I am stuck on Bandaide Brand cause bandaides stuck on me. happy

Oh great ,I just went out on the limb and bought a box of the no name oneslaugh
laugh I'm only kidding. I've bought all types of bandaides and have some kind of off brand Scooby on my elbow as we speak. I wiped out on my God son's skateboard at the park. I'm told it was "wicked" though. laugh

I was just reading the add from the $.99 store,
It's like they have everything there now produce to freezer items
& they even have a cook book now on $.99 store cooking.

It's kind of scary to think of where some of this stuff is made & out of what that they can sale it so cheap...

You hear all the time that you are paying for the name..but is that always the whole story ?

OMG, I'm a brand name die hard to the core almost sorry but if I'm going to eat it I want something that is worth eating. I have tried some generic brands. But most can not compare to the brand name. Some can veggies I will go the generic but my cabnits are brand name. Shhshs like butter it is either I Can Not Believe It Is Butter or nothing. Yeah my kids laugh at me for that one but hey if it touches this tongue I want it to taste good not just a filler.bigsmile

what about other things like cleaning products , laundry
soap etc.? Do you need brand names for them as well ?I do for laundry soap.

Cleaning products, soap, shampoo are whatever is the cheapest. Laundry products are special since my son has allergies. Food depends on the type-I buy all my meat from a butcher, but mac&cheese is generic.
Beer is Sam Adams.Best beer in the world 12 years in a row.

My hair products are probably the most expensive thing I buy cause I get them from the hairdresser who insists that drugstore stuff is really bad. I do admit I do see a difference in my hair ...but is it worth the price Idoubt it.

Hair products I only buy salon....because I was a stylist for 20 years.....and I get them wholesale. I buy just about everything in no name brand....except for things like peanut butter (Skippy Lite), Kraft tartar sauce for fish...

I will only eat Ragu spagetti sauce. Every other kind (besides homemade) is gross to me.

There are only a few items I will NOT settle for less than my brand:
Hellman's Mayonaise
Heinz Ketchup
Goya Sazon
Snyder's Honey Mustard Pretzel Bits


Otherwise, generic or sale brand is what I grab most flowerforyou

So is there really a difference in the hair products you buy in a salon? Are they really better than drug store?

Go green plant a garden, we fish and hunt for meat,I know everybody can't hunt. Some good cleaning products can be made from things in your pantry. The dollar stores at times do sell name brands so why pay more at another store. Hair products can also come from the pantry or ask friends what works best that might be less expensive than your hairdressers products. We will all have to change buying habits due to rising gas prices.
