I was reading an article this morning about what we grocery shoppers should buy generically – not the brand name stuff, but the cheaper, store brand, no name, white label products.
Among the items they suggested were sugar, flour, O.J., canned beans and vegetables, cereal, mustard, mayo , milk, cheese, frozen fruits and veg, pasta , rice and oatmeal.
Did you notice they included the condiments mayo and mustard but didn’t mention ketchup? That’s because people have strong opinions on their ketchup. Me? Not a big fan of the stuff. I’ll take no name or whatever is cheapest every time.
But there is one thing I have to have the brand name version, and it’s a specific brand name. Cottage cheese. It has to be Baxter’s. Honestly, I cannot eat any of the store brands or even any of the competing brands of cottage cheese. It’s the consistency of the stuff, not the taste.
Besides ketchup, do you have any preferences for a specific brand name?
