I don't remember when I deviated last.
What about you?

I deviate regularly. That way I know my digestive system is working properly

Nope. I'm not branded. I ran when I saw the iron being put into the fire.

I am frugal when I shop.
I look for the best quality at the lowest cost.

There are times when Quality is more important than quantity.

Supporting a family of 6 on one income was sometimes very difficult to make ends meet. We chose many generic (black & white) labels to supply our needs.
At that time, quantity was more important than quality.

Now that I am alone, I have plenty of money to buy quality.
There are however, times and products that I buy because quality is not important.

Here is a small list of some examples:

Computer equipment - Quality is important for durability and dependability
Gasoline - Quantity is more important
Canned Vegetables - A mix, some off-brands have stems and defects that are unappealing. Others are completely acceptable.
Condiments and Spices - Quality is important because they can be used to increase the quality of less desirable brand foods.
Toothpaste and Mouthwash - quality only.
Clothing - highest quality within my budget range for intended use.
Paper products and Disposable Items - Quantity over quality everytime

When shopping I usually don't look at prices anymore. I buy what I want. If I am buying quantity I do choose off-brand a lot. When buying items that are not important or expected to last I buy off-brand. Most of the foods I buy are brand name.

I use shopping lists and include brand names when I feel it is important for quality. Sometimes I never even consider buying off-brand. Like Campbell's Soups.

I classify stores like cars.
There are:
Bentley Stores - High quality - High cost - Luxurious (salad/lunch bars, mini restaurants, cheese counters and taste tester kiosks)
Chevy Cavalier Stores - Mostly good quality - Fair cost - Practical
Yugo Stores - Low quality - Low Cost - Frugal

To each their own

The name Yugo is short for "Yu got to be kidding."

Well you deviate regularly but I am very sure time will come when you will be branded for many items.( May be 55/101!)

Face Soap = Dove
Mayo = Best Foods
Spinach Souffle = Stoufers
Tuna = StarKist

Everything else is okay for generic
or on sale :-)

Dove DOES make the best(least caustic) soap and body wash.

Everything must be branded nowadays

SO Agreed!Fab.

A friend told me when I first moved out at 16. Chince...at.certain things.
Good Bread. Good toilet paper.

Tooth Paste: Crest
soap :Dove, and Dove underarm too
Eyeglass: Oakley

I'm pretty fussy about my coffee, grind up those organic Arabica beans every morning, the ritual never gets old.

The only thing i look at brands is usually when it comes to cooking or baking.
Potato salad doesn't taste the same if i use any mayo besides best foods.
If i deviate from certain baking ingredients it might leave a funny aftertaste.

Tooth paste Tom's only
Facial cleanser noxema
Toilet papet Angel Soft ...soft and great for septic tanks
Mayo Bext foods only
Heavy whipping cream organic onlrpy for my coffee

I use only Philadelphia crwam cheese.
I prefer organic buttef woht use mareribe.
Yeah I am a bit picky

I rarely switch I am a creature of habit.

Nope. I'm not branded.
No you are not branded, you are Dodo_David.

I'm reminded of MTV Cribs. (showing my age)
"Nelly" during a house tour says, "That's my bathroom. No one needs to see that.
*I use Charmin*."

Toothpaste ?? = ( POISON ) I USE REAL BURNT WOOD CHARCOAL
Face Soap = GLYCERINE
Mayo = HOMEMADE BY ME ( REAL EGGS YOLK )
Spinach = HOMEGROWN
Tuna ?? = I DON'T TOUCH this CRAP called TIN CANS (Of any kinds )
Eyeglass?? = OPTOMETRIST'S HOME-BRAND FRAMES, LENSES -1

Deviated ??...WHY ??

You made my acid trips better.

I usually grab the first thing I come too, within reason.
