Crisco, not that cheap off brand stuff. Cheap cardboard containers don't hold up and slip out of your hands. Buy mine at Walmart , none of that Great Value shortening for me.

Sprites, accept no substitute LOL

Gold Medal flour

Reynolds wrap

I buy generics from 2 markets and Costco.

Kroger generics are awful, whether it's Giant, Ralph's or Kroger.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

I don't do alot of baking, but I'm not brand loyal when I do.

I always buy King Arthur Flour. I notice a big difference when I cheap out and buy the other brands.

Guittard Chocolate: I purchase from their website. Used this exclusively when I had my bakery.

Spices and Herbs: Will only purchase the "not cheap ones." I've sent my husband out on a run to get a spice I needed and he's always come back with the house brand (cheaper), which tasted like not much. Yes, I don't send him out on these runs any longer.

Last fall learned I had an interance to gluten, so am still learning about GF baking and spending a lot on all the ingredients required to bake GF. I now have a great appreciation for the 5 lb sack of flour on sale or BOGO in our area, which I can no longer take advantage of.

Land O Lakes, Crisco and Irish Butter

Wish I could purchase Berkeley Farms Buttermilk up here. Truly a superior buttermilk.

Best Foods Mayonnaise; Best Foods Sandwich Spread. Premium or one other brand of saltine crackers. Other than these, store brands okay.
