Same game, different player?
A recent post in the Stew, the Tribune's food blog, boasted the joy of Aldi's Mystik brand jelly beans, which are apparently a less expensive (and equally as tasty) cousin of Jelly Bellys. I personally love nothing more than finding a generic counterpart to the "branded" things I buy at the grocery store. But there are some things that I feel are never worth the risk; for example, the grainy and inedible taste of generic Mac'n'Cheese mix is proof that Kraft still has the market cornered, but I can easily handle Sweet Valley Cola over Pepsi any day. What corners do you cut at the grocery store? Your suggestions for acceptable (or superior) generic brand items are much needed...
