and Fabreze Spray. makes the room smell wonderful, and it lasts! I also love the Yes, yes, I know. To be frugal I should be gently simmering apples and cinnamon on the stove to scent my home, but I really love Fabreze! I have bottles of it all over my house- in our bathrooms, in my car, in our animal room (we have three guinea pigs and a house rabbit), hidden in a basket in our living room- fabreze air freshnerFabreze spray- I spray down my curtains, my sofa, my car seats, my bedspread every week or so. I've tried generic brands. I've tried making my own. Nothing has satisfied me as much as Fabreze. I look for dollar off coupons
and stock up when one of the stores in Wichita does double dollar coupons.
