Most of “their” brands suck. Cereals, pasta sauces, preserves, and food additives...tried them all, they are the text book definition of “sucky”.
I can't say that I've tried them all, because "I'm scared to..." LOL...
But, really..., I would say for a lot of them, they are lower quality. Sometimes it's not that big of a difference but for some other stuff... it would be a big difference. And I've had some of their bad stuff that I won't have again (perhaps that's why I'm scared to try "all" their "off-brand" stuff... don't want to be miserable for the rest of my life, doncha know...).
Mostly I've stuck to name-brand stuff, with a few items, here and there, being "off-brand".
And that's why Walmart is extremely stupid in their "marketing plan" to eliminate a certain selection of name-brand products, because that means that I'll probably be one of those that they "drive away to their competitor"...
It's not that I would have really wanted that to happen, but that Walmart is making it happen. So, what can one do, other than leave Walmart...
We still buy some brand name stuff from them, but of the newer “great value” brand items we’ve bought, we won’t even look at anymore.
Too bad, too, we spent an average of $300.00 per month last year with them.
Thanks for the post, I was wondering what was going on for the last few months.
