I buy butter, not margarine, but I’m not too fussy about the brand of butter. I buy vanilla, and I save by buying a big bottle at Costco. Presently a 16 oz bottle is about 36 bucks, or at least that’s what it was around December, when a friend asked me to pick up a bottle for her. Soda, I prefer the brand Caffeine Free Diet Coke. I never liked generic colas, like RC.

A lot of things I just buy a brand name but I don’t think about it, for example frozen foods or condiments. I prefer Heinz ketchup or Hellman’s mayo. Things like flour and sugar I don’t care about the brand.

I am really into perfume but I try not to buy too much, because after a few years (like two years tops) the scent changes. I am really into soap, and I will buy homemade soap, fancy soap, all kinds of soap. I feel like when it comes to shampoo and conditioner, the cheap stuff works as well as the better stuff, so I buy all kinds. I will also buy that at Costco, and can get brands like Pantene, a big 32 oz bottle for about 8 dollars, sometimes if they have a sale. I’ll also buy cheap stuff at Walmart or the supermarket, 12 oz for about a dollar.

Pillows. Condiments. Name brand Pepsi and Coke.

Honey, Maple syrup, Crab meat

Leather is a good one @KNOWITALL.
