A few weeks ago I did a pantry raid for you. I scoured my pantry to share with you my do's and don't's of generic food items. I decided to go deep fridge diving and see what I had to share from there.
As with the pantry, I find most single ingredient foods work best as generic foods.
Generic Foods that work:
milk
butter
yogurt
sour cream
cheese (shredded, brick and sliced)
deli meat (from the deli)
french fries
garlic bread
popsicles
ice cream
Brand name only please:
cottage cheese
orange juice (I don't like oj from concentrate)
What refrigerator items do you buy as generics??
milk, yogurt, cheese, ketchup, mustard, relish, salad dressing, i do have generic oj(but we like the "real" stuff better), apple juice
ReplyDeletesour cream, cottage cheese, block cheese, deli meat, margarine, sauces (stir-fry sauce, etc.), juice, yogurt.
ReplyDeleteI do this thing called the grocery game, with coupons, so we can afford to almost buy all name brand and actually save money. I do buy generic butter and milk sometimes because it is still cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI have recently started to buy using coupons so I am able to buy many brand name things and actually spend less than buying generic. However, I do buy my milk generic.
ReplyDeleteHere, we don't get a lot of opportunity to buy generic items like, butter or milk. Generic cheese usually isn't very good, but sour cream is fine.
ReplyDeleteI buy Milk, eggs, shredded cheese, but not singles they have to be Kraft. Ketchup & sour cream, That's about it.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on the cottage cheese... I am so picky about it...
