I don't mind buying generic brands to save a buck or two. President's choice isn't that much cheaper than the name brands. But yeah, I don't think i'd buy name brand food even if I had a lot of money. I've become very frugal in the past two years.

OK

There are two things that I could NEVER go generic on:
1. Coke - the wannabe brands do not even come close *gag*
2. Peanut Butter - it has to be Skippy!

There was a study on no name brand stuff and the winner of best tasting ketchup was safeway brand ketchup. Study shows its better then name brand. BUt i havnt tried myself. As for what id buy the only no name brand shit id buy is stuff like kleenex, toiletpaper etc.. ANything related to food ill pass.

If you have food allergies or specific eating habits, then you pretty much have to depend on certain brand names to cater to your food needs...

Presidents Choice white Chedder Macaroni and cheese is good stuff

somethings really don't metter, if you compare labels you'll find the same ingredients - Presidents choice takes other companies foods and puts their label on it - so it's not really a No Name brand --- I really like some Western Family products and No Name fruit punch is the bees knees

But for some things cheaper ingredients or whatever makes a real difference in taste - I think that something like cheese slices - i am acustomed to the taste of kraft singles in my grilled cheese and when i bought no name stuff to try and save a few bux...it was ucky ucky ucky!!!

When it comes to making lasagna I will NEVER use cheap cheese ever again.

The good brand name cheese is stringy and taste. The cheap cheese comes out hard and dry and tastes like crap.

PresidentsChoice brownie mix rules, and the vanilla and chocolate milkshakes in the little boxes *drools* soooo goood.
Other than that, i have to have KD not "No Name, Macoroni with cheese sauce" its even faker than kraft dinner! BLEH
and i can't use no name razors, shave cream, dishsoap, laundry detergent or deoderant cuz its cheaply made and irritates my skin. everything else is cool tho.

Doritos Nacho chips - the best - just the right amount of crunchiness, saltiness, and cheesiness.
