As for off-brands, though, you've reminded me of the "No Frills" brand of supermarket products. There were always a few boxes or cans of No Frills stuff at my grandparents' house when I was a kid. Good memories.gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740439412693373442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276762862544126558.post-18148882066118272572020-06-25T09:26:27.735-04:002020-06-25T09:26:27.735-04:00I love Panini products.

That particular theme/design I find uninspiring but overall, Panini gets my $$ more often than Topps. Btw, I've tried no-brand coffee. IT does NOT get my $$$. acrackedbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056658025780679689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276762862544126558.post-55733131763369298152020-06-10T19:00:19.419-04:002020-06-10T19:00:19.419-04:00When I was a kid my mom used to always tell me tha...When I was a kid my mom used to always tell me that the off-brand cereals were just as good as the name brands, but I would have none of it (probably because they didn't come with premiums), but to her credit she never forced the issue, likely because she knew that I would be a terror if she did -- many years later I decided to try one of those off-brand cereals, and you know something?

I don't turn away their cards... but I don't actively pursue them either. The same rule applies to Best Yet coffee. I'd probably never buy a can, but if someone offered me a cup, I'd drink it.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.com
