Dont buy the cheap kind!

nataliefamily3

So I asked my husband to bring me home razors, he got the dollar tree $1 type. Just shaved my legs and feels like I took off a layer of skin. My legs are bright red!

This leads me to ask, what product food or otherwise do you hate the cheapo brand of? I also hate rip offs of kraft mac and cheese. Ick

Q tips. the off brand ones are horrid. I might as well use a stick!

I agree with you on razors and mac and cheese!!!!

I won't carry a knock off purse, a plain old target store bag is ok if it's cute.
But I refuse to carry a knock off Coach, I just save up and get the real thing.

I'm very brand specific on EVERYTHING. I don't do generic.

I JUST had this conversation with my mom! How funny. :bigsmile:

** Trash bags: I cheaped out when my husband and I first got married and set up house, and they were so weak that I had to double and triple up just so the bags didn't break when I picked them up!

** Dish soap: no-name brand dish soap just doesn't last. Every two dishes I have to re-soap the sponge.

** Saran wrap: I had no idea that plastic wrap was NOT supposed to infuriatingly stick to itself! Then one day I bought actual Saran-brand plastic wrap, and couldn't believe how cooperative it was!

** Blenders. My wonderful husband got me a Vitamix for Christmas (YAY!), and my crappy old cheapy blender just melted into a shameful little puddle in the shadow of the vastly superior machine.

Yup. And the quality difference between a knock-off and the real thing is huge.

Might be TMI, but pads and tampons. Those store brand tampons are cruel and unusual.

Dish soap is a big one for me. I only use Dawn. I have tried others and they don't work.

I attended a conference that had a presentation on Intellectual Property Crime. I really had no clue. It is scary to know where the money is going and what else goes along with it. I won't do knock off.

For me - mac and cheese, real mayo, ketchup. I'm sure there is more.

Same here. I'm a handbag snob.

Same goes for shoes too. Cheap poorly-made shoes are the WORST.
