#store brand

[incognitopolls]

"Store brand" means a product that is produced for and sold by a specific grocery store. "Name brand" products are sold at multiple retailers under a recognizable brand name. For example, Coca-Cola is a name brand; Big K Cola is Kroger's store brand.

This is asking specifically about groceries, not other goods.

How many of the groceries used in your household are store brand, as opposed to name brand?

Exclusively store brand, I/we NEVER buy name brand

Mostly store brand, some/sometimes name brand

About 50/50

Mostly name brand, some/sometimes store brand

Exclusively name brand, I/we NEVER buy store brand

I'm not sure

This question doesn't apply to my life

your recent research on grocery store prices was super helpful! would you consider doing a similar project but for over-the-counter medications and/or toiletries?

We absolutely would!!! In fact, we already have a couple things in the works along those lines. It takes us a while to do the research, writing, and production on these things though, so in the meantime, check out our old articles on store brand items (mainly toiletries) and medications:

It was a while ago back on Twitter, but thank you for pointing out how much better generic toaster pastries are than Pop Tarts. I grabbed the brown sugar ones from Price Chopper and the difference in quality is insane.

For those of you out there who don't know what this is a reference to, I mean these fellas:

I usually find them at Dollar Tree, and on the back of the box they proudly proclaim to predate Poptarts as "the original pop-up pastry."

They are, ostensibly, just Poptarts, but the notable thing, at least the last time I had them, is they have two to three times as much filling as a Poptart. Regular, name-brand Poptarts suck, in my opinion. They are 90% crust and 10% filling. But not these things, these things have plenty. I generally get blueberry, partially because my Dollar Tree only usually stocks blueberry and strawberry, and I'm not much of a strawberry guy.

I've tried Walmart's store brand Poptarts and I don't like them, personally. The filling on those ended up way too gummy. Like biting into a Poptart full of old dried out sandwich jelly. But these Toast'em guys? Whenever I'm in the area I always make a point to swing into Dollar Tree and pick up a few boxes. And it goes without saying, but not only do you get more filling, they're like a third of the price of a box of real Poptarts.

The one ingredient I learned to never cheap out on was soy sauce.

You go down the Asian cuisine aisle of the local grocery store, and you think, “They’ll probably be almost the same. How hard is it to mess up liquid sodium??” but you're wrong. There are two completely different choices in the exact same packaging

Soy Sauce (Name Brand)

and

Brown Salty Water (Store Brand)
