Name Brand vs. Store Brand: Putting them to the Test

Oh yes, definitely. I make my own bread and rolls (bread machine dough cycle and shape/bake myself). The day before we're having burgers I make the burger buns. I've made my own crackers before, millet crackers. I make my own sugar free freezer jams with freezer pectin. I've made my own cheese before, but it was a hassle getting the rennet so I never did it again. As I've posted somewhere recently I make our "sodas" by adding a little juice or other flavoring to some plain carbonated water (club soda). Most recently what I'm doing with sodas is putting a lime wedge in a glass, smashing it with a spoon, a drop or two of agave nectar, then adding club soda. Really great limeaid taste. I make my own ketchup that we like, not sure if anyone else would. Plain tomato sauce, pinch of salt and either agave nectar/sugar or I guess an artificial sweetner would work. I have no idea what my own recipe is. I just put the ingredients together till they taste "right". I know I make more from scratch but am drawing a blank now. Great post! :)
