What brands are you completely loyal to?

[nameymcnamechange]

Me:

Ecover multi-purpose cleaner in a spray bottle thingy (for cleaning kitchen surfaces and table) - never use anything else.

Yorkshire Tea.

Persil washing powder.

Lurpak butter.

Anything else I will experiment with, but those are my constants.

Lil-lets
Coke
Surcare
Clipper Tea
Jack Daniels
Yeo Valley
Dove Invisible deodorant

Thats it. All the essentials covered.

Marketeers must be loving this thread.

Clipper teabags (the only good ones in my extensive research!) or Whittards loose leaf

Whittards Santos and Java coffee

Aveda moisturising lotion (dh buys it in the US otherwise I just wouldn't on principle, it is so marked up over here)

Mitchum unperfumed deodorant

Fairy liquid

Kallo organic chicken stock cubes (don't taste so much like stock cubes)

Seeds of change spaghetti (best texture)

Apple Mac

Heinz ketchup and beans
Branston pickle
Cafe Direct coffee
Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup
Fairy Liquid
Longley Farm cottage cheese
Zip firelighters

oh upon making a coffee, i realised I need to add

Lavazza

oh yes, someone mentioned JD, so best add

Martini - not 'vermouth'

Apple.

Everything else is negotiable

Hellman's mayo.

oh yes, DH just said that regretfully, he must add to this - Apple (typed on a macbook)

Me:
Heinz Ketchup
Kenco Coffee
Vosene Shampoo
Sanex Shower Gel

DP:
Heinz Beans
Nambarrie Tea

Generally I am happier to try supermarket own brands or cheap versions than DP is, but not for any of the above.

Oh, Sure deodorant too.

Err yes Apple I scoffed for ages, then bought a 4 iphone thingy and I love it. Now I finally understand what they were all ranting about. It Is Brilliant.

After years and years, the only products I always buy are:

• kerastase shampoo and conditioner (for my rubbish hair. It has never been so silky)
• Eve Lom facial cleanser
• Dr Palmers cocoa butter

Everything else - I go for the cheapest available (so I can afford the Eve Lom and Kerastase).

Oh yes Vosene.
We used it when we were kids, too. It's great. Saves choosing from 234648795164 shampoos on the rack.

Fairy Liquid
Lush Henna for hair dyeing purposes

Umm... that's pretty much it! I'm a supermarket own brand annd value/basics kind of gal when it comes to brands; I put more stock in things like welfare standards for eggs/meat and locality.

Lavazza for espresso
Fairy liquid
Lurpak
Heinz ketchup (not beans, prefer Waitrose)
Waitrose and John Lewis
Twinings
Schwepps tonic
Bombay Sapphire gin

Bobbi Brown makeup
No.7 skincare

yy to whoever said that Waitrose chocolate digestives are much better (and about half the price) of McVities.

Heinz ketchup and beans
Andrex
Dorset Muesli
Cravendale milk
E cloths
Total greek yogurt
Fairy liquid
Persil Big and Mighty
Whole Earth peanut butter
Maldon sea salt
Marigold stock powder

Twinings Earl Grey
Nairns oatcakes
DIM pants

given the choice I'll buy Ecover clothes wash (all the others stink to me) and Vogels bread (but it's so often out of stock I have to buy other poor alternatives).

Apart from that I wouldn't describe myself as a loyal customer at all. I have fav's but will try stuff on special without any issue.

DH - vosene, andrex, original source lemon shower gel

Me - Mitchum deodorant [sweaty]

Mostly buy Waitrose own brand everything courtesy of Ocado

Heinz beans and ketchup
HP brown sauce

Cravendale milk
Gordons gin
Pepsi

Lurpak
Ariel

Marmite

I forgot Fairy washing up liquid

First Direct - used to work for them, know how well trained they are and how concerned they are about customer service.

Illy coffee - the best

Fairy liquid

Klennex Quilted Double Velvet toilet tissue

M&S 400 thread count bed linen

John Lewis - DH and I made a concious decision never to use places like Comet again and always use JL

Maldon Salt

Saint Domingo Paprika

Birdseye fishfingers

Kirkdale (CostCo) kitchen roll - there really is nothing as good on the market

Coca Cola

Barefoot wine (this is my DH's brand )

Kellogs, if it doesn't say Kellogs on the box I am not eating it.
PG tips
Heinz baked beans and ketchup
Cadburys
Fairy non-bio
Pampers

Apple is like a religion. You either subscribe to it or you think those who do are nuts.

Also, I have a completely irrational dislike of any supermarket that isn't sainsbos and feel resentful if I'm forced to shop in one.
