Which items do you always buy branded?

[Bourbonbiscuits20]

I buy lots of supermarket own brand things and will always give a supermarket brand a go, but some things just don't measure up for me!

Some of the things I always buy the big brand are Birdseye peas and McVities rich tea biscuits.

What are yours?

Toothpaste
Washing up liquid

These are the two biggies, obviously I am getting old and boring but have realised these two things are not satisfactory if not one of the 'big' brands. Happy to hear of own brands that are great but find the supermarket or budget versions of these don't clean as well.

I was about to write a list of the few branded things, then realised its a really long list
Two things that are definitely better are Napolina tinned tomatoes and Mcvities Digestives!

Whole Earth peanut butter
Fairy platinum dishwasher tabs

Coke
Fairy washing up liquid

More than I'd first thought:

Marmite
Colman's English mustard
HP sauce
Coca Cola
President Camembert
St Agur blue cheese
Longley farm cream cheese
Longley farm cream
Fage Total Greek yoghurt
Rose's lime cordial
Proper Nutty Yorkshire peanut butter
Warburton's bagels and crumpets
Knorr stock cubes
Mcvities digestives

To be honest everything really
It doesn't make a huge difference on costs in the grand scheme of things and knowing everyone will eat it is so worth it to me

Most cereals, but especially Cornflakes and Rice Krispies (has to be Kellogg's).

I actually prefer Tesco Weetabix to the branded stuff though.

Lyons tea
Mitchum deodorant
Ariel pods
Duracell batteries

Not much, because I'm cheap. It's mostly own brands here. But we insist on Hellman's mayonnaise, particular coffee brands, and Marmite. We argue about whether Napolina tomatoes are worth the money.

Nothing any more.

It used to be Fairy, but that's gone shit nowadays and Aldi's own is better and cheaper.

Branston beans.

Ice cream is usually B&J or Haagen Daz rather than supermarket.

Cat litter is always Catsan and costs us a bloody fortune but we've tried cheaper versions and they make the job much more unpleasant!

Everything else is non brand, or branded but on offer and therefore cheaper.

HP

Cherry Pepsi

Tampax pearl

Mitchum

Williamson’s earl grey tea

That’s all I can think of, anything else can be supermarket own brand

@topcat2014

Me neither. I'll buy own brand of everything given a chance

@Afwan

On eat well for less they taste tested the "lady pasta" and the household preferred Lidl own brand.

Marmite

Cat food (very fussy cat)

Coke/diet Coke

Peas
ketchup
Cereal
Coffee
Bread
Chocolate

Hellmans mayonnaise
Branston baked beans
Colmans mustard powder for DH

Branston pickle
Marmite
Clinique make up except my mascara which is Lancôme.

Aldi own marmite is rank BTW.
I like own brands but would always buy branded:
Crisps
Marmite
Ben and Jerrys
Quorn

Oh, and of course Felix ( what do they put in it? ) Dcat turns her nose up at anything else....

There are some things which are only really available in one brand, like Bisto gravy powder, Roses lime cordial and Marmite (I’m not near an Aldi to check their alternative)

Of the things which have readily available supermarket own brand alternatives, the only ones I’m faithful to are Kellogg’s cornflakes, Sensodyne, Imperial Leather and Heinz beans/ketchup.

DeCecco pasta
Heinz beans and ketchup
Diet Coke
Lurpak spreadable

I asked fat cat and he said - whiskas in gravy, anything else and I ain’t eating that shit.

Peanut butter
Plant milks
