Things I don't scrimp on

There are certain things where you just have to suck it up and spend the extra money on to get the brand name. Now, I'm a huge fan of saving a few bucks if the time calls for it, but for some reason I just can not bring myself to go generic for!   1. Mascara I love love love lashes and have been known to use up to 4 different kinds at once. I'm a huge believer that just putting mascara on means you can step out of the house with confidence!     2. Tissues Um anyone else with allergies feel me on this one?? Once Spring and Summer are here, it's hello sneezy.  I need some nice tissues to keep my nose not Rudolph Red! Puffs Plus Lotion is where it's at!  

3. Bras Hellooooooo Victoria Secret. I'm obsessed (putting it mildly), but also enjoy Aerie & Gilly Hicks bras in a pinch. I feel like any other brand I've tried has fallen apart or become stretched out/uncomfortable much quicker than my beloved VS ones.     4. Peanut Butter I'm a Jif girl at heart. None of this Peter Pan or Skippy stuff:P  

5. Spaghetti Sauce Prego all the way, baby! Ragu is just not gonna cut it for me.       6. Gym Shoes I like my Nike shoes, not just any "tennis shoe".     7. Shampoo/ Conditioner Biolage! It saved my hair after I went away to college. You mean teasing, ratting, straightening, and drinking tons of alcohol isn't good for your hair?? Who knew?!        8. Toilet Paper  I once made the mistake once of letting Matt pick up toilet paper for my apartment and he brought over industrial toliet paper they use in schools and fast food places. *shudder*   And since we're in the spirit...   Things I could care less about   Gasoline I am not brand loyal. If I can save a few pennies on gas, you can bet your sweet ass I'll be over at the station with the lowest price!   Nail Polish None of this $8 polish stuff. I don't paint my nails enough to even get through an entire bottle before it goes bad so I like to stick with the $0.99 ones!   Sunglasses Designer sunglasses? Hardly. This girl has gone through 4 pairs already this summer. Yes FOUR. Oops.      Isn't it funny what different people prefer? I know some people who refuse to use cheap nail polish but could care less about shampoo and conditioner.   What can/can't you live without? :)
