Pepsi (never, ever, ever Coke)
Birkenstocks
Luvs
Anything else, I buy what’s on sale/cheapest
Heinz (for Ketchup)
Nike (for running shoes - my hubby bought a pair of New Balance for me but I’m not counting those because I didn’t buy them)
Pampers (for diapers)
Victoria’s Secret (for underwear)
Cetaphil (for face cleanser and moisturizer)
Pellegrino (for sparkling water)
That’s all I can think of at the moment although I’m sure there are more.

And how about some brand dis-loyalties? In other words, brands I used to like but have come to dislike and avoid when possible:
Dell - dude, you’re getting a dud!
HP - lay off four of my friends and give the CEO a multi-million dollar bonus all in the same week?
Pacific Bell - indifferent broadband served up by clueless script-readers
Verizon - Hello? Can you hear me now? No? Hello?! Hello? Are you still there?
Iomega - Zip THIS!
Gibson
Boss

Q-Tips
Ragu
Levi’s 501 jeans

Skippy PB, all the way. I alternate between chunky and smooth. Jif is crap, and Peter Pan seems sugary to me.

[ol][li]Tab - It’s more an addiction than a loyalty, shared by several 1000 nationwide[/li][li]Zest - Ever since the day I saw the Zestfully Clean commercial with the glass showerdoor scum on it and how its “sheathing action” didn’t leave a film on your skin[/li][li]Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Badages - Those other brands suck, and because Q-Tips were already mentioned by Bafaa[/li][li]Which reminds me…Old Spice - I don’t wear after shave, but I do like to put it on the end of my Q-Tip swabs and clean my ears with it[/li][li]Budweiser - But when there’s a Bavarian Weissbeir to be had, infidelity gets the best of me[/li][li]Progresso Soups - No it isn’t homemade, but with the exception of Tomato Rice, Campbell’s or Chunk can’t hold a match to them [/li][li]Master’s Choice Line Caught Tuna in Olive Oil - Comes out of the can like a solid piece of white steak, no gray or red meat or those disgusting black things like all the other brands[/li][li]Gilette Sensor - I even tried the Mach 3 that came free in the mail, but it ripped me to shreds.[/li][li]Tide Liquid - It costs a few $ more, but it works better[/li][/ol]Wait a second, why am I even listing these? I’m sure they’re available (for a fee) from my local supermarket; who requires you to use a shoppers card so they can track my loyalties on a huge database.
Non-Supermarket Items[list=a][li]Levis - Only cuz they have the cut that fits best and are more easily available in my length.[/li][li]Durex - Only cuz they run a few $ less than Trojans[/li][li]Harmon Kardon Speakers - And I’m not even a bass head[/li][li]Hilfiger ribbed boxer briefs - They hold up better[/li][/list]

It might be worth mentioned that I get many veggies from the farmer’s market and a co-op, shop at dollar stores all the time, and rarely do “middle” food - it’s either cooked from scratch, from a nice restaurant, or the worst kind of junk food. No Progresso soups or Healthy Choice frozen food for me.
