Brands You Won't Buy Again (commercially, vinegar, chicken, tastes)

[Southlander]

Any Target-brand (AKA generic) foods. Just...nasty.
Surprisingly, I find WalMart and Aldi generic brands are pretty good.

I've finally reached a point where I will not eat any potato chips except Lay's. Lay's has perfected the thin potato chip, IMO.

I also don't buy any brand of chocolate unless it's fair trade. I don't like to benefit cocoa producers who use child labor so I can have cheap chocolate.

Read up on palm oil, which is in everything. It will make you weep.

I didn't know that....I guess I need to look at the label more closely.

Has anyone ever looked at the sodium content in Chef Boyar D (whatever) ravioli's, etc. Major amount.

I like a Spam sandwich on white bread about once a year......lol. I have eaten fried spam about once every 10 years.

Milk from wal-mart. We usually buy from Braums, but one day I bought it at walmart. OMG. It was horrible.

Bay's (English muffins). They're more like white bread slices, surprisingly. I have found that the Nature's Own brand English muffins are even better than Thomas' brand English muffins, to me. And they're cheaper!

Aldi "fresh" chicken. It never fails to go bad!

Do you mean the chicken tenderloins/breasts? I buy several of those every two weeks and never had an issue. If anything I am more pleased with them as Harris Teeter or other stores, the chicken is sticky. The Aldi's chicken is "clean" feeling.
