Shopping and brand names

I can't really think of anything specifically. Like I won't buy knock offs, my bags are Coach/Vera/Dooney/etc, but other than that, I just buy whatever.

I stick with the same dog food because as long as their diet is consistent, they don't stinky fart. :rofl

I buy a bunch of our groceries at Aldi, so that's mostly off brand.

I love it, you have your priorities set correctly... purses matter!

I'm only brand specific on some things.
My DH only likes Charmin tp, so I only buy that. I've tried sneaking the Target brand and he wasn't fooled, although it looked exactly the same to me.
I only buy Kraft singles.
I like a lot of the Wegmans store brand stuff.... their mac & cheese is actually better to me than Kraft (gasp!) and it's less than $.50 a box.
I only use Downy liquid, no other fabric softeners in this house.
If I were to actually buy soda, I only get Coke products. Pepsi products are gross to me.
I very rarely buy name brand drugs. Generic is the same thing, so why pay for the label?
I think that's it... :)

Tori, my husband used to be a freak about Coca Cola. He could tell if the Coke had been bottled for more than 6 months. He now drinks Coca Cola at parties only.

I only buy EOS lip balm because ones with lots of fake stuff give me hives. That's about it except stuff for my son. He eats a lot of the earth's best nuggets, ravioli, etc. because it's organic and whole grain. I like a lot of target products.

EOS?
 
Here you go:

1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
1 teaspoon Salt (or sea salt)
1 teaspoon pepper (I don't use this much because we don't like things very spicy so I end up doing about 1/4 tsp.)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (I omit this.)

**I usually triple this and place in an airtight container. About 1 Tablespoon of this = 1 packet.
I found this recipe online via Pinterest sometime back and really like it. :)

I make my own taco seasoning as well since pinterest :D

I'm in Norway so I'm not gonna list any brand names, but I do tend to be a brand name shopper. Not just for food, but for clothes etc as well. I bet I'm gonna change the hard way, once the house is finished and I start paying full mortage :p
 
For the most part I can go either way, but I must have Burt's bees Chapstick!
