The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 I buy mostly store brand products. What products do you have to have name brand on, that you won't skimp for store brand. Conversley, any store brands where you actually prefer the knockoff over the "real thing?" I have to have name brand Cola. Prefer Coke, but Pepsi will do. Haven't found a store brand cola that's any good. Boxed Mac and Cheese. Has to be Kraft. Perfect amount of cheese flavor. Anything else is too much cheese, or not enough. HEB, a Texas supermarket chain, has their own line of salsa that is worlds better than any brand I've ever actually heard of. Wegman's, Diet Wedge (Squirt knockoff), tastes better than the real thin.
RaoulDuke79 Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Heinz Ketchup, Frenches mustard (for regular yellow mustard), Jif peanut butter.
The Poojer Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Beer for me....i refuse to drink store brand beer 1 1
plenzmd1 Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Hellmans..never Dukes Colemans Dry Mustard Fage PLain Geek Yogurt Morton Kosher Salt (last two boxes the grain was off though..anyone else notice that?) El Yucateco Salsa Picante de Chile Habanero ( the Green hot sauce) La Costena Chipolte in Adobo
Roundybout Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Always Claritan never the store brand. I don't know if it is a placebo thing but I feel that the real stuff works way faster and way better. 1

1billsnut Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Ketchup, Qtips, and toilet paper. I can live with the rest
Fadingpain Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I have noticed store brand glass cleaner is lousy compared to actual "Windex" and so I always get Windex. The knockoff stuff smears and smudges. Another is Dove bars of soap; store brand stuff is not right. 2 hours ago, /dev/null said: soylent green Yeah, I have noticed the store brand stuff just doesn't taste human enough. 1
Gugny Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 For years, I would not budge on three things: Hellman's, Heinz and Skippy. But my son, knowing I was adamant about these things, challenged me to buy store-brand mayo, ketchup and peanut butter (I've raised him to be a cheap ass, like me). I did it. I tried them. I eventually caved on the ketchup, but I still require Hellman's and Skippy. Other than that, I'm all about store brands.
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Morton Salt. "When it rains it pours." Not just table salt. Same with the water softener salt. Has to be Morton in pellet (pellet a must) form. Never been anything else besides Morton in my machines. I don't want a "salt bridge" or jazz the machine up. It's what the manufacturer recommends, it is what I will use. Usually, I claim BS on the manufacturer only warnings... But in this case, I adhere. For instance, a Honda engine doesn't need genuine Honda oil, but if my softener recommends Morton, I will use Morton Salt. Too many variables with different salt and machines... Like purity, design of the valve head, venturi valve, etc...

Make sandwiches with it all the time, love it.

Bought some store brand once, and gave him a blind taste test. Figured it out instantly.
CommonCents Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Name Brand Condiments are a must. An obvious but often missed necessity for cookout season is good rolls!!! Don’t waste your time making up some fresh burgers and buying quality sausages and then wrap it in cheap rolls!

Morton changed their process and now the kosher is ground almost as fine as table salt.... But I guess if you use table salt, it's hard to beat.
