We buy branded all the time as most taste/perform the same and are much better value for money, only exceptions are: Branston Pickle, Muller Yoghurt, Warburtons Seeded Batch Loaf and also their Crumpets, Felix Cat Food in jelly, Bold Liquitabs and of course Fairy Washing Up Liquid.
What is it about the Felix in Jelly that you particularly enjoy?:p Surely the cat could cope with something else? Or can you not do what the guy did in the adverts and swap the laels around so the moggy never new??
Well done on such a big saving. i think from that result there is proof you don't need to buy branded goods!

Norwegian Formula Hand Cream lasts for ages & doesn't irritate our skin.
Lurrrrve MrT value vanilla ice cream in the 2lt tub, & also their value strawberry ice cream sauce.
Can't think of anything else that is brand-specific, apart from alcohol of course & then you'd have to ask the offspring cuz I don't have a favourite.....I rarely drink booze full stop, so it very much depends on my mood at the time.
Body shop body butter is a bit expensive but it lasts ages and I use it all over, its good for stopping new shoes giving you blisters, and for very dry hands. My Dad used to use Norwegian formula and you are right from what i remember you dont need to use a lot either.
