I am well aware that this post will not be a winner. Bear with me – I’m having photo troubles and this is old material.
Back when I was stumped for topics, one of the suggestions from Brad was about to talk about brand loyalty. I’ll give it a shot.
In most cases, I am perfectly happy with store brands. Generic is often as good as the name brand, if you’re someone like me who doesn’t care. Generic regulars:
butter
fake honey-nut cheerios
coffee
The exceptions are:
Pepsi.
Healthy Choice 7-grain bread
Dove sensitive skin soap
Minute Maid orange juice
Interestingly, Lloyd prefers the Wal-Mart brand of plastic wrap. It holds tight and lasts forever. In our whole marriage, I think we are on our fifth roll.
So, that’s it. Are you brand-loyal?
Brad says
I’m definitely brand loyal. …except for when it comes to toothpaste. I like to switch brands each time I buy more.
Beth says
Pepsi. Kraft mac-n-cheese. Jack’s frozen pizza. Maruchan ramen noodles. OPI nail polish. Cruel Girl jeans. And ALL cereals.
That’s just a start…
Kristi says
Kraft mac’n’cheese… There is no substitute in the mouth of a 7-year-old.
Peggy says
I had to erase my comment because I started to say I’m not very brand loyal & started to recite the exceptions…and it turns out I am mostly brand loyal. But if I find a good generic, I will use it.
Store brand (Weiss only): some meats, maple syrup, OJ, toilet paper, kleenex
Loyal: Coffee-Folgers, frozen vegetables- Birds Eye; ketchup-Heinz; all junk food-no fake Oreos, cheese curls or Taskykakes for me

I only have one brand loyalty (that I know of)--Nesquick cocoa.
Kristi says
Heinz ketchup, Taco Bell taco seasoning, Pepsi & Coke products, Miracle Whip.
Kristi says
Oh, there’s no substitute for Cheetos. Nothing comes even close.
Rae says
Hershey’s chocolate syrup.
Rae says
Oh, and Dove Sensitive Skin soap and antiperspirant/deo.
