WFMW - Aveeno and All Free and Clear

In the quest to save money on our grocery/household budget most of my brand loyalty has been slowly beat out of me. I still have brand preference, but will devotedly shop the sales. except for TWO brands.

Miss Pear has eczema. And allergies. There is only one brand of baby/child skin care product that I can daily without a problem, and that is Aveeno. They even have an Eczema Care Line! They are kind enough to still issue coupons even though their brand is well established, and there are good sales at least once a season to stock up with. If that was not enough to delight me, theirs is the only suntan lotion that does not make me feel icky the whole time I am wearing it, it soaks in just like a good lotion, and works wonderfully! Is it more expensive, yes! Is it worth every penny, ABSOLUTELY! Aveeno has helped cure the worst cases of eczema and dry skin plus gently cleans our daughter without drying out her skin and then protects us from the sun without making us feel like we need an immediate shower (was that suntan lotion or just moisturizer?)

I am also incredibly loyal to All Free and Clear. Again, this is the only product I can use on our clothes without my daughter getting eczema. Our pediatrician said that most children do not need the special baby detergent, just rinse twice. But if your child has eczema, sensitive skin, or either runs in the family, then it is worth getting this. Our clothes always smell very clean, but not fragranced, something we love, and it is just a great all around detergent! All Free and Clear is also nice enough to issue coupons and sponsor sales regularly, so even on a tight budget this is affordable! Plus they have the small and mighty formula - extra concentrated so that you can buy a smaller bottle and it will go 3x as far, so you are being good the environment as well!

I could not do without Aveeno or All Free and Clear because both Work for me!

P.S. I am not sure if it is brand loyalty, probably, but there is a Supermarket Savings 101 class that I cannot say enough about or recommend highly enough - I blogged about it here and here. Money very well spent that you will easily earn back in savings!
