Brand shopping habits and you

Canned vegetables and dairy I tend to get whatever is cheapest (except eggs...I tend to splurge on the most expensive, organic, range-free hen eggs I can get my hands on since I do eat quite a bit of eggs raw/various degrees of "undercooked").

+1 for the soysauce comment, but hell, if I really want mayonnaise [none of that Miracle Whip] I just make my own. Sure, it's a bit of work on the arm, but it's good, and I just make a jar at a time and keep it in the fridge.

As for canned vegetables, I tend not to buy them. Aside from not eating a lot of veggies... it all depends on what I'm looking for, really: peas and corn can be frozen, and things like potatoes and carrots I buy fresh.

Milk, on the other hand... I tend to buy the more expensive brands, and it hurts. I drink homo milk [har har.] and that's already more expensive than 2%, 1%, or skim. But then I prefer one of the more expensive brands of milk, simply because I find it tastes better.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This.

That's what I try to buy, but it seems hard to come by sometimes. If I can't find it, I usually get that Natrel 'PurFiltre' stuff.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
