Tomato sauce for pasta i would have to agree with, while i buy few
commercial food products, i keep a local brand of tomato sauce around
for time when i need to fix a quick meal.

I was so unhappy with the 'name brand' versions, to me they were very
bland, that i decided not to pay the 3 - 5 dollar price for it and
instead bought a locally produced generic version which was very good
and only 1 dollar for the same amount.

I have been told that often times generics are for a local market and
the producers of them don't feel the need to make them as bland as many
nationally marketed 'brand names'.
