  • 15 Store Brand Items That Taste Just as Good — As a creature of habit, you might find it difficult to branch out of the brands you’re used to buying. We all want to spend less at the grocery store without sacrificing flavor, and Consumer Reports saved us all a whole lot of time by taste-testing a slew of supermarket and name brand items.

    So this whole web-site is all about saving money.And this link is all about stocking the BASICS in our pantries,plus a few other things.
    So you’re telling me that the staples to always have on hand include quinona, something usually found in a health food store.To me that means way more expensive than the grocery store.Also several kinds of rice,that also means extra money.Then you’re saying to boost your staples to add items such as roasted red peepers,capers(who the hell eats capers?)and some different varieties of dried mushrooms,seriously?artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes and several different varieties of vinegars.All of those items just add up to a higher grocery bill.Maybe these are staples and basics to some,but I don’t have ANY of those things in my pantry,and I never will.Not everyone lives in a metropolitan area where these things are readily available.I was always told that staples are flour,sugar,brown sugar, rice, pasta vegetable oil(1 variety) and vinegar(also, 1 variety). I subscribed to this because I seriously thought I could learn something new.I guess I’ll be un-subscribing now.

      As a person with celiac disease, quinoa is one of my staples and yes it is expensive, but it’s more expensive for me to eat the cheap wheat based foods and wind up in the hospital. As for artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers, they are some of the easiest things to keep on hand to liven up the bland meals that come from “just the basics” and there are so many other articles that are worth your time. unsubscribing from one article is just petty.
