Are there any products you use solely because your parents did?

No, none that I can think of. My parents were strangely loyal to Plymouth cars. I’ve thankfully never owned one of those!

I use Purex to clean my clothes in the laundry since my late parents used Purex.

Yes, there is. My Dad grew tomatoes for Campbell Soup, when they were in Canada. As a result whenever any of us were hospitalized, he would ask at the nursing station what we'd eaten that day, and usually there was soup for at least 1 meal, he would then proceed to ask if it was Campbell's Soup. Its too bad that Campbell's didn't bat an eyelash when they closed the door to the tomato processing plant which fed many many families in our region. I just don't like their chicken soup, or their broth, it is too salty and I buy the President's Choice brand.

When my parents got to NYC they had to be reprogrammed in food, So mom had a list of brand names whe was told you could trust and use, Now I buy Great Value because it saves me money from Walmart,

My grandfather, my father and two of my uncles all worked for Proctor & Gamble so all we had in our house was products made by P&G. To this day I still buy mostly P&G products.

I only have Birdseye frozen petit pois …I have tried other brands , as The Mister points out they are cheaper. But they are also not as nice. Maybe since it’s what my Moms always had I have just grown so used to the taste I don’t like others. The same with Heinz baked beans and soups….

I use Bounce dryer sheets, and my Mom did.

I used to when I moved out of my parents' place. Their brands were familiar so it was easy to stick with them. I still use a few things that my mom gets: Lawry's lemon pepper, Palmolive dish soap. I'd still be using the Kirkland Signature powdered laundry detergent, but that was discontinued. And... that's really about it. Budget constraints made me choose generics over the name brands she bought in a lot of cases. In a lot of cases I just decided to try other options and found something that worked better for me than the brand she always got.

My parents used different brands and they are not available now. I use different brands.

Not that I can think of.

I think my grandma (who raised me) used All most of the time. But I remember it was usually whatever was cheaper. I am an off brand person most of the time, but I will not get off brand soda unless I absoloutely have to.

Some food products like bumble bee tuna, Heinz ketchup and Hellman's mayo are staples I use. With the economic conditions I have been forced to substitute sometimes and wait for them to be put on sale.

Definitely my body cream.i share theirs with me

Yes, they have been using Purefoods corned beef for many years. It’s the brand of corned beef I used to eat growing up, and I still use it to this day.

For frozen food like bacon and hotdogs, we only eat PUrefoods because it was the brand our parents trusted. And our tastes buds only like those from Purefoods. I remember back in the 90s my mom used only this particular brand of soap and that's what we used until it was no longer in the market. I tried googling for it but it's non existent as if we were the only family using that kind of brand. Sounded like Moncler or Montclair.

None that I can think of.

No. Mom loved Charmin TP. I can't stand it! The older I got the more I realized how much Mom relied on food stuff like Bisquick. I've never used that product.

I have other habits I've picked up from my Mum but I'm not loyal to any particular brands.
