What products do you absolutely stand by?

[Royale with Cheese]

Oxi-Clean without a doubt.  It doesn't matter what stain I have, it will get it out.  

 

I washed chapstick by accident and all the oil/balm went all over one of my favorite shirts.  Big oil blotches everywhere.  

I used stain removers and even Dawn....nothing.

 

Then I soaked it in a bucket with Oxi-clean for 3 days.  I just pulled it out and dried it.  No more stains!

Actual Windex window cleaner.

I have always found that cheap no-name stuff leaves smudges and streaks.

I have no product in particular, per say, but this does remind me of a way to pass the time. One debate my wife and another couple like to have is the "Generic or Name Brand" game. I'll say a product and you tell me if you'd buy it generic or would prefer it name brand. So far (since we are cheap and broke) the only item we prefer name brand is Canada Dry Ginger Ale

Nothing else comes close.

It will also clear up psoriasis and poison ivy, among many other uses! 

 

The generic stuff won’t do that! 

 

 

 

....well, if My Big Fat Greek Wedding is to be believed.

Do they still make the good ol ***** with ammonia? I got some of knockoff windex with ammonia at the dollar tree and that stuff will clean anything. 

 

I think my son found a lady he likes on TV, because most days before I turn it on I see lip marks on the screen

Special shout-out to @SDS... Really extends the life of the hot water tank! 😆 🤣

This is the correct answer.

For those of a certain young age: 

 

[BarleyNY]

Moen faucets. They are very well made with brass interior parts and customer service is awesome.
 

Dewalt and Porter Cable power tools are quality.  Certainly worth paying for if you’re going to use them for a long time. 
 

Costco for a lot of stuff.  Lots of great food there.  Their rotisserie chickens are bomb.  Good prices on other quality stuff too - wine/booze, tires, furniture, phones, clothes.  We used to go there every year for winter coats and snow pants for the kids.  I still get clothes there. 

 

Trader Joe’s for cheese, snacks and their medium salsa authentica.

Hydro flask products.

 

They keep cold drinks cold and hot things hot for an absurdly long period of time.

 

When I was living on a tropical island, I’d bring a Hydroflask of ice water to the beach, and after spending all day in the equatorial sun, there would still be ice cubes in it when I left.

 

Ive also never had to replace any of my Hydroflasks. Extremely high quality and durable products.

My ex-wife's last name........she swore by this stuff, despite the $8 price tag. It's good, I'm not going to lie. But pricey.

I have 3. Two growlers and a 32oz. They are amazing.

I would like to add Cascade dishwasher pods to the list.

I used Finish brand for the past 90 washes and those don't do it.

One wash with Cascade and glassware is now clean again. 

I won't go back. Don't make me.

I still can't believe people put up with the garbage operating system from Microsoft, and the world of viruses, malware, etc., and then having to pay people to fight that stuff.
