I used to work in a market that was based on store brand stuff


With the exception of Pop-Tarts/Ice Cream/Potato Chips....Store Brand is the better option

 

[BrehWyatt]

It mostly depends on what the item is and whether the taste difference, if any, is tolerable. Like, I fukks with store-brand milk and I haven't had any problems yet from it. Meat? Hit or miss and in general, I try to get something with a name on it in that regard. Canned veggies, bread? Sure, I can do that. Rice and toaster pastries? Nah, it has to be Uncle Ben's/Pop-Tarts brand, respectively.

But in some cases, for example, certain cereals I like don't have a store brand counterpart so I just go with the name-brand stuff.

Aldi and Publix are good store brands. That walmart great value type of shyt is trash

Publix is one of the GOAT stores. I miss living in a city with a Publix.

my wife (rip) did the shopping for years
about half of our groceries were generic
we definitely had enough money
but it was just part of our frugal mindset
so i was down with it

i still buy at least one-third of my groceries generic
personally i've shifted towards buying bulk
costco or sam's club (amazon for out-of-market items)
i know what i like
so i just want to get it at the lowest unit cost

cheapo pasta and real shredded cheese is pretty allright.

toaster pastries should never be generic. I learned that the hard way, many moons ago...

I bet none of it is good for you. Go vegan brothas and sistas.

With the exception of certain junk foods like oreos, doritos, and cheetos, i am usually cool with the store brands

 

[DaddyTime]

On certain products, the supermarket will contract with the name-brand manufacturers to produce the store brand shyt. So in other words, you can have the same exact product but just in different labeling and boxes, and then they sell both of them where the store brand is obviously cheaper. They know people are dumb enough to fall for the marketing and branding behind a product.

Source: I used to work in 3 supermarkets

you're totally right about the marketing scheme

got any examples/specifics on those "identical" items breh?

Store brands taste exactly the same and cheaper. There's no reason not to purchase it unless you're some bougie/uppity negro

So your a house negro because you drink Tropicana oj not the bull shyt walmart brand
