Ok I dont usually let myself go with all this "NAME BRAND LOGO" stuff like we did in school (lol) and thankfully da son isnt yet either but I do like certain name brands because of one reason or the other. Besides I hate paying Full price for "Name Brands" anyway. so here goes
Jeans: Old Navy, DKNY or Ralph Lauren (Fit me better)
Shoes: Birkenstock, or Eastlands for when I wear them alot. Occassional useage is Payless, K-Mart you name it.
Coats: OK this one I admit I bought a Columbia parka and paid out the wazzzzzzz for it even on sale but it was sooooooo warm. LOL
Make-Up; Mary Kay (I used to sell it and have tons left lol) or Clinique because it doesnt break me out.
Hand Lotion: Mary Kay or Burt's Bees (best I've found)
Toothpaste: Crest or Aquafresh
Toothbrush: Sonicare I think is the best (hated the Braun)
Shampoo: Kenra or Biolage
Soap: anything that smells good lol
Laundry soap: anything that is on sale
TP: Charmin
Dishwashing liquid: Dawn
Ice cream; Blue bunny
Soda : why Pepsi of course
socks,undies and unmentionables: anything that is soft,on sale or cheap
Chips: Frito-Lay brands
Bread: Bunny or Butternut
Dog Food and Kitty Food: Purina
ok peeps those are just a few of the brand names I like. I try not to be the type that just gets things cause of the brand unless I truly have tried it and prefer it too others. How Bout you let us all know your feelings on brands.

Dawn dish soap, Pantene Shampoo/Conditioner, and Mentadent toothpaste are the ONLY name brand anything in my house. Those are the only items I have never found an "off-brand" that compares to them. Although I must admit, if I could afford it, I would own Addias Shelltop sneakers in EVERY possible color. ;)

I don't have very many brand name gotta have's,
Laundry soap: All free and clear (dh breaks out if we use anything else)
Dish soap: Dawn Antibacterial
Cookies: Pepperidge Farm Milano (but only when on sale)
Bread: I'll eat almost any kind, but I love Bunny the best cause we have a Bunny Bread Bakery here in my town, so it's always soft and I love driving by that place when its cold, smells so yummy!
Mayo: either Hellman's or Kraft, not the off brand.
Most other food and cleaning item is what ever is cheapest. As for clothing, I either shop at Meijer's or K-Mart. Especially for the kids, they ruin or grow out of things too fast to pay alot for. I will by brand name if I can get a good deal on them.
