Taste Buds vs Pennies
When do you purchase the store brand item in lieu of the brand name? In my opinion, you don't skimp on certain things as you just have to fork up the extra quarters for the sake of your taste buds.
Store brand tomato sauce is OK, as long as you mix it with the good ole Hunt's stewed tomatoes. I find store brand saltines to be quite acceptable. Stay away from the store brands of mayonnaise. As I've learned, it could compromise your potato salad or ruin your chicken salad.
Recently, I learned that when your under the weather and fighting a small scale war going on in your tummy, you must go with the real Pepto Bismo. Run, do not walk, run fast away from the store brand. Because nothing else will do when you need to settle your stomach.
What store brand items do you deem acceptable? And what brand names must you go the extra mile for?

Gosh, I hope your stomach is feeling better soon.
I just read your post about the butterfly. I believe in those instinctive feelings. I have had them too, and they are always right.
Feel better soon.
