*All
...unless I'm at whole foods or earthfare. I just don't trust those store brands as we know virtually nothing about the quality of fabrication. I know 90% of them are fine, but I know we'll eventually find out Kroger is recalling their store brand corn cereal because it was made on the same machine as Alpo somewhere in Mexico without a cleaning between runs.

Soup is soup
There can only be one blue box! Seriously I've tried a few 'Store Brand' and they were so nasty the dog wouldn't even eat them. Velveeta is the only acceptable substitute.
Hunts then Heinz then all others
I'll just say this, All Beef, natural casings and national name brand only.
The local butcher shop is my fix for bacon.

Hellman's Mayo
Heinz Ketchup
Diet Coke
(English) Heinz baked beans
(English) Heinz cream of tomato soup
Philly Cream Cheese
Laughing Cow Cheese Triangles
Jacobs Cream Crackers
Tropicana OJ (although I am going through a Trop50 phase at the moment, and one of my grocery stores does a good 'fresh tasting' 100% juice OJ now which is perfectly acceptable, most own brand juice is not good).

I agree with most of the foods already listed, but how about cleaning items and paper goods?
Charmin TP
Bounty paper towels
Huggies/Pampers diapers
Laundry detergent (I'll buy lots of different name brands - Tide, Gain, Arm & Hammer, but just not generic ones)
Saran Wrap or Glad Wrap

Agree with the Coke and muffins
On the other hand, I have found many of BJ's brands of clothing, garbage bags, and other products to be excellent.
- Pellegrino
- Most cat litters
- Cat food and dog food
- bird seet, the store brand is all fillers
- detergents
- glad or zip lock bags
- tires and batteries
- paint
