What household goods do you refuse to economise on and why?

Kleenex Balsam tissues.

There's more, will think

Including food?

Has to be organic milk

have long since resorted to cheapo clingfilm and loo paper (for the dcs) , obviously not for my delicate bottom

Filetti - other washing powder kicks off DS's eczema
Brabantia bin liners - I'm not sure why really, I just like them, they're nice and sturdy.

Agree balsam tissues

some food products such as helmans mayo and decent meat

loo roll, the cheap stuff runs out so quickly that it is a false economy

Ecover (or similar) washing up liquid, hand soap and washing powder, cheap stuff gives DH eczema and makes my hands really dry

oh yeah and meat - I cannot bear cheap bacon etc, I think you can taste the fish meal that the pigs are fed from it and its GREEN FOR GOD'S SAKE!
Same with mince - mince is not supposed to be grey, I can instantly taste if meat is from somewhere like ASDA even if its in a bolognese or something.
Mind you I think my butchers is actually cheaper than some supermarkets so not sure if that counts

bin bags, cling film and meat

Oh yes bin bags have to be brabantia

Toilet roll, the cheap stuff rolls up as it gets 'damp' and your fingers go through it EUW!
Washing up liquid...false economy.
Washing powder...I like what I like.
Shower gel...cheap ones dry my skin out.

Kitchen roll. I used to buy the really cheap stuff, but then discovered Bounty and that lasts so much longer.
Kellogs cornflakes ~ there is no substitute! Don't buy them often these days because they are so expensive, but I do like them
Sanitary towels ~ just no!

I have never bought clingfilm, cannot imagine why people waste their money on it, lol.

champagne.

loo roll - i wont use ones that look rough and also it has to be the cod fillett birdseye fish fingers

Organic eggs and milk, and Cafe Direct coffee. I tried buying the ordinary Sainsbury coffee - it was fine as far as I was concerned, but DH noticed and insisted we bought the Cafe Direct stuff.

Definitely agree re clingfilm. Bought some Sainsbury's Basics stuff and it was awful.

I don't economise much tbh. The area where we do economise is on portion control - so good quality stuff but not much of it (when it comes to food).

Things I'd never compromise on are:

Coffee
Tea
Milk
Meat
Fruit
Loo roll

Organic milk
Free range eggs
Loo roll
Cheese
Coffee

balsam tissues yes
washing up liquid
cheese
meat
clingfilm - the cheap stuff drives me crazy!!!

Finish Quantum dishwasher tablets

Tissues
Meat
Pet food
Fruit
Veg
Cheese

Loo roll

Your fingers go through the other stuff

Coffee..cheap stuff is manky ditto teabags

Sanitary towels

Nappies

Washing powder

Washing up liquid

Hellmans mayo Every other brand is cack

no wonder my shopping bill looks like the figures for the national debt

Chicken

Meat

Fish

Bread

Cheese

I buy Sainsbury's Clean Home washing liquid and conditioner - they're very good, very gentle/dermatologically tested for sensitive skin, environmentally friendly and cheaper.

DH says cheap champagne is not worth bothering with!!!

Andrex Loo rolls
