Branded products you won't compromise on

mikemac1

Own brand anti dundruff shampoo ain't worth a cuss imo. Head & Shoulders only for me.

Own brand Fruit n' Fibre is awful. I only buy Kellogs

Have you any products that you just won't go cheaper on? Only the best/most expensive for you?

RhubarbCrumble

Kerrygold butter

Heinz ketchup

Some of the brands in here make the supermarket own brand

Topic title ends on a preposition. The type of English up with which I will not put.

Does it have to be out of a Donegal Creameries carton, or can you drink out of one of the many other cartons that use their milk?

Honestly can't think of anything.

That doesn't mean I don't buy branded products, I do for shamppos, conditioners, shower gel, body lotion etc. but I tend to buy different ones each time I buy anything.

I really don't get the Fairy Liquid hype, I find it rather nasty stuff - way too smelly and takes forever to rinse off.

Only factory-produced stuff?

Well lah-di-dah. No recession in your house.

Hey Barry's Tea people: Is there any extra-strong blend? I prefer Barry's because it's an Irish company, but Lyons' pyramid bags mean I can get it strong enough to tar roofs with, which is how I like it.

Heinz Beans, ketchup, and mayonnaise. Other than that I don't mind.

You're welcome

The_Valeyard

Dishwasher tablets.

osarusan

Tickets for events.

The knockoffs aren't worth a f**k.

Littlehorny

Has to be snack foods, maybe its because i'm so used to them but non branded crisps or tortias just don't cut it the same as tayto, king or doritos do.

I bought drill and angle grinder from a rep fella that I contacted.
That must be 12 years ago, still working perfectly, and they get good going.
Fairly expensive at the time, but worth it.
As my granny used to say, "I can't afford to buy cheap things"

This is the main one for me. Store brand toothpaste is not to be trusted.

It must be a sub standard factory making the supermarket ownbranded ones that makes all the difference.

Durex

I actually find Durex to be one of the worst and overpriced brand of condoms out there.

Back on topic, has to be aftershave. Never ever will I use a cheap brand.

fussyonion

Chocolate-I've tried Lidl and Aldi and I just don't like it.
Loo roll-Only Charmin will do for me.
Toilet Duck-Only one I like as it's scented.
Ham-I only eat Denny ham.

Apart from that, I'm not fussy.

theteal

Honestly, probably only football boots.

Lenin Skynard

Koka noodles.

Ilyana 2.0

Nescafé coffee. I'll buy everything else own-brand if I have to, but not coffee.

theteal

Ninja edit, should not be trying to read threads while cutting the grass. Carry on

And who are you buying them for?:)

Very correct about the aftershave fwiw.

Well.. obviously for myself. After I started to realize how bad they were, I started to try others.

Worst: the ones in Lidl. Broke first time I used them.
Best: Skins. Usually but them online and they work out to be substantially cheaper.

Egginacup

Gillette razors.

If I don't have my Sensor or Mach 3 and need to buy disposables then it's Gillette Blue II or nothing.

Bic and Wilkinson Sword shred the shit out of my face.

I'll compromise on pretty much anything else but if I don't have Gillettes then I'm not shaving until I get them.

Not for the people who measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk and cut with an axe.

I'm the opposite.

Always Wilkinson Sword, don't trust Gillette. The ads. They're just soooooooooo awful.
