I often buy herbs and spices from the local health-food co-op but I buy
store brands if at all possible. Some name brands, like Heinz Ketchup
and Kellog Bran-Flakes are reproduced so well by store brands that you
might suspect they were made in the same factory but that's a matter of
taste. Trader Joe's does rather better on coffees and preserves than
other supermarkets. I tend to stay away from any Oriental foods in
supermarkets since they seem inferior and more expensive than those from
two relatively nearby Chinese supermarkets.
