Some of the chains mean better quality (sometimes) and certanly much better prices. I used to love forgetting my toothbrush at home and running out to the local store. 3.00 for a no-name brush tuff as iron. When at home I could buy TWO Reach's or Colgatbrands for the same money. Cheaper and better quality. Hey, I don't mind supporting the "locals" but I'm not rich either.
