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.

oh and

Dowe Egberts coffee
Green and Blacks chocolate and hot chocolate drink

what an interesting thread!

But I'm too flakey for brand loyalty. I'll try anything at least once

Fortnum and Masons loose tea leaves
Domestos
Clairol perfect 10 hair dye
Johnsons baby lotion
Coca cola
jensen dry gin
Bisto gravy granules
kellogs cornflakes

This thread gives me flashbacks to shopping for my grandmother. Her shopping list was all branded and if they didnt have the particular brand specified we werent to buy it. She was an adman's dream.

Heinz tomato ketchup
Hellman's barbecue sauce
Mallon's sausages
Splenda
Almat liquid wash (Aldi) and Comfort fabric softener (everything else I've tried has been bad news for my eczema :( )
WW caramel creamed rice
Flora Light

Can't think of anything else

I have no brand loyalty whatsoever, I have some minor preferences but if it's twice the price I don't bother.

I'm amazed at those who think they can tell the difference between brands of non-applicator tampons once they're out the wrapper and up your fanjo

I did have a preference for kotex tampons when I was using them, but that was purely based on them having pretty wrappers and being able to twist to open. None of this finding a little strip to tear off the middle bit and accidentally leaving the top half of the tampon coated in plastic and then wondering why you were leaking everywhere

Makro's own label luxury toilet roll as my dc like to make gloves out of the toilet roll before they wipe their bottoms, so we get through tonnes of it and buy in bulk.

Tampax compak especially after a nasty experience with sainsbos own brand compact tampons (toxic shock syndrome!!!)

Tony and Guy - spray stuff pre-hair straightening thing. I buy others but they are never, ever as good. I have now Learned My Lesson.

Marmite in a glass jar. That's it.
I don't even eat it that often so the top of the jar gets all claggy and furry.

The dog always gets Burns I 'spose but I like novelty and change.

DH and I have a ongoing disagreement over pickles. He insists on Ploughmans, I insist on Branston.
Apart from that and Marmite (another thing he hates) anything we can get in Waitrose (my walkable supermarket, not that i need an excuse) would keep me happy!
