ewww i HATE the cloth ones. those leave weird marks on my skin. but i rarely use band-aids anyway so i guess i'm not that picky. i just hate (or used to) the cloth ones.

charmin.

i bought that once when it was on sale. it just wasn't the same as cottonelle WITH aloe. if that is unavailable i will just go with regular cottonelle.

i like the breyer's and edy's ice creams, but sometimes i just want that cheap shit from the big plastic bucket with the red handle. i can't explain it, guess it's just nostalgia or something.

Its pointless to buy cheap household stuff. Cheap q-tips just bend, or the cotton falls off. Cheap napkins stick to your hands and you have to use 10 of them. Cheap glass cleaner leaves streaks....the list goes on. I dont think you save any money in the long run when it comes to that stuff because you end up having to use more.

-sunglasses
-ice cream
-shower items like shampoo and face wash
-nugget

eye makeup remover.

Target makes some good storebrand stuff, especially compared to other retailers (target and harris teeter and kroger are the only storebrands I'll buy; Kroger is limited to things like good cheeses [FYI, they're definitely comparable, and significantly cheaper], canned foods, sometimes ice cream, and some condiments), so I'll give just about any Target brand item a try.

Their eye makeup remover (the one in the blue bottle meant to correspond to Loreal's in the blue bottle) sucks ass.

I actually prefer Scott over all other toilet paper. I've gotten my bf used to it to

I tend to find brands/products that work, and stick with them, so instead of buying 'cheap', I buy 'on sale + coupon'.

I used to toy around with laundry detergents, but dammit, so many irritate my skin. I tried Irish Spring soap once...I was itching moments after getting out of the shower. Events like this tend to keep me loyal to a brand, once I settle on it. And my shampoo? I stick with it because it's moderately priced, smells great, does my hair right...and my cat isn't allergic to it (which is why I had to switch from neutrogena)

Yeah...bras are pretty crucial.

Holler!!!

I seem to always find the good deals on clothing haha. Like yesterday I showed up to dinner with some friends in a cute little cotton dress and they were like "DAMN GIRL SPENDIN ALL HER MONIES" and I was like "Ummm this was a good $7 bucks...now what" haha

I love bargains

Like a dumbass, I forgot a jacket for the roadtrip out west.

So we went to sears in Flagstaff, AZ, where I was fully prepared to drop a little more money than I wanted to on a jacket

...I got a $35 jacket for $2
The sticker price was $11 something, so I was totally floored at what rang up

TP

Deodorant
Paper Towels
Bras

I don't buy a lot of generic stuff (like hardly anything), but most other things (at least from what I can think of) i still look for what's on sale, at least. Those are the things that I'm pretty specific with.

I'm a cheap person, but I don't buy cheap anything. I do find good prices on the things I buy though.
