Off Brand? Not always better

I've mentioned in the past that No Name or Off Brands are usually as good as the name brand. That is usually true, however here is one good reason to try the stuff you buy and don't just stockpile stuff you've never used. Case in point, Life Brand Antibacterial wipes that I mentioned in the past might be a good cheaper alternative to real wet ones. From experience I can now tell you that you are better off paying the extra money for the brand name Wet Ones. I ran out of the name brand Wet Ones (I know not good prepping of me) so I went and bought a couple containers of the Life Brand wet wipes from Shoppers Drug Mart. I admit I much prefer the name brand on this one! The Life Brand is thinner and clumps up while you wipe your face and don't hold their shape for quality cleansing.

In past posts I've mentioned how Wet Ones can take the place of showering for a short term situation where you might want to conserve your water supply. Since they kill bacteria and clean you up nicely they work excellent but the Life Brand knock offs are not nearly as good, so be advised. Sometimes you do get what you pay for!
