Pretty much anything except ketchup

Will buy Heinz, then Hunt's, but lower than that I don't go

I would agree on the ketchup but I don't like Hunt's. I blind-tasted a ketchup brand and surprisingly, it turned out to be Surefine.

Publix brand and Kirkland brand are pretty good quality. Also we have a German grocery store here called Aldi with a bunch of their own brand stuf LF which is good quality.

None consistently, but I'll randomly buy stuff. I was tasked with an emergency trip to the store the other night and bought off brand baby shampoo that was $1 vs $6 (Johnson & Johnson). It was in the same unique bottle with an oddly shaped pump, and it was blatantly obvious it was the exact same, just rebranded. My wife flipped her shite and wouldn't even talk to me for the rest of the night. She kept saying I should be ashamed and shouldn't be able to look our two year old in the face. Momma's are a weird bunch, and we will never quite understand them.

I can go cheap on toilet paper. I can't stand that soft shite that takes half a roll to get the job done. I need construction paper not a cotton ball.
