    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? :)

    Fairy liquid

    Heinz tomato ketchup

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I buy the best possible quality for the lowest possible price, doesn't bother me what name is on it when it comes out of the factory.

    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.

    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.

    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.
