There are many generic or store brands that are as good as
or better than brand name products. However most are not as
good. That's if we're discussing food products. When it comes
to pharmaceuticals I will buy the generic/store brand every
time. They work just as well. But when it comes to food, for
the most part I stick with the big names brands. When I have
tried generic, store brands, or lesser name brands they are
generally inferior. Take frozen peas for example. Or any
frozen vegetables. They are never as nice as Bird's Eye.
There was one store brand of canned kidney beans that I preferred
to the name brands when I was living in Calif. Also if I'm buying
canned veggies (mostly corn, in my case) I buy either Delmonte
or Green Giant. I recently tried Libby because it was on sale
and it sucked. As for things like cleaning products - I tend to
stick to the big name brands on stuff like laundry detergent
and dishwashing detergent where it matters more, but for cleaning
floors, etc., I'm more willing to use generics, etc.
And paper products are another area where the name brands are
much better for the most part. I buy cheap generic small
paper plates to feed my cats on, but if I'm having a party
I get the name brand stuff. And the generic tp, paper towels,
and facial tissues are not very good.
