These Are the Items Bismarck Locals Say You Should ALWAYS Splurge On

Ketchup - Bismarck people love their Heinz Ketchup

Kleenex - Personally, I'm a Puffs kind of gal (with lotion)

Booty Wipes - I didn't get a lot of responses with this one, but it was too funny not to mention. Every guy I know uses Dude Wipes, so I believe it.

Toilet Paper - I 100 percent agree with this; Charmin for the win.

Mac n Cheese - Blue box or bust.

Soda - Bismarck people love their Diet Coke

Ice Cream - Tons of you said this.

Shoes - SO many of you said you will only buy name-brand shoes. I get it, they are more comfortable, but $170 to $200 for a pair of shoes is pretty rough.

Cheese - Kraft singles or bust.
