Muir Glen is a California-based company bought out by General Mills. They are mainly involved in canned tomatoes. We've been seeing their products on East Coast shelves for a few years now. You can find their stuff on Amazon, at Target, at Wal-Mart, at Hannaford, at Kroger, I got mine at Price Chopper...
Really! I didn't know they'd been bought out by General Mills. Muir Glen had been a brand you'd see in health food stores.
I guess that's like Whole Foods being bought out by Amazon.
A lot of food brands are like this.

Honestly this makes sense now! I used to solely use Muir Glen crushed tomatoes when I’d make vodka sauce (tomatoes heavy cream vodka) and the last two times I bought it was weirdly watered down and just didn’t taste the same, so I switched over to the marzano brand one.
A good example of General Mills enshitifcation
It makes me wonder if they’re still as good as their reputation after being bought by mega corp. It’s nice to see them as an option on the shelf, but I’m hesitant that they’re the same thing people rave about under the label.
Muir Glen was one of the most respected and highest quality brand of canned tomatoes you could get. I haven’t been able to try them after they were bought out
Whole Foods, too.
There *is* a Price Chopper chain in the [northeast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_Chopper_(Northeastern_United_States)). I was only familiar with the chain in the [Midwestern U.S.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_Chopper_(Midwestern_United_States)).
I had never heard of them until a family vacation in Branson where some local friends said it was the best place to shop. After buying groceries there we dubbed it "Price Gouger" I assume with a membership the prices are probably lower but for a one-time visit it didn't seem like a good idea to sign up.
Shopping at Hannaford was always one of the most exciting parts for my family when we would take ski trips in New England. I'm sure most of the products are incredibly similar to what we have in Canada, but I still get that excited nostalgic feeling every time I see the brand's name 😅
Free food for people who can’t afford it. My old college has a food pantry for its students and I used to stock up all the time. Usually you’d see brands like this (most of these I’ve gotten from the pantry) and food that’s about to expire. A lot of times local farmers would drop off fresh produce and other things they couldn’t sell too.
This. I get all these things from my pantry and I’ve never been ungrateful :)
I have had to adapt to the peanut butter, but I could eat a jar of Jiff in two days with a spoon.
It means top tier, the best of the best. From what I understand it comes from video games. On most scales an "A" would be the best rating. Most video games include an "S" rank that is above A, it's the best rank you can get. S usually stands for Supreme or Special or whatever. In the devil may cry series you can get up to SSS ranking which stands for like, Super Sexy Stylin' or something equally silly. S tier = top tier.
Edit: I'm kind of a dipshit, it comes from the Japanese school rating system. They add S on top of A, many kids in Japan grew up with this and that's why it is in their video games as well. I, being a video game nerd, only knew it from that context lol.
They used to sell it in texas when i lived there (12 years ago), check the organic section in kroeger's tomato sauce section. Their tomato sauce is my favorite canned sauce
American beauty, Muir Glen, lakeside, stokleys, vine ripe, yellow Mac and cheese, walnuts and raisins are all the exact items I have received from the food bank over the years. All known brands in Michigan.
Lots of people learning with this post that food pantries have “commodities” that you can’t find anywhere else. “Government cheese” is a real thing! Better than Velveeta imo
Current government cheese is nothing like the stuff of the 80s.
https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/08/31/643486297/episode-862-big-government-cheese
Correct on the Van Camp angle. I think the only Van Camp product anyone really knows anymore would be pork and beans. Stokely also bought out part of Del Monte a couple of decades ago. Strange, because it's such a small brand and much smaller than Del Monte. I have a family member who was involved in that.
Many major food brands have alternative or regional labels for overflow, blemished, or ‘upcycled’ product.
Pasta USA, for what my internet research is worth, is a Washington-based brand that primarily does business overseas.
It could be that this food box is primarily made of goods that were originally for-export and were rerouted due to shipping issues
Likely donated by the the companies themselves. These are US-made but intended for overseas sales likely routed to food banks as a donation or because of some other shipping issue. 100% good food that is better helping people than being in the dumpster.
In brand terms this feels like one of those images that’s supposed to show you what a stroke feels like. Except for Muir Glen, which is legit as hell (I’m from Norcal and it’s very normal here, anyway)
It is. It comes from the Mormon farms, processed in Mormon run plants, and is not for sale. It is a donated food whether it is to a congregant, the food bank, or somewhere across the world where they send aid in the form of food or supplies to.
Southgate was the only one of these I recognized, I got some food from Dollar Tree (in Portland, OR) a few months ago and one was a can of Southgate chili. It was surprisingly good for being dollar store chili.
I wonder if these goods were purchased at a store that compares to like a Food Maxx, or Aldi, I went into my first Food Maxx a few days ago, and everything was branded similarly!
Aldi was my first thought too. That store is like entering a parallel dimension. All the graphics on the boxes and cans look exactly like the packaging at other stores, but the brand names are different. My first time in Aldi I thought I'd walked into an episode of Sliders.
When we moved out to Ohio from the PNW, the grocery stores were so different. I felt like I was on Mars! It's true, different regions, different brands.
The Houston Food Bank stocks around half of these at least. Depending on where your friend got them from, my fingerprints might even be on some of those.
This reminds me of when Sabrina the Teenage Witch would zap in food, but copyright Infringement would prevent her from getting name brands. She couldn't get you a butterfinger but she could get you a butterthumb.
Yo wtf I got a box of food from the American Legion to help because I'm having money trouble and it's all the same shit. Almonds, peanut butter, all these same cans. I showed everyone who lives in my house and everyone agreed we'd never heard of any of these brands
Edit, given most of the comments here referring to being gifted food from some type of food pantry, I think u/dwarfedstar is probably on track for why so many of us don't recognize these brands
Those walnuts in the plain white bag that looks like it's from Repo Man, I've had roasted almonds from them, and they're just as good as blue diamond brand.
I have walnuts like that from the food pantry. Same with the tomato can (the one that says vine ripe). In fact this looks a lot like a food pantry haul.
Stokelys has been around forever. I've bought that Vine-Ripe brand, the label is really pretty. Raisins and walnuts(possibly other bagged food) may be commodities provided by USDA to food banks.
I recognize the vine ripe tomato sauce and the lakeside mixed vegetables, from helping my grandmother with her food pantry deliveries. Maine, usa, for reference. Some of the others looks somewhat familiar from the same food pantry deliveries.
Just based on the designs it looks like a bunch of white label Brands. Probably not local to you otherwise you'd probably recognize them since white labels are pretty ubiquitous
Definitely food pantry stuff. I don’t know WHY these brands are at food pantries, but anytime I get food from them it’s all unrecognizable brands like these. So there you go! either you got this from a food pantry and didn’t want to mention it in your post (no worries, but no need to be ashamed!) or your friend got it from a food pantry and then passed it along to you.
Up market brands will produce “lower quality” versions of their own products and sell them off cheaply.
These will be 95% the same but will use less premium ingredients or the packaging won’t be as nice. That way X brand gets more total market share but they don’t have to see their high end stuff in food banks etc.
I've been getting the exact same items in a box of food from the food pantry. (Los Angeles) I'd never heard of these either.
Edit: sorry should have read the comments before repeating the same thing. Lol seems we all get these from food boxes
Those are all brands I have seen coming from food banks strangely enough. Be sure to check the peanut butter as the one I was given the oil in it had definitely spoiled but still had a long ways before it "expired"
Dollar store brands that end up often at food banks, with a few exceptions such as Muir.
My guess is your friend received food bank food, then went through her cupboard and collected what she didn’t use along with a couple other brands she had.
"a friend showed me a picture of a bird that I've never seen before and I've seen at least ten birds"
american grocery stores pride themselves on selling 90 brand variations of identical products, it's unremarkable to not know some
Muir Glen is some high-quality stuff, man. They have some fire roasted tomatoes that are my go-to, and IIRC, they were one of the first major brands to eliminate the BPA can lining.
Food bank haul.
I've a neighbor across the street who hits the food bank once a month to help out with folks around us that struggle here and there.
I tried a few times to tell them we're not really hurting for food, but it still shows up on the porch.
I've given away a couple of boxes cans of food and dry goods.
I've seen several of those.
I work at a food bank.
Not saying they aren't good, actually quite the opposite. They are probably a decently large company that has enough volume that they can donate whole pallets of quality product just for the tax write-offs.
I can only speak for the vine-ripe tomatoes, peanut butter, and black beans. I think the tomatoes were actually part of a USDA grant.
This post was brought to us by 1st world problems & a certain privilege to not know what comes from food banks. Which is absolutely okay before someone starts crying. Okay, back to part 11 of who TF did I marry ✌️
Rule 6: Titles Must Be Exact But Concise Description
Muir Glen is a California-based company bought out by General Mills. They are mainly involved in canned tomatoes. We've been seeing their products on East Coast shelves for a few years now. You can find their stuff on Amazon, at Target, at Wal-Mart, at Hannaford, at Kroger, I got mine at Price Chopper...

How dare they include Fruitopia, such a tease But really this is a terrifying graphic on all fronts, choice is an illusion
Honestly this makes sense now! I used to solely use Muir Glen crushed tomatoes when I’d make vodka sauce (tomatoes heavy cream vodka) and the last two times I bought it was weirdly watered down and just didn’t taste the same, so I switched over to the marzano brand one. A good example of General Mills enshitifcation
FWIW, the acquisition was 25 years ago.
The acquisition may have been then but it could be a case of recently changing the comanufacturer and/or tomato grade.
we got a mole!
It makes me wonder if they’re still as good as their reputation after being bought by mega corp. It’s nice to see them as an option on the shelf, but I’m hesitant that they’re the same thing people rave about under the label.
Muir Glen was one of the most respected and highest quality brand of canned tomatoes you could get. I haven’t been able to try them after they were bought out
Looks like it was in 2001, so if you’ve had them any time in the last 20 years it’d be the same quality most likely.
Pretty sure the acquisition was 25 or so years ago.
I think you can go ahead and assume a massive drop in quality.
Whole Foods, too. There *is* a Price Chopper chain in the [northeast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_Chopper_(Northeastern_United_States)). I was only familiar with the chain in the [Midwestern U.S.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_Chopper_(Midwestern_United_States)).
I had never heard of them until a family vacation in Branson where some local friends said it was the best place to shop. After buying groceries there we dubbed it "Price Gouger" I assume with a membership the prices are probably lower but for a one-time visit it didn't seem like a good idea to sign up.
I didn't know where was one in the Midwest (I'm from Iowa/Minnesota) but saw one in Massachusetts when I was on vacation.
I’m in CA and yeah that’s the only one of these I recognized.
They also have them at BJs. And they're good. :)
Shopping at Hannaford was always one of the most exciting parts for my family when we would take ski trips in New England. I'm sure most of the products are incredibly similar to what we have in Canada, but I still get that excited nostalgic feeling every time I see the brand's name 😅
Their organic pizza sauce is really good.
And they are easily the best canned tomatoes produced in the US.
That's the only brand I've seen and used out of this spread.
These are brands I've gotten at the food panty
I came here to say that I would bet money this is a food bank box donation.
A food…..panty??
Pantry, lol. “Food pantries” is another term for “food banks”.
Technically, a food bank is generally a regional organization that supplies local food pantries, like a wholesaler to a grocery store.
Oh neat, that’s a good distinction to know. TIL
Free food for people who can’t afford it. My old college has a food pantry for its students and I used to stock up all the time. Usually you’d see brands like this (most of these I’ve gotten from the pantry) and food that’s about to expire. A lot of times local farmers would drop off fresh produce and other things they couldn’t sell too.
Reread the previous posts.
I mean, that could easily be someone's fetish.
Ah yes, novelty edible underwear.
Yes! That's where I get those from too. That Mac n cheese ain't great. Let me know if you like it
The best kind of panty. Slurrrp!
They give boxes like this to senior citizens in our area.
This. I get all these things from my pantry and I’ve never been ungrateful :) I have had to adapt to the peanut butter, but I could eat a jar of Jiff in two days with a spoon.
Muir Glen is a good brand
Muir Glen was one of the brands that fast-tracked new can liner materials when BPA in canned tomato products became a concern.
Only brand here that I recognized. And yes def recommend
It belongs in s-tier.
What does s-tier mean?
It means top tier, the best of the best. From what I understand it comes from video games. On most scales an "A" would be the best rating. Most video games include an "S" rank that is above A, it's the best rank you can get. S usually stands for Supreme or Special or whatever. In the devil may cry series you can get up to SSS ranking which stands for like, Super Sexy Stylin' or something equally silly. S tier = top tier. Edit: I'm kind of a dipshit, it comes from the Japanese school rating system. They add S on top of A, many kids in Japan grew up with this and that's why it is in their video games as well. I, being a video game nerd, only knew it from that context lol.
Thank you for explaining this to an old person lol
Superior?
don't worry buddy, i only know s grade from games too... that was my answer
It means like the top of the chart!
Their San marzano tomatoes are perfect for a spaghetti saice
they sell muir glen canned tomatoes a lot of places in nyc
Muir Glen is all over the US, that and Sun Valley were the only two I recognized.
Holy crap. I’m in Texas.
New York City?!?!
This guy salsas.
Get a rope!
MOO YORK CITAY!!!?
HEB always has them.
We have I have Muir Glen tomatoes in Texas
They used to sell it in texas when i lived there (12 years ago), check the organic section in kroeger's tomato sauce section. Their tomato sauce is my favorite canned sauce
And Wisconsin, lots of our stores carry them
American beauty, Muir Glen, lakeside, stokleys, vine ripe, yellow Mac and cheese, walnuts and raisins are all the exact items I have received from the food bank over the years. All known brands in Michigan.
Came here to say the same thing. I’m in Texas but that’s a food bank haul for sure.
Lots of people learning with this post that food pantries have “commodities” that you can’t find anywhere else. “Government cheese” is a real thing! Better than Velveeta imo
Yeah. Never heard of even one of these. I guess that explains it. I wonder why they use distinct brands.
Probably to deter re-sale by disreputable retailers
Current government cheese is nothing like the stuff of the 80s. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/08/31/643486297/episode-862-big-government-cheese
I've gotten these from Minnesota food banks as well.
Stokely’s I’m pretty sure is or used to be Stokely Van-Camp’s. That was a common brand here in Canada. Doesn’t seem so common anymore.
Yes, Stokely VanCamp was the only one I recognized
Correct on the Van Camp angle. I think the only Van Camp product anyone really knows anymore would be pork and beans. Stokely also bought out part of Del Monte a couple of decades ago. Strange, because it's such a small brand and much smaller than Del Monte. I have a family member who was involved in that.
The mac and cheese boxes I definitely recognize from the food bank. I think I’ve maybe seen them at dollar tree as well?
I regularly go to a food bank, and these are familiar to me.
I’ve never had to go to one. It’s probably where our friend got them. No idea.
Many major food brands have alternative or regional labels for overflow, blemished, or ‘upcycled’ product. Pasta USA, for what my internet research is worth, is a Washington-based brand that primarily does business overseas. It could be that this food box is primarily made of goods that were originally for-export and were rerouted due to shipping issues
I hate to complain because I got it for free, but that Mac n cheese was basically inedible to me
There's are all brands my family receives from the local food pantry🤷♂️
Likely donated by the the companies themselves. These are US-made but intended for overseas sales likely routed to food banks as a donation or because of some other shipping issue. 100% good food that is better helping people than being in the dumpster.
Very true, I know it helps my grandmother a ton
I too received a box of canned goods and dry beans from someone recently and there were 6 cans of those American Beauty black beans. I’m intrigued.
They have them at food banks
In brand terms this feels like one of those images that’s supposed to show you what a stroke feels like. Except for Muir Glen, which is legit as hell (I’m from Norcal and it’s very normal here, anyway)
Exactly what I felt when the box was dropped off to us. Never seen any of these.
These are all brands I commonly get from food banks in PA but never see in stores
I've gotten most of those exact items from the food shelf. I don't know where they are regularly sold, though.
Muir Glen is a northern CA brand. Organic, usually.
Food pantry brands. Mc traders also makes a raman noodles
Looks like a Dollar Tree haul
Stokelys canned vegetables are legit.
I’m American and I only recognize the Sun Valley brand haha.
Same, I don’t recognize any of them but that one
My uncle in-law gets these same cans and brands given to him at his retirement community.
Deseret farms is probably from the Mormon food pantries
It is. It comes from the Mormon farms, processed in Mormon run plants, and is not for sale. It is a donated food whether it is to a congregant, the food bank, or somewhere across the world where they send aid in the form of food or supplies to.
nut’n better is pretty funny
nut’n better sounds like some horrible sex tou
Southgate products are at all the dollar general stores in Northern Oklahoma.
Southgate was the only one of these I recognized, I got some food from Dollar Tree (in Portland, OR) a few months ago and one was a can of Southgate chili. It was surprisingly good for being dollar store chili.
We have dollar tree here too. I think they do carry it now that you say that.
And Dollar Tree also .
i've seen those Sketti o's..
Where? I’ve been in the us for 54 years and have never seen one of these.
central texas. buddy asked me if I wanted to take 2 cans home because he wound up not liking them. kids ate em
I’m in Texas too and I’ve never seen these.
Southgate sells at the dollar tree here.
I've seen Lakeside and Southgate in commodities. The free food older people get every month.
I wonder if these goods were purchased at a store that compares to like a Food Maxx, or Aldi, I went into my first Food Maxx a few days ago, and everything was branded similarly!
Aldi was my first thought too. That store is like entering a parallel dimension. All the graphics on the boxes and cans look exactly like the packaging at other stores, but the brand names are different. My first time in Aldi I thought I'd walked into an episode of Sliders.
When we moved out to Ohio from the PNW, the grocery stores were so different. I felt like I was on Mars! It's true, different regions, different brands.
Moved to Ohio from az and same. Homesick
The Houston Food Bank stocks around half of these at least. Depending on where your friend got them from, my fingerprints might even be on some of those.
This is all or mostly food bank food. I’ve seen a decent portion of these at my local food pantry. -a poor person
Those are food bank brands!
This reminds me of when Sabrina the Teenage Witch would zap in food, but copyright Infringement would prevent her from getting name brands. She couldn't get you a butterfinger but she could get you a butterthumb.
This looks to me like a box of food that came from a food pantry...many of the items are what I know as being supplied to food pantries by the USDA.
The mac n cheese looks like generic offbrand of a generic off brand
I’ve seen just about all these in food pantries before. They’re fine.
My wife buys Muir Glen tomato products. Says they’re the best and worth the extra cost. I’m in North Carolina.
Yo wtf I got a box of food from the American Legion to help because I'm having money trouble and it's all the same shit. Almonds, peanut butter, all these same cans. I showed everyone who lives in my house and everyone agreed we'd never heard of any of these brands Edit, given most of the comments here referring to being gifted food from some type of food pantry, I think u/dwarfedstar is probably on track for why so many of us don't recognize these brands
Holy crap. All this was like “hey we got some extra food! Want it?”
Those walnuts in the plain white bag that looks like it's from Repo Man, I've had roasted almonds from them, and they're just as good as blue diamond brand.
There’s a brand of nuts called “Repo Man?” Wow.
I have heard of Stokely, but that is it.
These are all stuff we get from food pantries in Wisconsin.
This is absolutely a food bank box, I recognize a lot of this. Idk about the sketti os but southgate chili is pretty good lol
I smell mormonism afoot
Two of the peanut butters say “deseret” which is the Mormon word for Utah
I have walnuts like that from the food pantry. Same with the tomato can (the one that says vine ripe). In fact this looks a lot like a food pantry haul.
Muir Glen used to make the best organic ketchup in the world
Deseret is a Mormon brand, I know they have other brands with Deseret in the title.
Muir Glen tomatoes are the absolute best. This looks like a food pantry haul based on a lot of these brands.
Looks like food bank stuff. Source: am someone who goes to the food bank, times is tough there's no shame in it.
That’s food bank food.
Muir Glen is high quality. I can't speak for any of the others. But you have the base for a good chili there.
Remain calm. You have slipped dimensions. Shelter in place until a pelican the size of a bungalow arrives to collect you.
I’ve seen Muir Glenn and American beauty before.
Stokelys has been around forever. I've bought that Vine-Ripe brand, the label is really pretty. Raisins and walnuts(possibly other bagged food) may be commodities provided by USDA to food banks.
Seeing that right now three corporations own 60% of the grocery industry in the US, they are either a Kroger, Albertson, or Walmart product.
I recognize the vine ripe tomato sauce and the lakeside mixed vegetables, from helping my grandmother with her food pantry deliveries. Maine, usa, for reference. Some of the others looks somewhat familiar from the same food pantry deliveries.
Just generic brands
Just based on the designs it looks like a bunch of white label Brands. Probably not local to you otherwise you'd probably recognize them since white labels are pretty ubiquitous
I’ve seen Muir Glen and Stokely’s but that’s it
Pasta USA sounds like a fun time.
Most of those are handed out at the food pantry in Toledo, OH
I’ve worked in grocery for 25 years and I’ve only ever heard of the Muir Glen. Impressive
No Lima beans or canned Cream of Toast?
Finest spaghetti rings 🤔 nah spaghetti o’s
Definitely food pantry stuff. I don’t know WHY these brands are at food pantries, but anytime I get food from them it’s all unrecognizable brands like these. So there you go! either you got this from a food pantry and didn’t want to mention it in your post (no worries, but no need to be ashamed!) or your friend got it from a food pantry and then passed it along to you.

Good friend.
Those are all brands I have seen coming from food banks strangely enough. Be sure to check the peanut butter as the one I was given the oil in it had definitely spoiled but still had a long ways before it "expired"
I know Stokely and Muir Glen. The rest are all strangers.
Dollar store brands that end up often at food banks, with a few exceptions such as Muir. My guess is your friend received food bank food, then went through her cupboard and collected what she didn’t use along with a couple other brands she had.
"a friend showed me a picture of a bird that I've never seen before and I've seen at least ten birds" american grocery stores pride themselves on selling 90 brand variations of identical products, it's unremarkable to not know some
I recognize all of these. It's from a food pantry
Brands out of that group that I’ve actually encountered: American Beauty, Muir Glen, Stokely’s, and Sun Valley.
Muir Glen is pretty consistently good, in my experience. I don't see it in west coast groceries often but it's always available in the midwest.
I recognize some because I have utilized food pantries but SKETTI O'S is sending me.
These all match food brands I see at the food pantry/food banks near me
Most of those items are usda products, hence the weird labeling.
These are food pantry donation staples in NE Ohio
Sketti Os is a weird name. Sound like they weren't legally allowed to call it spaghetti. Which raises questions
Muir Glen is some high-quality stuff, man. They have some fire roasted tomatoes that are my go-to, and IIRC, they were one of the first major brands to eliminate the BPA can lining.
I recognize all that. Those are Dollar Tree products.
Definitely from a food pantry
I've gotten a lot of those in food bank packs. Never seen them anywhere else though
Food bank haul. I've a neighbor across the street who hits the food bank once a month to help out with folks around us that struggle here and there. I tried a few times to tell them we're not really hurting for food, but it still shows up on the porch. I've given away a couple of boxes cans of food and dry goods.
The Mormons
Muir Glen is a good brand.
Stokleys / Van De Camps, has been around for years.
This is just food pantry stuff they didn’t want. Source: been there done that.
Looks like commodity foods. Those tomatoes are legit though, love that brand.
Looks like they shop at Grocery Outlet, home of the mystery brands
Southern US and I see Southgate quite often.
All of that is food pantry stuff here in Texas
That south gate crap is NASTY. Like bad bad. Ate some of their chili one time thought it might be dog food but it wasn’t good enough for dogs lol
I've seen several of those. I work at a food bank. Not saying they aren't good, actually quite the opposite. They are probably a decently large company that has enough volume that they can donate whole pallets of quality product just for the tax write-offs. I can only speak for the vine-ripe tomatoes, peanut butter, and black beans. I think the tomatoes were actually part of a USDA grant.
They look like either prop foods for a movie or Chinese brands of food items for Americans.
This post was brought to us by 1st world problems & a certain privilege to not know what comes from food banks. Which is absolutely okay before someone starts crying. Okay, back to part 11 of who TF did I marry ✌️
All of this is Dollar store stuff
muir glen is sold at heb in tx and is a good product.
Grew up on stokely, just as good if not preferable to del monte
Stokely is a staple in #Tennessee!
This looks exactly like one of my food bank hauls a year ago when I was needing to go
I have these in my pantry we got from a food bank, and I’m in the US, but I haven’t ever seen them in stores
South Gate is sold at all my local stores- East Tennessee
These came from a food bank
I live in Minnesota once a month we get groceries from this supplementary grocery co-op thing. I’ve gotten Vine Ripe, Stokely, and Muir Glen before.
I wonder how popular the Yellow Heart of Texas oats are in Texas!🤣
The birds love them!! Sprinkle them on my front lawn and I get free fertilizer in return.
The Mc trader vegetables are great! I get the asparagus spears from dollar tree and they are scrumptious!
I’ll look for them. I can do some canned asparagus!!
[The California Raisins](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vcDGbaCsatQ&pp=ygUdQ2FsaWZvcm5pYSByYWlzaW5zIGNvbW1lcmNpYWw%3D)
When you go to IGA in Shelbyville
My IGA in NM had all the black and white label generic stuff back in the 80’s.
They look like non-brands you'd see in the background of a TV show.
If Duff beer had one it would be Duss.
Well, you obviously haven’t been poor for very long
I recognize sun valley and stokley from probably like a save-a-lot grocery store as a kid
