which is the same Company.

And none of that vomitorious Miracle Whip!

It's even better than the Just Mayo.

The best!

even we poor people will splurge for, Hellmans.

Nothing else will do.

American people can do this by not buying their paper products, which include VANITY FAIR, QUILTED NORTHERN, ANGEL SOFT, SPARKLE, BRAWNEY, MARDI GRAS, AND DIXIE.

I really, really hope that's not a Koch-owned company!

Unfortunately for all of us, most of what Koch makes is buried in other products.

For instance, Koch owns Molex. Molex makes all those little connectors under the hood of your car, in your PC, in the wiring of your house...

I end up with enormous quantities, but at least I don't have to buy from the Kochs.

are a fill to bid order. Most of their Toilet Tissue comes from a Jobbing Plant here in North Las Vegas,and that is for their stores in the Western States. Eastern States will either be one of the Cock Brothers Paper Plants. Private Label Products are a Bid to fill by any Major Manufacturer.

Every item has a Plant Number or Code printed on the Package,hit the Google and you can find out the point of origin.

I’m in PA, does this mean that Giant brand paper products are made at a Koch plant? If so I will pay a little more for a brand that isn’t.

East of the Rockies. Just check for product numbers and if all else fails,call Kirkland 800 number,they love the feed back on any of their Private label items. BTW,they are known for selecting top of the line items that they use for their products.

are ever on my grocery list.

If you see that, it's a Koch Industries product.

Good point

I think I tend to buy other brands anyhow

Gulden mustard, Hellman Real mayonnaise, French Market coffee with chicory, Macintosh apples and computers, cars made with love Subaru. There’s more but that’s the gist.

On my first glorious visit I had both coffees& then
the same 2 hours I had a cup of both.I can see & totally understand a Muffaletta, buy FM coffee?

Cafe Du Monde is, in my opinion, a bit darker roast. I find French Market to be smoother and has more chocolate tones than C D M. It's the same with a pair of Irish Stouts. I like Guinness OK but really like Murphy's stout better. That's only in Ireland. I have never had a really good pint of either in the U.S. The stuff in cans is better draft in bars and pubs. They just don't have the patience or the expertise to pull a good pint.

My guilty pleasure.
Once drawn through the hair, you will never want to brush with anything else.

though I lose them from time to time because the significant women in my life keep making off with them.

But it's an obvious knock-off of a Mason Pearson.

Also Bennetts or Heinz Chili Sauce only for making seafood cocktail sauce.Bennetts is just a bit sweeter, but very very good OMO.

I tried other brands before, but they just weren't as good. When I make my ham'n'cream cheese rolls for every potluck, it matters.

Tissues: Puffs

Toilet paper: Charmin

Kikkoman soy sauce

Downy free and gentle fabric softener

from the Asian market. So good!

THEN I do Temp-tee!

Benjamin-Moore

My buddy was painting his den walls from white to dark red. So he asked me what kind of paint to use

Me: don't use anything but Benjamin Moore

Two days later he calls me in just about tears.

Him: I'm on my fourth coat and it's still not covering!!!

Me: Hmm. did you buy Benjamin Moore ?

Him: no Brad (his boyfriend) didn't want to spend the extra money and he likes Behr so we went to Home Depot.

Me: lol. Click

Benjamin-Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and (before they sold to ICI) Fuller-O’Brien were our go to coatings.

Each of those brands had volume related discounts, and over the years we did enough business with them that we paid about half retail price.

I have been buying Sherwin-Williams top of the line this past year though. It's very nice on painted woodwork. Dries nice and smooth and covers well.

Super Paint was our regular coating, but I also liked using the Cashmere line.

Fuller-O'Brien used to make an acrylic product called "AA Enamel" that brushed out like a sprayed finish; however, the changes to the VOC laws in California made it less friendly under the brush, as with so many other oil and water-based coatings.

I've been retired for 10 years, so I'm really not up to date on the current coatings lines. I understand the SW Emerald line is excellent, but $90 per gallon, retail...?

Their Aura paints are fantastic....

The only real Sichuan chili bean paste.
And the dark red variety.

The MALA MARKET. Either on FB or web.

Great people with a beautiful back story and the best Sichuan ingredients you can find.

😍

Don't waste your time with knock-off brands; they taste like brown-tinged water by comparison.

I've never *looked* for one, but I'm surprised I haven't noticed any copycats.

also A-1 imitations are disgusting.

The cheap knock-offs taste like distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup with "artificial and natural" molasses flavoring, cheap ketchup, maybe a little onion, and used coffee grounds. There's none of that magical peppery fermented fish flavor at all. The can't even manage the soy sauce flavor when soy sauce is a listed ingredient.

I like me some Soup for Sluts ramen



with Only Puke chips




all washed down with some Hot Drink from Urinal.

There is nothing else that comes close to Reynolds Wrap. Store brands are just terrible!

Also, I only buy Saran Wrap for plastic wrap and Cool Whip brand instead of generic nondairy whipped topping.

Shall we get into the peanut butter wars?? Only JIF for me!

Other brands of play dough or even home made kinds are good, but that smell takes me back to childhood!

Doesn't stain the carpet, doesn't dry out into little crumbs that are impossible to vacuum out so long as you store it in a zip-lock bag and preferably in the fridge.

Recipe:
1 cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup salt
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
Food coloring

Mix all the ingredients in a non-stick pan and heat over medium heat, stirring regularly, until it becomes Playdough, which will take about three minutes.

I got this recipe from the pre-school my son attended, and there are various ones on the internet. I don't believe the no-cook ones are as good, but I never tried them. Once you take it out of the pan it cools down in less than five minutes.

When my son was young and friends would come over to play, I'd often ask them their favorite color and then make a batch or two of the playdough for them to play with. One great thing is that you can make colors the commercial stuff doesn't come in.

It doesn't have that smell, of course, which I recall from my own childhood.

I have no interest in the company. Don't know anyone in the country. I buy the produt at a local grocery and just love it.

Tried store brand too many times and certain recipes just don't cook correctly.

Sugar is kinda a strange business in that there isn't a tremendous amount of competition.

I buy basics: Dry beans, rice, potatoes, flour, corn meal, fresh local veggies in season, generic frozen veggies, all un-branded and bought in bulk quantities.

I don't use paper towels because washable bar towels are more environmentally responsible.

I don't buy mayo of any kind because I'm vegan and mayo clogs your arteries.

As for mustard, I buy generic dijon.

Kidding Binkie

Just kidding.

Even my non-veg wife and kids will only use the vegan version now.

Excellent for my baking needs.

My son attended Culinary School in Vermont...He got to interact/ cook etc with the company...

Montpelier...I felt s kinship with King Arthur Flour long before he choose that school...We always used King Arthur...still do... making No Knead bread with it today.😇

I can do generic most food groups but not mayo!!

only philadelphia brand.

Turbo Racing Team storybook. I think it may even be endorsed by Floyd R. himself!!!

If I want them to work/last I buy duracell

Not everything is in stock.

anything else might as well be candle wax. Other than that, I'm very flexible, especially if I can save some money.

It's the only margarine I buy, and I'll go to 10 different stores until I find it:

Not particularly good or healthy, but better than an off brand.

For our younger Loungers:

Best Maid, be sure to get Polish style. These have just the right amount of hot, always crunchy. Also branded as Del Dixie, same company.

[link:?v=1361479343|

They are the best as far as I am concerned.

Best food mayo. Cheerios. Kellogs raisin bran. Cheetos. Cheese-its, goldfish, newmans own spaghetti sauce (Sockarooni),progresso soups, pica pica hot sauce, Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk. Rossetta ravioli, banquet pot pies. Aquastar frozen shrimp products, Kelloggs pop tarts, the Kind granola bars, guerrero tortillas, lea and perrins Worcestershire sauce, sweet baby rays bbq sauce, Stubbs hot wing sauce, dawn dish detzrgent. O cello sponges.

On forever.

..credit card before they got here(because the web site looked flakey). If they were real I was gonna pay for them but they STINK and they checked out on 3 other indicators they are counterfeit. I asked them if they were real, and they assured me they were. They came with no paperwork and the return address was in Chinese ( btw all real UGGS are made in China)....so I'm wearing them as slippers, trying to air them out and wondering if I'm gonna be struck down by lightning cuz I have not paid for them

Nothing else tastes the same.

Condoms.

Nothing else tastes quite like it

Except - must be Heinz ketchup
All other store brand sodas are fine except cola MUST be Coke.
No store brand cat food - must be Fancy Feast - not my decision here.

If know the stuff is terrible for us humans but there is nothing better with hot buttered popcorn or after mowing lawn in the heat of the summer.

Other than that not too picky but if the price is right I prefer Bush's beans to most store brands.
