This is a combined list from my wife and I.
Most of that list is not brand specific.
I think he meant they don't go for genetic brands for those products
doesn't really need to be brand specific... We just don't go for the generic versions of any of these items. Like energizer or duracell, doesn't matter, but cheap ones included with a remote absolutely not. same for tampons. the generic versions all use cardboard, not plastic, so they're painful. toilet paper and paper towels, once again, the generic versions are all bad, none of the name brand ones are bad.
Do you use rechargeable batteries?
I use ikea rechargeable batteries for my Xbox controller and Panasonic or Samsung 18650 batteries for my flashlights. Most stuff I use rechargeables for, but when you’re camping you often want backups that aren’t rechargeable.
I didn't know about IKEA batteries, will check these out.
they're alright.. best thing is how cheap they are lol.
