re: Products you do/don't skimp on

Do
Trashbags
Detergent
Paper Towels

Don't
Tires
Shoes

It depends. I won't use low quality TP, garbage bags, etc. but some stores like Winn Dixie and WalMart have their own brand that is the exact same thing as an expensive brand.

For example, Great Value has a toilet paper that says "Compare to Charmin" and they also have one that says "Compare to Cottonelle". Both of those are exactly the same in quality as the brands they're knocking off. Same with Great Value garbage bags.

They're called Snuggies

Sodas. I think some of the knock-offs taste better than the name brand.

Do: Yup! For non-cocacola sodas: I've actually notice I like the cheap knock off sodas better recently. Their sprite version tasted not as syrupy.

Dont: I never skimp on deli meat - Boars Head. Sausage. Pepperoni. Cheese as someone else said. Wine to some extent, other than Kirkland or Black box for table wine.
