The Great Debate: Name-brand or Not?


So, as many or you know...I'm a first time mommy and I was determined to settle for nothing less than the best for my baby girl no matter the cost. After spending tons of money on diapers, wipes, formula, meds, etc...I started looking thru my receipts and almost fainted!! The money I was spending on her everyday essentials was becoming ridiculous because it had to be Pampers, Tylonal, Similac and Huggies until I realized spending less doesn't mean sacrificing!!

I started researching the ingredients and comparing name brand to store brands and found there really isn't much of a difference...but one brand stuck out the most, Target's Up&Up is awesome! Now, my sweet Fraser is an Up&Up baby and I'm definitely and Up&Up mommy with some extra dough in my bank account. She tolerates the Up&Up formula better than Similac and since formula is regulated by the FDA...there's no cause for alarm. I love their diapers better bc they hold her "bodily function aftermath" better and they're not cut as small as Pampers...poor baby got her mommy's thighs so she needs the breathing room! 

Now, I understand that some babies have allergies and have to be on special formula and it doesn't come in a generic but if you're little one doesn't require that extra TLC, take the Up&Up challenge...you won't be disappointed! I have even switched my daily household items from name brand to Up&Up...out of all the things I've tried do far, the Up&Up is just as good, if not better and A LOT cheaper!! 

So from one sceptic to another...make the switch and see for yourself!!! There's only a few things that have to be name brand to me and those are: 
Mayonnaise, Soda, Peanut Butter and Toilet Paper, other than that
Up&Up all the way!!!
