What is important today is to pay CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LABLED COUNTRY OF ORIGIN FOR THE FOOD ITEM YOU WANT TO BUY!!

CHINESE FOOD IS A SERIOUS NO. OH, HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with that.

I buy a mixture of them. I can't buy store brand cereal, coffee, peanut butter, mayo, ketchup, salad dressing and others that I can't think of. Also toilet paper it seems the cheaper it is the more you use so it seems to be a waste to me.
