What foods have you found that you like in generics? For example, I can't stand the Wheat Thins in generic, but I love mayonnaise in generic.

I like Fry's cokes and pop tarts, their water is good too. Haha
I like the great value brand (walmart) in just about everything. I do good with generic products. I need my ocean spray juice though!

Almost everything I buy is generic. I do buy Miracle Whip, Ivory soap, Tresseme shampoo and conditioner and Crest toothpaste. Otherwise almost everything is generic (unless the name brand is on sale cheaper)

I have to have Miracle Whip, Heinz ketchup, Prego, and Crest toothpaste. Most places I like storebrand cheese but not at Aldi's. Other than that it's primarily generic for us.

we use a lot of generic.... actually in a lot of cases the generic tastes better than the name brand to us

We buy most everything in generic form. But I can't stand the Great Value sliced cheese, I have to have Kraft in that.

Generics: I like Shop Rite or Pathmark's pretzels and their chicken broths. And I'll but their ground turkey too. Other than than, I normally buy brand names b/c with double or triple coupons, it really is a deal for us!

Love generics except for shampoo/conditioner and toothpaste (gotta have good hair!!). Very few other items are name brand unless it is less $$$. Oh, and I agree with the above poster on Wheat Thins!
