What are some items you use and just don't want store brand or generic when only the name brand will do?

The Heinz ketchup is the only one we use. Got a free Hunts bottle once...no one would use it. It became BBQ sauce. Dawn dish soap is the only one too! Tp is either Charmin or Northern . Most store brands for other items are good. Kleenex, by the way, has to be kleenerx or puffs. Others too scratchy!

We use very little ketchup, but it's Heinz or nothing. K.C. Masterpiece BBQ sauce, Dawn original dishwashing liquid, not sure what else I'm picky about. AM

Tide laundry soap, Advil (never got as a good results with generic, not sure why), Honey Nut Cheerios, Charmin or Northern TP, Dove or Pantene shampoo and conditioner, Jif crunchy peanut butter, Nestle or Ghiradelli chocolate chips, diet Coke.... those are probably the main ones

Puffs with lotion. I think that is about it.

Dr Pepper, Heinz ketchup, Scott TP, Wolf Brand Chili, Oak Farms chocolate milk, Jiffy cornbread mix and Mrs. Baird's bread. Other than those, we're pretty flexible.
