I feel for you, sid. That's absolutely true. My two cents: chocolate syrup, must be Hershey's, I will accept NO substitutes. And Chef Boyardee's Raviolos(sp?), generics just aren't the same.

I hate generic coffee and noodle. Is it just me or does Ramen taste like aged plastic?

Rich foods. nearly everything i have ever had from them is good, and generally really really cheap as well.

Ya just need to go to Costco! There, the normal stuff is cheap, and the generic stuff is REALLY cheap. I fed 8 people with $1.62 (total) for a breakfast with Ramen and eggs. Sure, it wasn't that good, but it was CHEAP! Of course, you can't buy that small of an amount at Costco, but it's still great.
