No substitute - Brand name only

[Peasie]

Which item in your kitchen you insist on buying the brand name ONLY for which there is no substitute?

For my household, it is HEINZ ketchup, MARUCHAN shrimp ramen noodles (college-age son, OK?), KIKKOMAN lo-salt soy sauce.

What about your household?

Re: No substitute - Brand name only

80% of the time I buy brand name, habit I picked up from my Mom. When she sent us to the store for food items it was a pet peeve of hers if we happen to pick up something that was store brand.

I will do walmart brand on some items.

Some items that are always name brand.
Mayo/Mustard/Ketchup/Salad Dressings
Bread/Crackers/Cookies
Cold Cuts
Breakfast meats (bacon/sausage)
Cereal-Cheerios
Butter
Seasonings
Waffles
Ice Cream
Potatoe Chips

You get the picture!
