Good topic and question. I can't really think of anything that I'm totally loyal to, store or brand. But I have to say that Wal-Mart is the absolute last place I will purchase a music product from because of their whole censorship thing. Even if a CD I want isn't edited in any format, I won't buy it from Wal-Mart because I don't think that editing out the curse words does any good for kids.
The only thing that comes to mind is Nintendo back in the day. I couldn't stand Sony when the crap hit the fan, but now I just like the best games.
Bread - Mrs. Baird's Pizza - Pizza Hut Shoes - Nike Mustard - French's And of course...Gas - Shell Off the top of my head.....
Budweiser and Michelob (and their lighter constituents) Adidas shoes Coke, Sprite, and in extreme cases, Dr. Pepper GE - but that's because my dad works there. groceries - HEB and I almost always shop at Target and Kohls unless its something I won't be able to get from those two stores.
I like whatever is cheapest, with a few exceptions. Gatorade kicks the ass out of that watery powerade crap. Not to mention Gatorade doesn't use High Fructose Corn Syrup (Fat building sugar) and Powerade does. I love the taste of Gatorade, Hell I'm drinking a 64 ounce X-Factor Lemon Life + Strawberry as I type. Now to correlate that into my other preference, you buy a 64 ounce Gatorade at Wal-Mart for $1.87 when at the corner store you pay nearly the exact price for a 32 ounce.
BLUE BELL ICE CREAM unless I'm out at the MARBLE SLAB everything is just frozen milk Rocket River . . it is truly. . the best ice cream in the country
Fender Guitars and Amplifiers, but only the American made ones. -also- Toyota cars....I've owned three cars in my life, the first two were Toyotas and the current one is a Lexus Orange Juice...Minute Maid Bottled Water....Ozarka Yogurt....Yoplait Cigarettes.....Marlboro (27s) Mexican foods to cook (from grocery store)...Ortega BBQ sauce....Stubbs Brisket Rub....Fiesta Briefs....Fruit of the Loom
You've obviously never been to Hank's Ice Cream on South Main street. Check it out, and I guarantee you will revise the above statement!
I agree that I look first at price, but if I've found something that I like or that works, I'll stick with it. For example: Running Shoes - Adidas Salad Dressing - Kraft no-fat Zesty Italian Soap - Neutrogena Deodorant - Secret (....pH balanced for a woman!!) Toothpaste - Crest and all their variations Ice Cream - Healthy Choice Frozen Dinners - Smart Ones Chips - "WOW" products (I have a steel stomach)
I never thought of stores, but here goes: High end electronics: Fry's Low end electronics: Best Buy Groceries: Wal-Mart (used to be HEB, but Walmart is closer and cheaper) Shoes: Used to be Just for Feet, now I gotta find something new Gas: Diamond Shamrock (just for the price and proximity)
Forgot one: Men's Suits - Jos A. Bank. For some reason, I just like their suits, and I don't buy suits anywhere else.
Trucks - Ford Dress shoes - Johnston & Murphy Shaving gel - Edge Gasoline - Shell Whiskey - Crown Royal or Jack Daniels
Either I have a really bad mind or that is an obscure way of telling everyone that you smoke crack... Which is it??
