Also, not really a brand, but buy all your cargo securing supplies from Trailines on Windisch Rd. Much larger selection and half the price of the truck stops.

I'm blessed with a small backside too, so whenever I lose a few pounds, I have to wear a belt or else I can't keep my pants up. I need to get some more casual belts.
As far as jeans go, as a guy I don't think you can go wrong with a good pair of levis. Every pair I get lasts for years.

Forgot: "Williams Lectric Shave Pre-Shave Conditioner"
I use an electric shaver, and JEEZ, this stuff is a godsend. If you use an electric shaver and haven't tried it, I urge you to do so.
Biore facial scrub/cleanser
Head and Shoulders shampoo
Old Spice Body Wash (although I'm not above jacking some of my sister's girly body wash if I'm at home and in a pinch!! Speaking of which: how many bottles of "ingredients" do you females here on RZ have in your bathtub/shower?!?! I swear, no exaggeration, that my sister has at least 25!!!!)

Kiehl's
Three letters come to mind...TMI
Let's see, I've had three pairs of Birkenstocks in 25+ years. (And since they let me wear them at work, that's about all I wear, unless I'm on the diamond or a dirt bike)
Dark chocolate
Fred Meyer department store soda (Citrus Drop for me, Dr. K for everyone else)
For larger items I'll look on craigslist before darkening the door of any retail store. (I will swing by Goodwill during lunch at least once a month, though. I just picked up some "roller" luggage for our Disneyland trip next month) For smaller items/electronics? eBay or amazon
Microsoft/Windows/PCs
Verizon wireless
Limewire (download.com)
Reds/Vikings/Blazers/UO Ducks since the early '70s
Mrs. gm since '86
Dogs yes, cats no
I'm partial to my Hammond/Suzuki XK-2 keyboard and Motion Sound KBR-M amp, of course if a real B-3 ever dropped in my lap I wouldn't pass up the challenge...

Never overlook the obvious
I should add eBay.
I've bought probably a couple hundred items off eBay over the last 8 years or so and have NEVER not received what I paid for.
Exercise due diligence on eBay and your chances of being "taken" are slim to nil. (KNOCK ON WOOD)
This is a fun thread! I'm surprised at how many guitarists there are here -
Also, the Bose stereo thing is shocking to me. (Bose = overpriced cheap gear from a company that does great marketing IMO)
My list:
(leaving out musical equipment that I endorse)
organic chicken and grain fed beef
rolex (mine is a '59 Explorer watch. veru light and no batteries. It's acoustic!)
Nokia phones
Gaggia espresso machines
Diesel jeans - they hold their shape for years. Levis and the others don't do that for me.
I'll try to think of more-

Nice call. BTW, I started using a Braun shaver this year and there's no way the skin on my neck will ever let me go back to using a Norelco rotary
Never overlook the obvious
I think this is an interesting thread too. I'm amazed at some of the brand loyalties. I usually don't buy things just because of their brand, but it can simplify the process if you always know what you're getting and don't need to make decisions over-and-over.
I always thought Bose speakers sounded better to me, but my hearing is not all that great. (there's an artillery simulator story, but not here) What brands of speakers do you find to generally be the best? I trust your ears way more than mine.
So here's my list:
Tide laundry detergent
Crest toothpaste
Dawn dishwashing liquid
(See, I still send money home.)
Tone soap
RC Cola
Aussie shampoo & conditioner
Cincinnati sports teams
and recently MBT shoes.
5 of my last 7 cars were Toyotas, but that's not completely loyal is it?
Everything else I have my favorites, but I still try the other brands from time to time.
