Why don't they drop the subterfuge and just call it the Great Wall Value. We already know what it is and where it comes from. And no thanks. My dollars may not buy me as much, but the food I purchase won't have me glowing at night, or with mercury levels higher than a carp taking a water nap, floating on it's side.

I have no problem with Great Value label items. In many cases the taste is just as good as the brand name and the cost is significantly lower. Their GV potato chips are awesome...I dare you to eat just one, LOL. I also buy the butter, orange juice, cereals, pasta, etc. Even their mixed nuts are yummy and my son will only eat the GV cocktail peanuts. My hubby bought Planters b/c they were on sale and my son hated them. I think it’s just a matter of what you are accustomed to.

You were saying ...

LOL... glowing at night huh? I haven't heard that one about Walmart's off-brand stuff... :-)

Even so, they still do have some name-brands there, and that's going to be the same stuff at any store. So, in that case, it's just a matter of whether the same product is cheaper there or somewhere else, I suppose.

But, Walmart is making a stupid marketing move by eliminating name-brands, along-side of their "off-brand" stuff...

I'm with you. As usual you have a most succinct way of putting things.
