I usually am a person who will buy the cheapest version of whatever item happens to be for sale. I believe I inherited this trait from my dad. Growing up, he was the one who always did the shopping, and I pretty much always went with him. We pretty much always got the generic brands, but we would always get Skippy? Peanut butter, just because it was too much better than the alternatives, especially the Generic.

Yesterday I went shopping at Vons, and saw Oreos? on sale, as well as the derivative on sale, the Tuxedoes. Nabisco just decreased the size of the "large" oreo package from 20oz to 18, so I decided to go for the generics. It's all the same, right?

Well, I think I've found my Skippy. The Tuxedoes have such a bland flavor that paying more for the 18oz of Oreos is a better value than less for the 20 oz of Tuxedoes.
