tankboy 10/20/23 4:46:21 AM #20:	There are some store brands I prefer, but I assume it is because I have not tried the particular name brand they were based on. Also, I think there's no reason why private label quality should be consistent, and that's why people have different experiences.

Naysaspace 10/30/23 11:39:09 PM #39:	some store brands are the same as name brands, others are vastly different just wait for store-brand meat and produce and dairy. where the grocery conglomerates own the farms and deliberately lower cost+quality. In canada, all the bakeries are already owned by the grocery giants. Grocery is basically an oligopoly in Canada. 2 companies: 48% market share 3 companies: 58% 5 companies: 76% regional competition is obviously limited to segments of the national "other". In most areas, the effective market share is higher because "other" is smaller. This is offset by small communities that are serviced wholly by an independent, for example. <cite>Naysaspace posted [p:976949668] in Affordable...

Their private selection brand is really good stuff and their simple truth is very...basic. to the point though, try their gummy bears or worms. They make a very good gummy imo. Cereal is something that's comparative as well, sometimes better in store brand. Don't forget the Wise Owl brand. It's absolute shit tier.
