What Brand Name Foods Are A Must-Have? IE: No Store/Generic Brands Will Work For You?

I thought of another one: Mullen's Applesauce.

Generic applesauce is runny and sucks. Mullen's is chunky and tastes like apple pie.

On the positive side, HEB brand versions are usually pretty damn good and most of them seemed to be made in Texas, which we like.

We actually prefer many of the H-E-B/Hill Country Fare branded products over name brands.

Agree 100%, now if they'll just start building them in DFW I'd be much happier.

I note that a few of you have posted this brand. A couple years ago we discovered La Preferida Refried Beans and have come to “prefer” that brand. You folks might try a can if you see them.

Prior to your post, two members mentioned Rosarita Refried Beans. I mentioned Rosarita Black Beans. All other brands of black beans that I know of have too much liquid, and lack the wonderful seasoning.
