That's interesting.

We in the southeast are fortunate to have Publix grocery stores.

Every Publix Premium branded item that I have tried, without exception, has been extremely high quality, at lower cost than the nationally known brands.

Several came to mind fairly quickly...

Listerine Ultraclean Arctic Mint - Equate brand just didn't cut it
Oroweat Health Nut Bread - has to be THAT bread for my turkey/swiss sammiches
Post Honey Bunches of Oats w/Almonds - Kroger brand didn't pass muster (oddly, though, I like Kroger brand Cocoa Krispies)
Angel Soft Toilet Paper - is there anything else?
Hill's Science Diet for the kittehs - generic brands have too much crap added in

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

If I'm buying from the store instead of homemade it's Frank's kraut.

Lakeside's - Horseradish sauces/ prepared horseradish/ mustards

About the only snack we buy from the store on a semi-regular basis is pretzels. We have settled on Dot's.

Some of our other preferences are repeat mentions:

Heinz - ketchup
La Preferida - Refried Beans

Same here. Heinz is the ONLY ketchup.
