I find Up&Up (Target) Ultra Soft tissues to be at least as good as kleenex, if not better. And they’re cheaper.

And I find everyday (Wal-Mart) ultra soft tissues to be as good. My husband likes it even better than Kleenex.

When I tried other company soup bowl for hot soup the soup holed thru the plate

Once when I tried a different cheaper company and served dinner for my kids, I picked up the plate (9") and it ripped.

Wait I will edit to add I was thinking of paper towels which you would need to rip anyways beforehand and then I realized you meant tissues that sucks

Edit again although why not just get like a pretty basket and break the tissues but part before shabbos like you would do with paper towels.... It's also a pretty easy job to give to even a younger kid

It's all of them first of all. Second of all, I can't think of a worse idea than to have piles of tissues in baskets and toddlers in a house together. Hello, snow!

When it comes to shoes, families brands. If I can afford it at the time, a classic good brand.
Random example: I love San Edelman ballet flats. And Franco Sarto. And Steve Madden.
It makes a world of a difference when it comes to shoes.
Clothing- it depends. I don’t buy much non Jewish brands as I unfortunately don’t have much success but when I do the better brands have better cuts and are more flattering

Dawn dishwashing liquid is better than cheaper brands. Other than that, I don't have a brand preference.

PlasticO plastic plates and cutlery
Bounty towel paper
Reynolds silver foil

Adding-pampers baby wipes. Have tried few other companies, nothing's as good as pampers.

I find the PlasticO plates to be too thin. I spend extra on the Dart brand. It's my mishigas.

But it's not the brand I'm after. It's the quality.

Neither am I after brands. Of all cheaper brands I've tried, PlasticO is the best quality. The others rip. Don't know Dart brand. Though I'm very happy with plasticO so I'll stay with that Smile

And while dawn is fine for dishes, I find it is more caustic and bad for my counters and if I want to use it on fabric it bleached. I am Palmolive for me.

Canned goods, mayo, and some other food stuff. (Jewish brand names like gefen).
Cleaning detergents/soaps.

Some outfits for my very sweet but a bit peer pressured dd.

How do you mean? I buy nothing for the name, but everything for the quality/use equation, which means I end up buying "brands" by default.

I don’t mean it any specific way. Interpret it as you like.
