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


Bonus Question:

Ladies: Did or do you have a charm bracelet ? I think I did when a kid...but it may have disappeared before I ever got any new charms.

Men: Do any of the ladies in your life have a charm bracelet ?

Just for Fun:

Ok it is 6 months till Christmas, has any here started their shopping already ? He!! to the NO!

Which utensil gets the most use in your home ? Have fork will travel and I like the shorty version forks in my set.

Have a great weekend everybody!

Do you have a item(s) that you will only use the National Brand not the Store Brand? I have become addicted to "Blue Bell" ice cream.


Are there items where you prefer the Store brand over the National brand ? I generally prefer Craftsmen tools. I'm wondering if Karla knows what these are?


Is there a TV show you keep watching even though you may say, "Why do I watch this" ? Not anymore, just swore off "Heroes", "V". No more life long series that you have to watch every episode like "Lost", etc...




Men: Do any of the ladies in your life have a charm bracelet ? My Mom. Does that count?




Ok it is 6 months till Christmas, has any here started their shopping already ? Not started, but have already picked up some items for certain members of the family.

Which utensil gets the most use in your home ? I have one medium Japanese style kitchen knife.
