Right you are. I typed without checking first.
Even better than the Evan Williams is Old Weller Antique. It goes for around $13/bottle, and is 107 proof and delicious.
Cheap stick-proof cookware is just as good as the expensive stuff, and wears out at the same rate. Buying the cheap one and replacing it every year or so saves money in the long run.
This is Alton’s reasoning, too, and the reason I buy my nonstick skillets in the 3-pack from Costco for $20.
I find most Little Debbie products to be inferior knockoffs of other pastry brands (YMMV, of course), except their apple pies. Those are WAY better than Hostess, and about 50 cents cheaper.
Buying an old double-edge safety razor off of eBay and just replacing the blade every couple of shaves is vastly superior to buying multi-blade systems and a hell of a lot cheaper. Back in the day, they made a zillion of the goddamned things of stainless steel. Indestructible in any situation you want to be caught shaving in. For a long time, the market model was to make blades exclusive to razor brand, but the battle to foil makers of universal blades was ultimately lost, so they went to a system of replacing entire razors or entire razor heads, because there was no reason to replace the old, reliable kind.
As for Totino’s frozen pizzas, here is the big feature that no other frozen pizza seems to have: it does not turn bitter if you accidentally burn it. You’ll probably want to flake off the burnt parts from the bottom if the cooking goes wrong, but even if you don’t it’s still edible.
I find many of the cheap cereal-in-a-bag varieties are yummier than the boxed big-name brands. In particular, Apple Zings and Corn Bursts are superior to Apple Jacks and Corn Pops.
The Tramontina ones? They may be inexpensive, but they are better quality than a lot of other choices. They are an eighth of an inch thick. I literally use my 10" pan every single day and it is in great shape after more than a year.
Indeed! I go thru lots of tires, and have found that Kumho has the best value, hands-down. Handle better, last longer and come in more sizes then Michelins or other high-dollar tires at about a third of the price. Of course, I can pick em up at the Tire Rack distribution center, so I save even more.
I like Totino’s pizza, also. Good fennel seasoning and it manages to be both crispy and juicy at the same time. You could do worse.
I can’t say that they are “vastly superior” but I’ve discovered a number of my local grocery store’s brands are equally as good as the brand name ones.
And recently I’ve discovered a brand of gummy worms which are less expensive and much more tasty than the well-known ones.
The very ones, yup. My last batch of them seemed to last 3-4 years. Got my current set about a year ago, IIRC. Going strong, even though I occasionally resort to metal tongs to flip things.
A not uncommon form of ignorance, unfortunately.
Actually, it’s not unfortunate at all. It leaves all the more for those of us with taste.
Despite their name, are double-edge safety razor as safe as current normal safety razors? I tried to go old school once with a straight razor and did not enjoy the experience especially since once you’ve started shaving your face and head, you have to finish.
Right now I’m using disposable Bics with one or two blades. If you dip the blade in 70% alcohol and store them in a dry place, they last about a dozen shaves and you get more time to enjoy that sweet spot where it’s neither too sharp nor blunt.
:rolleyes:
I keep thinking about the scene in The Great Outdoors with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd, where the two characters are in need of emergency illumination. Dan’s character, the rich yuppie, says (something to the effect of) “$200 for a lighter and it doesn’t even work.” John’s everyman triumphantly holds up his cheapo one: “79 cents!”
I actually like Wal-Mart’s “Great Value” brand of cereals. The Great Value version of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds is less sweet (a good thing for me). I also like their version of Wheat Thins.
They’re perfectly safe - what do you think you’re going to do, cut your ear off? It’s not a straight razor. The boyfriend uses safety razors and suggests that you do NOT use the Gillette blades you get at the drugstore - order online. He likes Feather brand.
This is odd, because every store brand, IMHO, beats the real Cheerios hands down.
I hate the nasty mold-like debris floating in the milk, and lining my mouth, the gritty lingering sludge.

The “Double Whoosh” is just a fantasy. NOBODY has EVER done one! It’s Impossible!!!

Watches. Any halfway decent quartz watch like a Swatch will keep time better than pretty much any mechanical watch. But mechanical watches will, for obvious reasons, cost vastly more.
I like mechanical watches more, but I recognise that they are just not as accurate.
Yup, Feather’s are awesome, I swear by them. Just treat them with respect.
This too. Market Basket’s own brand of cookie cereal is better than Cookie Crisp because it’s based off the old formula, not the current poofier version.
