Good morning everyone
Happy Friday
Happy "Leon Day"
**QOTD update**
Now that summer is here I am staying up later then usual, this means I am sleeping later. So this may result in the QOTD being posted later than normal. So fear not it will be posted I just can't guarantee a time No worries from me Karla...I completely understand and something my "lack of patience" meter tolerates well. I do love it when you post it in the late pm's though.
Now back to our regularly scheduled "program"
Today's Question:
Do you have a item(s) that you will only use the National Brand not the Store Brand? Many...but one in particular potato chips...the cheap brands suck and aren't worth the savings! Got some off brand recently because I wasn't at my "regular" store and didn't want to pay $3.99 a bag...taste like the old potato sticks from back in the day that came in the can.
Are there items where you prefer the Store brand over the National brand ? Well I definitely know which ones are a good value and enjoy the savings.
Extra Credit Question:
OK fess up
Is there a TV show you keep watching even though you may say, "Why do I watch this" ? I'm guilty
