What food brands do you not compromise on

[tortillachipsanddips]

Light-hearted

I really don't think we are a good brand snob family.

We use supermarket own baked beans / ketchup / bread butter etc where ever cheaper.

However I do like my instant coffee and squash to be our normal brands.
This morning my daughter refused her cereal as it tasted horrible and I had swapped our crunchy nut to Tesco branded and I agreed with her I could really taste the difference which I was surprised about.

What items do you not compromise on ?

Heinz
Kelloggs
Anything else is fair game.

Teabags!! Always PG Tips!!

Lurpak

Tea bags and coffee

Marmite

a certain curry sauce/ketchup.
doritos
anything else is fair game.

Heinz ketchup- dont mind smart price beans- just add a squirt of ketchup and they all taste the same
Own brand cola

Malden Salt
Colemans mustard
Aldi Free Range chicken (does this count?)

Fairly liberal on the other stuff

Welsh Brew Tea always. It's the best.

Heinz tomato ketchup. We keep going to poncey burger bars that make their own and it's always rank.

Heinz tomato soup. DH poured the Baxter's down the sink 😂

Heinz ketchup
Heinz baked beans (I'm not bothered about this one but DD2 can genuinely taste the difference.)

I think that's it!!

Marmite. Can't deal with that own brand yeast extract.

And for some reason ketchup.

Oh and peanut butter! The grey own brand one with the oil on the top? yuck not envy

Bird's Eye peas.

Heinz for ketchup, Nescafé gold for coffee and Hellman’s for mayo. Most other things I don’t mind supermarket brands for.

Tuna. Will only eat John west!
Princes at a push but John west in spring water.
Found skin And bones in a supermarket brand tuna once and put me off for life!

Peanut butter. I only buy Whole Earth.
Coffee.
Honey. Very costly item as I only buy manuka, it's £13.99 at Asda.
Walkers crisps.
Fairy liquid.

I'm not fussy about tinned stuff (although I don't buy much), dry goods like pasta/rice or things like loo roll.

Tea - has to be Yorkshire tea.

Other than that it's more down to quality of ingredients, so no palm oil in my peanut butter, just peanuts. Also cakes from a bakery if not home made, the ones in boxes that keep for months don't do anything for me.

Coffee has to be Lidl barista americano .Its better than any other.

Heinz salad cream.

Comfort intense fabric conditioner.th blue one.

Coca Cola

HP

Tea and coffee - I have tried loads of own brands but none beat PG Tips or Lavazza.

Digestives, only McVities will do.

Hellman's mayo
Heinz ketchup
Coffee
Coca-Cola

Kenco coffee
Heinz ketchup (they must be doing something right - this is coming up a lot!)
Kelloggs (don't buy much though)
Bachelors cup a soup
DH only buys tea from the Brew Co. But that is because it is pretty much the only place you can get decaff loose tea.
YeoValley yoghurt

Hellman's mayo. PG Tips now they've compostable bags.
Prefer Waitrose baked beans to Heinz though.

Mayo - has to Be Hellmanns
Baked Beans - I will stray but you can’t really beat Heinz
Cheerios - tried Aldi equivalent & hated them
Peas/Petitpois - has to be Birdseye
