My family's go-to brand since I was a kid. we've tried other brands, but always come back to Heinz ketchup.
As an adult, I eat healthier. I generally avoid highly processed foods, particularly sugary ones. I rarely use ketchup now, though this is the brand I go-to when I need it.

Glad Odour Guard Febreze Freshness Bags
Pros: Good quality plastic, holds up well to regular use in our kitchen. Easy-tie tabs are great! Rarely leaks - only if sharp items pierce the bag, or if the load is overly heavy/compacted in the can. Cons: not available in an unscented version... +
Pros: Good quality plastic, holds up well to regular use in our kitchen. Easy-tie tabs are great! Rarely leaks - only if sharp items pierce the bag, or if the load is overly heavy/compacted in the can.
Cons: not available in an unscented version. When the bags are fresh out of the box, it's too highly scented for our scent-sensitive house.
I'm scent-sensitive, and I still buy these. That's how well they work, compared to no-name or store brands, which seem to be the only available alternative.
I'm frugal. These cost more than store brand or no-name bags, but they will often go on sale, and/or I can use coupons to make the price comparable.

Gluten-Free Chex® Cereal
I love Chex as a gluten-free cereal. It's crunchy, not overly sweet, and has relatively simple ingredients that I understand. The downside? The price. It rarely goes on sale, and it's difficult to find coupons that make it affordable.

I was very excited to discover that these are gluten-free. I stocked up.... and quickly found that they're too sweet for my taste. So they've become a "treat", and I'll either snack on them, or will mix them with a less sugary cereal. I'm still happy with the product (great taste, cruch, and not too many chemical/artificial ingredients),and will continue to buy it. Just not as an everyday breakfast - they play havoc with my blood sugar. -
French's Mustard
A go-to staple in my household. If a meat dish tastes a bit bland, or for summer BBQ food, this gets regularly pulled out. Healthy, simple, and goes on sale often. I prefer this brand to others.

My go-to brand and fragrance. I'd prefer unscented, but haven't seen that in Degree brand, and I prefer Degree to other brands, especially in summer months. It rarely lets me down for odor control. Perspiration still happens, but stink doesn't usually.
I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, and I can tolerate this product, since it's under my arms. The only times I notice the fragrance is when it's freshly applied, or if I'm sleeveless and raising my arms.
I'm frugal, so I aim for combination of sale price and coupon, and buy more than one at a time. One container lasts several months, though, so don't overstock! :)

Dasani Bottled Water
We buy the small bottles for our executive kitchen. Price is high, but quality is better than spring water. For larger bottles, we prefer Aquafina, which has nicer flavor.

Always Radiant Incredibly Thin Liners
I found these too thin to be very effective. Maybe OK to prevent staining that happens as part of regular daily underwear use, but not as a backup product for tampons/cups, except on the lightest of days.
