  very often, the storebrand is usually the namebrand product with a different wrapper.

    Sometimes it’s made with lower quality ingredients at the same factory, sometimes it’s equivalent.

      Some might be lower but some would be the same.

  Jepp, it’s usually the nicer packaged, higher priced products that make dumb consumers feel like they’re buying something better.

    But sometimes the nicer packaged product is better, it depends on the product.

      And often times it isn’t. In fact, name-brand can ofter be worse for a multitude of reasons.

        I’m interested in examples of when name-brand is worse quality, but yes, name-brand isn’t always objectively better, and is often produced in the same facility.

        As usual, it depends, so don’t knee-jerk to all one or the other, if it matters to you, compare the packaging (it’ll say where it was produced, so you can guess when it’s the same product).

        Sure, I’m just not sure if it’s more or less often than when it’s equivalent. It’s frequent enough that you should be careful.

  Then you can buy nestle products and feel good about it because it’s got the Kroger label instead of nestle, because store brands are generally name brand products in the stores wrapping.

    Careful! Some of us are capable of flipping the package over and reading.
