Which branded items would you happily swap for cheaper (just as good) alternatives?

Trying to save some pennies.....

Are there any branded items that you love, but have found a cheaper alternative that is honestly just as good?

My finds:
Disarono ammaretto - Lidl Armilar ammaretto
Andrex shea butter toilet roll - Morrisons shea butter
John Lewis plain cotton sheets - La Redoute
John Lewis lighting - BHS (not in all cases)

Anyone?

Pretty much everything in Aldi, I save at least £40/week I reckon compared to a comparable shop in Tesco.

Just found beautiful glass 'flower bottle' in Next today, £4.

Similar Dartington one in J Lewis - about £36.

Once i year i go into the company see if there is anything gorgeous i have to have and go and find it for a third the price in John Lewis.

Though I realise that is not exactly frugal.

Aldi mayo, better than Hellmans.

morrisons version of magnums are better (IMO) than magnums

Waitrose Essentials baked beans are way nicer than Heinz.

EthelB - not heard of the company - is there a website?
