    I usually buy what is on sale and am not too picky on brands. I do know people who will only by 1 brand no matter what. My exceptions are........

    Hoisin....Lee Kum Kee
    Tomato Paste .....Cento
    Milk.....Grass Point Farms


    I was wondering which brands you guys were "loyal" to?

    Hi,

    FYI: There is a thread on house brands. In various threads on Aldi, Trader Joes, Costco, Meijers, there are foods/generics/brands people have come to favor, too.

    I'm curious about the Cento tomato paste. Is that that different from the others?

    Where do you get Grass Point Farms milk?

    I use tomato paste alot. I love to carmalize it to give a rich taste to alot of braises/stews. I do find it very acidic sometimes. Cento seems to be the most "tomato" flavor without the acidity

    I get Grass Point at Caputo's and I've seen it at a few Jewels. Hands down the best milk I've ever tasted. Its one of those things that you just have to try to believe

    I like the Bistro Select Cookies at Aldi. They are made in Germany and are not overly sweet.
