I know that most of you are extremely frugal and try to find coupons and the best deal possible! A friend of mine who inspires me to be frugal did a post a few months ago that I thought was very interesting!
She posted some products that her family could not live without. These are things you don't buy the off-brand of because there is just no comparison! They are also things that make life a little easier. I thought I would do that and ask all of you what products your family loves and what you buy no matter the cost.
Here are a few of the things I buy that I don't substitute if I can help it!
1. Swiffer dusters- They are so great for quick dusting, especially if you have kids and don't have time to spend on a pointless chore! They really do get all the dust and they don't let the dust go back into the air!
2. Pledge or Swiffer dry cloths- I have a swiffer sweeper and these are so great for sweeping the floor EVERY DAY when you have kids running around! (It seems like I could do it 3x per day!) They trap dust and dirt that is on the floor and very quick and easy to use!
3. Gerber snacks for toddlers and baby- I really trust Gerber especially since Eliza has a job with them!:) I know they are healthy and they don't have the added preservatives. We do use other snacks of course, but I try and few Gerber snacks each time I shop.
4. Tampax tampons- enough said....you just can't buy meijer brand...:)...or maybe you can..:)
5. Clorox Hard surface Anywhere spray- This stuff is great for spraying toys when you want to disinfect. It is safe for pets and kids and I feel so much better about our toys when they don't have sneeze and snot on them!
Please let me know what your family uses! I am curious!
If I think of any more products we use, I'll post them!

First of all- did you seriously post this at 5:11 A.M.????
Anyway- my two name branders are
1. Puffs - there is just nothing like the lotion filled wipes when the nose is sore!!
2. Charmin - I like Cottenelle also but I usually stick to Charmin toilet paper.
Maybe Puffs should make toliet paper too?!! ;)
Cheerios - The other ones just don't taste right.
Speed Stick - I wish I would have discovered it when I was in junior high! Don't ask...
Cascade powder dish washer detergent- it's the only one that REALLY gets all the stuck food off!
Spray & Wash stain treater- store brand just doesn't work
Clorox Bleach Pen- I don't know HOW I lived without these for so long!!!
(can you tell I'm cleaning tonight?!)
Brand name peanut butter.. the store brands are just not right!
Rice Krispies, not the store brand
Cream of Chicken soup.. campbells
NOT the off brand shampoo, I wonder what's in them?
