I bought a cuisinart ice cream maker and am going to attempt it tomorrow. Thanks for the subliminal thoughts.

Homemade brand ice cream is so good. I bought some Hagen Daz chocolate chip today because I was at a store that doesn’t carry Homemade brand and it’s pretty good but not as good.
Hellmans mayo
I like Aquafresh toothpaste. It’s getting harder to find because the market is so saturated with Colgate and Crest.
Pinconning is a cheddar cheese local to Michigan that I like better than any other brand. I mostly don’t buy pre-shredded cheese but TJ has a very good Quattro Formaggio that is great for pizza.
Cento San Marzano tomatoes are the best.
Barilla makes very good GF pasta.
Downey’s potato chips, also a MI brand, are the best!

Homemade Brand choc chip is almost impossible to beat. The cut of the choc chips - not too big, not too small - is

I have the same one, and it works very well! I can control the sweetness of the ice cream I make. 
This book is very useful!

This exactly, the balance between the sweetness of the ice cream and the dark chocolate shavings is sooo good!
Peanut Butter vs Peanut Butter Spread. I think they carry both. At Whole Foods the 365 Organic says spread somewhere and it has the palm but I always have to be careful not to pick it up by accident. They look very similar.
Reporting back- made strawberry ice cream tonight with the cuisinart. Very easy and excellent!

I don’t use a lot of condiments or jelly/peanut butter/butter. I use olive oil produced by a good friend and sea salt. There are few brand loyalties, Hagen daz, Charmin, Tide, Dawn, Cascade, etc. I am picky about my meat and fresh vegetables/fruits. I don’t eat that much and I am not buying for a large family, so I would tend to buy the best food possible.

Tried Tilamook ice cream due to this thread. It is indeed creamy! I had it with Ben & Jerry’s dairy free frozen treats.

Cape Cod potato chips. If I’m going to indulge, I want those!
Ditto for Ben and Jerry’s, Talenti, Häagen-Dazs.
I’d settled on Frankie’s olive oil as the best “all in one” solution, and my supermarket stopped carrying it!

I forgot my favorite condiment, soy sauce. It has to be kikkoman.

Because of this thread, we tried Tillamook ice cream. Very smooth. I think I like the crunchiness of Ben and Jerry’s better
Anyone have a favorite barbecue sauce? I buy my bbq sauces and jams thru a local farm store, with their own brand.

Not the preferred brand in this thread, but I do buy Jif peanut butter.
This guy is hilarious. He has an hour-long comedy special (only on YouTube), entitled, “The Salesman.” Good, clean fun.
He used to work for P&G
