Whether the price difference is ten cents or a dollar, there are some things that you ll just pay the higher price for.
Even when I was a poor college student and every cent mattered, there were certain things I just couldn t buy the generic brand of. Most notably? Ketchup. Don t give me Signature Select. Don t give me Great Value. Hunt s? Hunt s is just a prettier poser. I ve been a Heinz girl since birth.
.or at least I thought. A few years ago a new ketchup entered my heart (ok, more literally, my stomach.) When now defunct The Tailgate opened in the former Cheerleaders space on Ann Morrison Park Drive, they didn t serve Heinz ketchup. They didn t serve Hunt s either. Instead they brought us a bottle with the letters MFT large and in charge on the label. I d never heard of that brand before.

We got wondering over the weekend, is there a situation where you will only buy the name brand of something and absolutely never the generic?
JStew: It s funny, I m usually the guy that s barking in some corner about the fact that people blow their hard earned money on the name brand, when the generic is usually just as good. Sometimes though, it just isn t the case. For instance, I started getting the off-brand toothbrush heads for my electric toothbrush. Not a good idea. In the time it usually takes to go through one or two of the name brand ones, I went through a whole package of them from one of the big box stores. For that matter, same deal with the same box store s dental floss. Total garbage. And drumsticks... oh boy. I never, ever, ever buy the cheap ones of those. I go through twice as many in half the time. No bueno..
