I like regional brands, too .. Faygo .. Vernor's .. oh yeah! I also enjoy generic chips (especially grocery store brand knock-off Doritos and cheese puffs) over most regular brands. Fake versions of cereal rule, too. As for things I won't go cheap on: Salsa (Newman's Own is the best) Advil (other meds, I don't care) Man, I loves me some off-brand soda.
