Sometimes. I've not had good luck with the house brand soups that are supposed to be the same as campbells. Meat was very tough, and somewhat sparse. I bought some house-brand wheat crackers one time that were supposed to be the same as Triscuits - they weren't. Not horrible, but not nearly as good and the were all puffed up instead of flat like the real ones.
There's no guarantee that you're getting the same brand either. Yes, you may be getting the same product as Del Monte. Or Heinz (yecch - do you really want to support Teresa Heinz-Kerry?). Or maybe something else. And I bet it changes from one batch to another depending on who has the best deal.
I prefer to buy most items by brand, but I usually shop by price. It is rare that I buy non-perishables at their regular price, even at WalMart. That's not to say that I won't buy some house-branded items. Rice is rice. Flour is flour.

Absolutely so... I can confirm that, as you say. I've tried them both... the soup and the Triscuits... :-)
It's as you say.
Some people who say that there is no difference between the no-name-brand and he name-brand -- probably have lost their taste buds and/or they have no sense of smell left either... LOL..
And apparently their tongues can't tell different textures... and so on...
I really don't know how some people can say that they're the same...
