I use Target brand (Up and Up) dandruff shampoo, but prefer Tresemme conditioner. Costco brand (Kirkland) baby wipes are pretty hard to beat, but I spring for Pampers Cruisers diapers.
I despise the scent of Up and Up’s bedtime baby bubble bath, as compared to Johnson’s, but don’t mind the difference in smell of Target brand’s makeup remover face wipes and the same product by Boots.
I’m convinced Fiji water just tastes better than the cheap kind, even though many people (mostly men) will argue until they’re blue in the face.
Sure, I always want to save money. If the product is the same — or if its slight difference doesn’t bother me — then I’ll go for cheap. The name doesn’t matter that much to me.
But I will pay for more if I consider the product to be better, or more desirable, in my opinion. It’s definitely all about taste preference for me.

More from me and my monster:
We couldn’t be more alike, and we couldn’t be more different.

Surely my first dog-baby is frolicking around somewhere, cocking his head back and forth in that adorable way he always did, and sprinting across fields of grass with those crazy-strong hind-legs.
