Welcome to my food blog, Fork in the Road. I started this blog as a way to communicate my pleasure or displeasure with trying out new foods consumed within my household. Some of my biggest shopping venues include Meijer grocery stores, ALDI, Target, and Jewel food stores. As the global economy sputters along and household budgets are rattled, I have learned to make a few sacrifices on the food front by experimenting with store brands to see how well they can measure up against the name brands. Economics aside, I still have a few products that I flat out refuse to go generic on such as adult beverages and certain snacks. My wife and I are responsible for feeding a family of five that requires fiscally responsible menu planning and be willing to try store brand products that may or may not make the cut.
Why is this blog called Fork in the Road? Well, because often times when we shop and compare, we find ourselves at a decision point on whether we should go with the known brand name product or take the less traveled path and opt for the store or generic brand to see if it measures up. That is why I created this site. I will also attest to the viewing public that I am in no way compensated from these stores for my opinions on my these products. I will leave these posts as my personal opinions that you may or may not agree with, but hopefully find informative.
