One of my Mother's sayings was that you could go "cheap" on the meals, but buy good, brand name condiments (the ones you were used to). And she was right! A few times, trying to save a buck, I bought "off brand" condiments (ketchup, mayo, mustard). I was always disappointed at the way they tasted. Mom knew that condiments could make or break a meal. Their familiar, comforting tastes go a long way towards making a frugal meal enjoyable.
