Used to be Heinz but now they've replaced tomato with more brown sugar or something so it tastes bland.

VH soy sauce over store brand. Has to be. VH is king, store brand is so bad it doesn't even count as soy sauce, and I'm a broke dude who buys store brand everything possible. Also mini-wheats, store brand mini wheats are terrible. Other store brand cereals are good but with mini-wheats they dropped the ball.
Heinz ketchup, Hellman’s Mayonnaise, Coca Cola, Western Digital hard drives back when platters were a thing.
I always preferred Seagate spinning steel over Western Digital. I've had some WD drives fail horribly, unexpectedly and very prematurely on me. My PC today still has some Seagate HDDs in it that are approaching 15 years of age.
Tech products. It's not worth the risk of getting some Chinese spying crap. Even chargers and cables have the risk of damaging your hardware.
Hair and skincare, especially since it's not even more expensive if I buy from a local store that sells those products in bulk.
I usually actually prefer the local knockoffs, it's usually better and uses locally sourced ingredients. Like soft drinks from the US taste sickeningly sweet and I really don't like them but there are plenty of locally made soft drinks that are great.
Peanut butter. Generic peanut butter is downright nasty. Skippy or Jiff for me.
