I love luxury brands, but sometimes I really do find a favorite item at a drugstore or discount chain, so I'm sharing some of those finds with you today! One of my favorite items is a knock-off of what is already a cheaper brand! Wal-mart's Equate body wash is a dupe of Aveeno's body wash.

Is it weird that a positive experience with customer service is such a rarity that I had to mention it? Let me back up...
