Some things you just shouldn't be skimpy about. These are the things it is worth paying a little extra for and buy the brand-name product:
| 1. | Ketchup - buy Heinz - WHY: Tastes so much better and won't piss all over your burger when you turn it upside down |
| 2. | Toilet Paper - buy soft, double-ply - WHY: Won't end up with crap all over your hands or a sore butt-hole |
| 3. | Tissues - buy Kleenex - WHY: Unless you want to like Rudolf near Christmas time |
| 4. | Batteries - buy brand-name for both AA for remote controls and larger more expensive car batteries - WHY: They really do last so much longer |
| 5. | Jeans - buy Wrangler, or Abercrombie, or any designer style - WHY: Fit better, more comfortable, and won't rip after third tumble-dry |
| 6. | Insurance - buy big-name, veteran companies - WHY: Trust me, God-forbid anything does happen to you, or your car, or your home, you won't want to deal with the customer service that comes with a hot new highly-advertised insurance company with a catchy commercial |
| 7. | Condoms - buy Trojan - WHY: 1) You won't look like a cheap-ass if you actually do get her back to your bedroom 2) She (and you) will "enjoy" it more 3) The little more you pay for Trojans is exponentially cheaper than having a baby or paying for years of ointments |
| 8. | Tennis balls - buy Wilson or Penn - WHY: If you play tennis, you already agree; if you're just starting, just trust us. |
| 9. | Bread - fresh, brand-name, multi-grain - WHY: Respectively: Lasts longer, tastes better, live longer... Okay, so its not 10 cents per loaf anymore, but its really not much more. |
| 10. | Steak - buy a Filet Mignon or Prime Rib - WHY: If you wanted to chew on it for 10 minutes before you swallowed, you could've got a stick of gum for 10 cents |

I would add aluminum foil to the lost. The cheap stuff doesn't work.
