Is it better or just what I'm used to? Anyway, I just noticed that I have generic scrubby kitchen sponges and Safeway brand vinegar and mop pad things for cleaning. I bought Safeway brand toothbrushes for travel. Hmm, maybe if I'm not eating it, I don't care so much? shiva, I am with you on the dishwasher loading thing. I am the only one in the house who knows the RIGHT way to load it

Cleaning products vary depending on what's on special. Washing powder is always Bold because it doesn't bring me out in a rash DH is *very* fussy about cereal and it has to be name brand, usually Shreddies

The one thing I wont compromise on is my Alfredo sauce packets by Western Family- I get those mailed to me from Utah as I LOVE them, they usually are no worse than 3 for a buck (compared to the 1.67 each here and taste awful) I also get my Circus Animals mailed out here because they arn't carried anywhere in Orlando...

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Ketchup is one that I can go store brand with. There is a taste difference between Heinz and Hunts and store brands, but it's one of those food items I'm really not picky about. Probably because I don't tend to use a lot of ketchup.

Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 As far as BBQ sauce, the only thing the DF (I'm sick of writing fiance) will eat is Sweet Baby Ray's. He has a coronary if we're out. I agree with Best Foods. Nothing beats a Wonder Bread, Best Foods, and Kraft Cheese sandwich.
