So here I sit, watching Clemens vs. Prior while eating a bowl of Healthy Choice ice cream and this thought pops into my mind...

"Do I only eat Healthy Choice ice cream?"

I looked at my bowl and realized there was only one type of ice cream I eat... Healthy Choice. I refuse to eat any other ice cream, just some variation of Healthy Choice (Cookies 'N Cream, Fudge Brownie, Caramel Sundae, etc.)

So I started looking around my apartment, searching out whether I have a particular "brand" for any other items I purchase, where I'll only buy that brand over and over and no other...

My results:

Deoderant - Brut Deoderant+Anti Perspirant Spray
Frozen Pizzas and Frozen Dinners - Smart Ones
Running Shoes - New Balance
Jeans - Structure (Express for Men now, I guess)
Peanut Butter - Reduced Fat Peter Pan Crunchy
Electronics - Sony (for the most part)
Video Games - EA Sports

Usually price will take precedent over brand, but in these few instances, I will spend more $$ if need be.

Hmmmm. Usually the price is most important, or I just have one thing I like and stick to it.

In terms of brands -

only buy Reebok shoes and athletic bags (not sure why; it's not like they gave me a contract )

prefer Gatorade over Powerade (tastes better).

I actually didn't think about stores. I like to try to patronize local (particularly neighborhood) stores as much as possible. When I do buy actual CD's as opposed to getting them from iTunes, it is pretty much always Cactus or All Records unless someone gave me a gift certificate.

Other than that, I'm a big fan of Target.
