Ignore my last post. Fuck that post!

What product do you use/eat/buy that has to be branded?

I have to have McVities digestives. I just can’t eat cheap ones!

I know Heinz baked beans and ketchup is a popular one

I couldn’t care less about most brands. There are a few preferences we’ve got though.

My tonic of choice is always Aldi slimline. Baked beans have to be Aldi too. The only brown sauce I will ever eat is HP or branston fruity. Hubby will only drink Coca Cola full fat, never Pepsi or a sugar free version. Toothpaste is always Colgate and we both have a preference of a certain deodorant too.

Other than that, we buy the brand/own brand which offers best value for money on the day we shop

Agree with the cat food thing. Ours like butchers classic in cans. Our diabetic cat gets pouches of gourmet fine flakes twice a day as she adores it, it’s the one way we can guarantee her eating sufficiently before her insulin injections.

I actually prefer a lot of own brand to the branded products. More expensive does not mean better.

It's like on that programme eat well for less. when they hide the labels and a lot of people don't know the difference they just convince themselves that the brand is the only one they like. I'm sure I'm guilty of this especially with coffee.

I quite like milk from a goat, but it's bloody expensive, so cows will have to do.

Sheep's milk isn't bad either. I remember milking off a very productive ewe who'd only had a dopey single in order to keep her milk going. Was pretty tasty (that which I didn't feed to her lamb)...

The only things where I stick to a specific brand are certain tools, other tools I just buy good quality.

Food wise don't really care as long as it tastes alright, the only exception being that I will not buy cheap sausages or brandy. I don't have to get expensive ones or specific brands though.

Clothes, I don't care for expensive designer stuff. I buy things I like, sometimes they are cheap, others relatively expensive. I have no idea which brands are "cool", or not and have never even heard of most mentioned in this thread.

If people think less of me for that, it's fine by me.
