Things you should not buy the inferior version of, compromise on the quality of or think it can be done on the cheap.....

1. Toilet paper
Why risk something so important when for the sake of a quid more it can be like using a quilt

2. Sausages
Never buy sausages with less than 86% pork - what do they put in these things ?

3. Mattress
You spend a lot of time in bed so get comfortable

    Curry Houses - very picky about this, not sure who you can trust.
    Vodka - can't stand the cheap stuff.
    Baked Beans - Heinz only - will never eat any other brand.

    If you've got young kids, baby wipes: Test them all personally, some of them are absolutely horrible and give the ringer-stinger from hell. It's not always the big name brands that are good.

    Beer: Never accept the inferior substitute called lager unless the temperature is over 30°c. Never drink from bottles if draft is available. Never drink from cans if bottles are available.

    Photographic equipment: Stop kidding yourselves about smartphone picture quality. Get a dedicated camera from a reputable company.

    Umm, interesting, because Branston Beans are far, far better!

    Cars - cheap cars are, well, cheap.

    Cotton buds - the end comes off in your ear and the stem bends on the cheap ones - Johnson's is the brand.

    Deck shoes - Sperry Top-siders - the original and best.

    Baby wipes - no wonder the world is going to hell in a handcart! What's wrong with soap and a flannel?

    Definately Branston over Heinz and for a very good reason too. The Heinz business model is based on buying the cheapest ingredients and selling at the highest price they can; nothing at all to do with quality. The only thing that's better about Heinz is their marketing department.

    Couldn't agree more. The MiL uses Johnsons and they are utter shite. We use Asda own brand and they're brilliant! I'm not even sure how we managed to survive without them before we had a baby. They're just so useful in general!

    Laptops/Computers. The cheap ones normally last a couple years before you have to knock them on the head
    Beer. Excelsior from Lidl tastes just terrible, experience has taught me to just splash out a few more quid for something nice.
    Nights out. If you really don't want to go somewhere. Like really hate the idea of it odds are you won't enjoy it too much
