Grocery brands you just love!

Since Blue Bell love is enough to inspire 4 pages I thought I'd see what other amazing stuff I may not have discovered. Off the top of my head we are also big fans of Rhodes cinnamon rolls (the ones that have to raise overnight) and The Works toilet bowl cleaner. What about you?

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Wegmans "Food You Feel Good About" makes a really awesome frozen chickpea "burger."

 

[lakoda]

Cool idea for a thread! I also love Rhodes but have only tried the rolls, one of my favorites at Thanksgiving

Other than that - Spot Shot for cleaning carpet stains...that stuff is amazing! Oh, and I recently discovered Alexia frozen potato wedges, so easy and super yummy, they aren't very budget friendly but I think they are worth every penny. I can't make potato wedges taste this good!

Last week, I tried Ore-Ida Steam and Mash for the first time, and they were wonderful!

With our busy schedules, it's always hard to plan when we're going to be able to make a full dinner.. and I always tried to keep potatoes on hand, but they always seem to go bad before I got a chance to use them up.

With the Ore-Ida, it can sit in the freezer till we need it, and they taste just like homemade potatoes (imo)... and best part of all, they only take about 1/3 of the time to make than old-fashioned mashed potatoes.

There are only 2 products that I am loyal to.

The 1st is diet coke, horrible I know but I can't live without it. I always tell my husband that I understand how hard it must be to quit smoking because I can't give up something as simple as a diet coke.

And the second is Spray-n-Wash with Resolve. It gets out any and every stain that has ever made it's way into my laundry basket. I've tried others and they just do not compare.

I tried Bar Keepers Friend for the first time and I let something boil over on our glass top stove when it was new probably 5 years ago and could never get it out until BKF. I think I will be cleaning everything with it this weekend!

Due to dietary changes, I made the switch a few months back to using natural peanut butter. Maranatha brand is the BEST! I hate when it's not on sale and I have to use Smuckers natural, though it's good too. I also don't eat any breakfast cereal other than Honey Bunches of Oats, preferably the kind with cinnamon or pecan clusters.

 

[mrsklamc]

I used to love Honey Bunches of Oats but now I get the "Just Bunches!" --it's great in yogurt.

I eat natural peanut butter as well- I don't think we have Maranatha brand here though. Skippy and Planters have both been fine.

 

[momof1princess]

naturally more peanut butter. it's a natural brand that you have to stir and then keep in the fridge. it also contains egg whites, flax seed oil and flax seeds. it's DELICIOUS.

DH drinks either mr. pibb or dr. pepper...nothing else. well, except milk and water. he's VERY soft drink loyal.

all free and clear detergent. i have very sensitive skin, and this is the best brand i've found.

i only buy mineral hygienics mineral foundation and blush - it's the only brand i can find that has no talc or bismuth, both of which make my face itch.

 

[cseca]

Morningstar, Edy's slow churned, Skinny Cow, Chex... I haven't found any good replacement for them.

 

[mrsklamc]

I also love Bobbi Brown's foundation stick but not enough to justify the price. Good thing Cover Girl had those $8 coupons Sunday

My kids love the parmesean and garlic wedges. Go to Alexia's website and sign up- they email coupons all the time! I find they are a dollar less at Wal-mart than my Publix.

I have never found better substitutes for:

wholly salsa (this stuff is so unbelievably delicious!)
sweet baby rays bbq
all free and clear detergent (anything else breaks me out )
morningstar farms
fage yogurt (so expensive but the best I've ever had)

 

[MSSANDRA]

Tide. Only one I can think of I am 100% loyal too

 

[swilshire]

Two of the "only this brand will do" items for my family are Kraft Mayo and Blue Bonnet Margarine.

Other than that - Spot Shot for cleaning carpet stains...that stuff is amazing!

LOL! I was going to say Spot Shot. That stuff is amazing. In my old house, I had really light gray carpets and cats. So stains were inevitable. I would just spray it with the Spot Shot and watch the stain disappear before my eyes. It works great for laundry too!

And the only other brands I'm loyal to are Viva paper towels, Dawn dish detergent and Turkey Hill regular iced tea.

 

[charming23]

I love the Alexia Brand as well. My favorite is the sweet potato fries, yummy.

I am also loyal to Purex free and clear laundry detergent. It is the only brand that keeps me from breaking out.

Oooh thanks! That will make it more budget friendly

 

[hineshm]

Heintz ketchup is the only brand me and my family will eat.

 

[Maddies Mama]

I thought of one more - Silk Almond Milk - Love it love it love it. I will use something else if I am out of coupons and it's cheaper, but it's my preferred milk of choice by a long shot.
