Shoppers can save a lot of money buying generic brands.But some products are worth every penny.A recent Reddit thread asked which items are worth shelling out for.We selected some of our favorite responses.1. Shoes."When I was a kid, my mom would always buy the Wal-Mart/KMart/Payless shoes that were no-name brand and my feet hurt all the time," writes IWannaBeAlone. "I'd also destroy them in the space of a month."Everything changed when the author finally got a pair of Reeboks."I was amazed. My feet didn't hurt all the time! They lasted forever!" the happy shoe owner writes.2. Oreos."No off-brand Oreos compare to the real thing," writes cmarman.3. Q-tips."It's the amount of cotton on the tip, which makes it softer," writes ABirdOfParadise. "Some off brands are just sticks with a thread on the end, I swear."4. SpaghettiO's."Store brand versions are so terrible," writes angiehawkeye.5. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups."The generic brands can never get the peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio right," writes bpxrain.6. Crayola crayons."Crayola is glorious," writes kelseykeefe. "Strong colors that are even and layer nicely for value'and don't break on a whim.7. Legos."Someone who I blacked out from my memory got me Mega-Blocks once and I resented them until adulthood," writes McLarenF1God. "I never once played with them, nor do I recall when I last saw them."8. Leatherman."When your generic tool breaks I will let you use my leathermen to fix it, is what I tell my friends," rottinguy writes.9. Heinz ketchup."Nothing else will do," writes Lettuce617.10.

Contact solution."I bought the generic brand once and I will never buy anything but Opti-Free from now on," writes sandykumquat.14. Cheese."I'm very unfussy and can usually always deal with the knock-off brand, even if it's noticeably worse, but cheap cheese is never ever worth it," writes apostrotastrophe.15.
