Name Brand vs Generic

[Deleted]

Let's have a battle royale on name brand product vs generic.
It can be food, cleaning, or whatever.

I will start.

Bar S Hotdogs ($0.99) > Oscar Mayer Hotdogs ($3.99)

[valigrl21]

Name brand cereal > generic cereal.
Always.

[catladymeow]

Generic Raisin Bran > Name brand Raisin Bran

(the generic one we buy is Compliments, which is probably only available in Canada)

[wineandwalter]

Name brand pop > generic pop

[mrsklm09]

I very rarely go generic unless it's Costco brand (Kirkland Signature). And some dairy products I'll use store brand (organic milk, sour cream, etc but generally not cheese...)

[wineandwalter]

Generic sunglasses > name brand. I break and lose mine too often.

[jgrace82]

Costco brand anything=/= brand name anything.

[mehlaknee]

[elauren88]

I only buy my hygiene products, soaps, paper towels, and sodas name brand. I'm too cheap to get name brand anything else. Plus, anyone in my house is hard pressed to know the difference.
