/likes variety

Yep, just a british black tea blend, but it is, in my not so unbiased opinion, the best of them all.
The reason it costs $$ is the shipping. I've tried to stock up whenever I go back, its hard to keep it in the house because people keep stealing it from me!

I figured it was the shipping. My favorite is an Irish black tea, but I may have to try and find some Punjana at a Global foods store, or order it if I get the rest of my stock down enough.

I've tried to find it in global food stores, to no real avail though. It is SUPER frustrating! Everywhere carries PG Tips though...which is ..ehh..ok. If you find Barry's Tea, that's good too. But Punjana is still my favorite.

Bras

Make-up

Hair ties...If you have long hair, espcially curly, you will understand this one...

Vibrators. A friend of mine purchased a cheap ass vibrator for $12.99, the bitch literally cracked open after two uses.

Furniture. Dorm furniture excluded;)

Ketchup: only Heinz for me

A PROFESSIONAL photographer at your wedding: my sister foolishly skimped on this and she has maybe one good photo from her wedding day. Oy.

Lea & Perrins Worcestshire sauce: no name is a NO!

tampons
alcohol
LAUNDRY DETERGENT (i got dryer sheets for 59 cents when i was on vacation and figured, oh i'm on vacation and they are cheap and i probably won't use all of em nor will take them home... NO THEY SUCKED. i am also allergic to a certain generic laundry detergent that they only sell at my grocery store.)
bandaids

most everything else, i will buy the generic brand. especially, aspirin/over the counter pain meds because they are all the same.

Oh I forgot the all important hair products....I pay big bucks to keep my crazy mane of stupidly natural curls under control. Over the counter 6 dollar a bottle crap just doesn't cut it!!! I can't use anything that isn't sold in a salon....

kchaptergphib 06-05-2007 12:45 AM

that reminds me to add something to my list...

flat irons!

something you get for $14.99 at Walmart will not make your thick, curly hair straight!

haha in my bathroom....

Chi flat iron
Chi silk serum
Chi silk cream
Chi blowdryer
Chi hair spray


....Never go cheap on hair products if you have curly hair, even if all of the above equals to about $300!

Even though it's going to make me sound like a psycho...Ammunition.

I don't get why people insist on buying name brand groceries. I buy a lot of store brand and it really tastes the same. Yes, I have compared.

I won't skimp on tissues. It has to be Puffs, they're the only ones that don't get my nose all red and sore when I have a cold.
