    - simply food
    - nativa
    - quo
    - balea

    oo thx for the tip. I always thought gosh was sdm for some reason :p

    and yeah, the simply food chips are delicious! They need to make more flavours. I always see ppl grabbing a bunch of them when they go for .99

    The simply food lasagna is quite good for a frozen food. I usually pick one up when they go on sale.

    Love the Simply chips, the kettle chips, and the popcorn.
    Haven't liked any of the bagged candy we've tried - and we've tried many - didn't like jujubes, jellybeans...

    Absolutely LOVE Everyday Market cheese - our son is a cheese lover, we've had all brands, this is definitely the best.
    Have bought the EM white sugar, it's okay in a pinch, but it's not as fine as other sugar brands. Brown sugar and icing sugar are good.

    Good idea for a thread!

    Thanks for the info about the SF ripple chips. I will give them a try.

    I like the Nativa tortilla chips and the Simply Food chocolate chip cookies that are made with read butter (haven't tried the *regular* ones). The SF pumpkin pie is also very good imo.

    Ok, I just made myself hungry...

    Have a great life!

    My hubby prefers the Simply Food french fries over McCains. Bonus for me. They are always on sale. The one item I will never buy again is the Simply Food soups which are comparable to the Campbells Soups. The bigger cans not the little condensed soup ones. Hard to explain. Anyway, they taste so bland even after adding a very unhealthy amount of salt they were still yuck.

    Everyday market baking soda works fine. Love love love the Nativa Tortilla chips. Simply Food salsa is comparable to Tostitos. The Simply Food fruit twists taste similar to Del Monte

    We love the Simply Food pizzas (and were really disappointed when we couldn't get them for awhile). I will not buy the "house brand" garbage bags again. They are too thin and tear easily.

    My daughters like SF tomato ketchup and chocolate hazelnut spread. I like Everyday Market tuna and cheese too. Life Brand is fine but I've never bought their diapers for my son. Are they good?

    i second the simply food frozen corn! and i like their chicken strips too- all white meat.

    as far as quo, i wish i could say i loved it. i got a few quo items at the post-xmas redemption and im not too thrilled.

    the life brand diapers seem to be alright, we've actually never had a blow out with them but have had them with pampers and especially huggies. dd seems to have a reaction to life brand wipes though.

    oh yeah, and i really like the life brand epsom salts.

    oh yeah and the nativa tortilla chips...the multigrain ones...wow!!!
