I think Great Value is one of the best generic brands out there. My father worked at a food plant and most of the time the food was the same, they would stop the line and replace the label.

That being said, I do like some brand names (McCormicks is a good example) and don’t want to wade through a football size store for Walmart brand items only. This is a really dumb move on Walmart IMO.

You are 100% correct, see my post #13.

This is true. I have a friend that works at a brand name milk company .. they stop the line, replace the label, and put the exact same milk in a Wal-mart container.

I'm also very picky about my peanut butter .. Great Value is Jif .. I'm tellin' you.

I've always suspected as much.

I find that Great Value pastas are fine, as are canned no salt added tomatoes are great, which I use to make my homemade marinara.

I tried a box of their corn flakes - not nearly as good as the name brand stuff, but passable.
