Ask:
Have you ever switched from a name brand to a generic brand and your dh hasn't noticed? He likes namebrand coffee creamer and for almost a year I was purchasing Walmart brand and putting it in his namebrand container.
He hasn't said anything since I switched to Aldi's coffee and namebrand toilet paper from HyVee.
I cannot switch from Heinz ketcup though.
Answer:
I my dh too much to do something like that!
Yes I do it all the time. I switch his oj becuase it saves me a dollar.
Answer:
He says he can tell the difference, but when I "switch" on him without telling him he never notices!
One time I made a meal with Boca crumbles (vegetarian) that required ground beef and he never even said a word.
Answer:
DH prefers cheap things and I think it is because of how he was raised. Like, his Mom used the paper thin, very cheap toilet paper when he was a kid (and still does) and he hates when i use anything else (which i do ALL the time) . Other than that he really has no preference. He doesnt drink soda, eat chips, etc. And he actually comments on me buying cheaper with "AWESOME!! WALMART BRAND!!" weirdo
Answer:
All the time. I even made instant mashed potatoes last night for dinner and doctored them up with some italian seasoning, garlic powder and butter. He sucked them right down - I dont think he noticed the difference. And actually, for once I liked them (I used to be completely averse to them) -- Betty Crocker has brought them quite far compared to 10 years ago! 10 minutes to prepare and 30 cents for the package made it taste even better
Answer:
My dh would never know the difference. Actually he has no name brand loyalty. He would know though if I tried to serve instant mashed potatoes!!!
Answer:
Hay what with the crack on instant potatoes! I like them.
Answer:
My hubby would notice in a heartbeat. Hes so funny about his name brands. Hes worse than a woman. He will only use Pampers, Cottonelle, Cheer or All, Dove bar soap to name a few. Weird.
Answer:
Except for buying TP and Albacore tuna I dont think he could care less what brand of whatever else I buy. I am the freak about having real potatoes. I will use instant in a pinch but ummmm not crazy about it.
Answer:
I have to confess I do this all the time. (I hope he doesn't read this). Once I even replaced the ground beef in my lasagna reciepe with imitation veggie ground beef. I was really surprised he didn't notice that one! I tell him the truth if he asks but usually I just refill the 'real' bottle of whatever with the generic one I purchased.
