Raisin Bran, Jif, Oreoes, etc are the same anywhere you buy them. And much cheaper at some places.

THIS. there is a difference in food quality & taste between chain restaurants & non-chain restaurants, Raisin Bran taste like Raisin Bran no matter where you buy it. I have no problem buying milk, can goods, dry goods, or produce from chain supermarkets; I support my local businesses by buying fresh meats from my locally owned meat markets.
