Bauer's mustard is my favorite. It's a local product, brown and spicy, very good. I keep regular and horseradish. Years ago you could bring a big jar to the factory and they would fill it for you.
I don't use enough Heinz ketchup to keep it in the house. It tends to separate because it sits so long unused.
Tube of Amore anchovy paste.
Small jar of Hellman's mayo.
Bonne Maman strawberry preserves. No HFCS, nice pieces of fruit.
I prefer Heinz ketchup and I like their upside down style bottle which makes it easy to pour.
As for mayonnaise I used to prefer to buy the Smartbeat brand but I can't find any more at any of my local supermarkets. So recently I have purchased light and then low fat mayonnaise made by Hellmann's.
When it comes to condiments, do you buy the brand name, or another store brand because it maybe be on sale or because you think they all taste the same?
For me, it doesn't matter when it comes to ketchup. I feel they all pretty much taste the same, and I buy whatever is on sale, or what ever is cheaper cost-wise.
When it comes to mustard, especially yellow prepared mustard, it doesn't matter what brand I choose, and again, I feel they all pretty much tastes the same, and I buy what's on sale, or which is the cheaper brand. But... when it comes to honey mustard or Dijon mustard, I only buy the brand name such as French's or Grey Poupn, as I think they do taste better than the other brands.
When it comes to barbecue sauce, I prefer Sweet Baby Ray's, but I have been known to also purchase Hunts, KC Masterpiece, and Kraft's Barbecue Sauce, as they are nice and thick and tangy like Sweet Baby Ray's is. Our stores always seem to have the Sweet Baby Ray's on sale more than all the other brands, so I'll stock up on it.
As for salad dressing or mayonnaise, I usually buy Hellmann's, as one of our stores always has an in store coupon for the product (2/$300) several times a month, so that's when I purchase it. I seldom see Kraft's Mayonnaise on sale anywhere, but when it is I buy it, as I like how it tastes, and I have found it's not as oily as the Hellmann's is. But... as for Kraft's Miracle Whip Salad Dressing, that's one condiment both my husband and I dislike (taste-wise), and I much prefer the Burman's Salad Dressing which I purchase at the Aldi's store.
Ketchup: ONLY Heinz
Mustard: yellow, doesn't matter - dijon-coarse - used to be Maille but found Trader Joe's, better and less expensive.
Mayo: I don't like it, they all are just as bad, LOL
BBQ: prefer Sweet Baby Ray's but will go w/others as it's not generally being eaten "stand alone"
Hot Sauce: Frank's
Relish: I don't use it, but my late husband like it, any old brand will do, it's chopped up pickles.

Ketchup: Heinz and only Heinz. They taste different to me.
Mustard: We don't really use the regular yellow. I only buy it when we're BBQ'ing and have guests because some people like it. I usually get the spicy brown and it can be the store brand. Haven't noticed much difference in taste with other brands. When I go with whole seed mustard, it's a small jar with a black label and lid. I can't remember the name but it's German.
BBQ sauces are usually like your picks or something interesting that we might come across. There's no brand loyalty lol
Mayo must be Hellman's and I get the light one. The others are just unpleasant to me, especially Miracle Whip <gag>.
As for salad dressings, I usually make my own but sometimes buy. I like the Ken's Northern Italian, Brianna's French Vinaigrette and Marie's Lemon Vinaigrette. And I buy them whether they're on sale or not--I just like them that much
