The brands you grew up with!

I think I tend to buy the same brands that I grew up on. Like you mentioned the banquet frozen pot pies. I really did not like them, but I had to eat them, I liked the crust best My mother used to buy log cabin syrup, I now buy mrs butterworth. there are a few brands that I have switched to.

I usually do find myself buying the brands that I grew up with. It seems like our mom's bought alot of the same brands lol. My mom also buys miracle whip instead of mayonaise, so that is what I am used to, and buy as well. i don't really care for mayonaise except for in certain things. I also use sweet baby ray's bbq sauce , and i am pretty sure my mom uses that also. I tend to buy alot of the things to make the meals that I grew up eating as a kid as well.

I have stuck with some. But with money tight, I also buy some store brands. Soda and peanut butter I tend to stick with the ones I grew up with. Sometimes your taste buds just want them.

I don't necessarily go for brands I grew up with, but certain things I do go for tried and true brands. It usually depends. Mostly I go for generic brand if I can, but sometimes they just don't cut it, and so I go for brands I've heard of, or I've tried and liked. I also use Peter Pan peanut butter. I've tried most of the others and just can't stand them. Reese's is good too, but I mostly stick with Peter Pan. Syrup and canned veggies I can do generic, that's fine. Ketchup for us has got to be Heinz, there's just no substitute.

I like the familiarity of buying brands that my family used way-back-when, but honestly, I don't remember too many of the brands we used in my childhood. I must not have been paying enough attention. I generally go back and forth between using the same-old same-old brands and trying new ones - it really just depends on the price these days.
