    Default Is there one item you won't buy generic on?

    Just curious, is there something you buy that you always get a certain brand, whether you have coupon or not?
    I thought about this when I bought my coffee mate french vanilla creamer, I have tried the other brands and don't like them, so I always buy it, sometimes with a little guilt lol.

    For me it is my coffeemate. For dh it is his toilet paper, he only wants me to buy charmin, so for the master bath I do but for the other bathroom I get what ever is the cheapest, though with the charmin I try and stock up on it when it goes on sale.

    Honey Nut Cheerios. I don't usually even buy these, but the generic brands are always ... crunchy?

    Dove soap - that's the one DH insists on... oh and Cheerios (when we buy them) - generic just grosses me out (just the regular kind - I actually prefer the off-brand apple cinnamon and honey nut varieties )
