Th Israeli drugstore chain SuperPharm has an in-house brand called "Life" which makes very decent and well-priced tights and hosiery. They come in a nice variety of thicknesses and colors and patterns.

Big fan of Costco generics, many of their food options are amazing. I've also had great experiences with Costco toilet paper and paper towels.


I've tried toilet paper from Costco and Target, and paper towels and napkins from Target, too. I just didn't like them. When it comes to things like tissues and toilet paper, I think the better quality ones are worth it. Otherwise I need to use twice as many. I do love Kirkland baby wipes, though.

For a lot of things I'm not so picky, and I buy a lot of up&up brand. Paper goods, plastic bags, contact solution. Actually, I like the up&up garbage bags the best! Better than the name brands.

Up & Up tissues from Target are comparable to Kleenex and other fancy brands at a fraction of the cost. (I rave about them almost to the point that people think I make commision Laugh)

Up & Up cotton swabs, bandages, peroxide, paper towels etc etc.

When I want to test to compare the quality, I usually buy the smallest pack available and go from there.

(I am actually not happy so with the Target brand pads, contrary to what others said. That is my experience only so maybe try for yourself.)

That's funny, my family doesn't really like it. I still buy it if better brands are not on sale though.

I ordered it online just last week. It came to my door and was worth the $3 shipping charge. Yeah, they didn't have it in the store anymore.....

And which products do you only buy brand name?

I love Up&Up (Target) brand tissues. I buy the ultra soft 3-ply, and I think they're better than the name brand tissues. And cheaper is a plus!

I only buy Charmin toilet paper, and Bounty napkins/paper towels. I've tried a few off-brand ones and they're not worth it IMO!


The Prince and Spring paper towel is really great. It's Boxed.com's brand.
Their disinfecting wipes are also better than the Clorox ones.

Shoprite brand baby wipes. Only Kleenex brand tissues; some of the others are like sandpaper...
