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.

Davines shampoo

Braun S9 Pro electric razor

Cola Zero / Pepsi Max (generic alternatives rarely have sugarless options anyway)

Lipton probably but I can let it slip sometimes. Many alternatives just don't taste right, but they are at least drinkable.

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.
