I forgot to add, I can't do cheap coffee. I prefer Dunkin Donuts coffee and buy when they do the 2 lbs for $12, but when I can't get it at that price it has to be Eight O'clock brand. DH would insight riots if I didn't have decent coffee.

My husband is more of a food snob than I am. It has to be Hellmann's mayonaise! It's so expensive but he has to have it. We love Kraft macaroni and cheese. My middle son has to have Kraft barbeque sauce original only. I like Always or Stayfree womanly pads. Ruffles potatoe chips.

-Speedstick 24/7 Gel deoderant for DH - allergic to everything else

To whoever wrote:
Parmesan cheese must be Kraft.

Go buy a wedge of REAL parmesan cheese from the store. Grate it yourself as needed by hand or in a food processor. You can keep the grated cheese in a zip bag in the freezer. You will NEVER go back to Kraft Sawdust in the green can!

Calimari is right. I keep a wedge of Parmesan cheese in my fridge. There is no name brand but the real deal is the only way. I also have to have real cheese slices like Cracker Barrel or Sargento sharp cheddar. My kids will not eat "cheese food" they call it the rubber cheese
