I recently discovered that Publix store brand wheat crackers a much better than Wheat Thins.

I was curious what Store Brand food items y'all have found to be better than their Name Brand counterpart.

Kroger dry-roasted peanuts w/ sea salt are better than Planters by far.

The big maltomeal bags of cereal. Good as hell but full of diabetes.

Walmart brand tortilla chips. They are about as good as most and more than half the price

Most of the "store brands" are made by the name brands. They just don't tell you who they are

Soleil (Albertsons) grapefruit sparkling water is our favorite, bar none. Can hardly drink LaCroix pamplemousse anymore

Great Value frozen biscuits. Better than any other frozen biscuits you'll find.

I prefer HEB brand tortillas and tortilla chips over the name brand. Guess that's cheating though since they're made in the store and fresh.

Kirkland Italian Sausage & Beef Lasagna is better than Stouffers or any other Frozen lasagna.

Sounds goofy but the marketside pizzas in the walmart deli section are pretty much better than any other frozen or take and bake pizza at other stores. We aren't breaking new ground here, just better than all the other ones we've tried by a country mile.

HEB chips are the best. Mexican Street Corn tortilla chips, and the Sweet Onion potato chips beat all

Rouses Coffee is pretty legit. I've bought a few bags since the wife and I are both working at home and coffee is getting used more frequently. At $4.99 per bag, its a great deal.

Does Trader Joe's count?

Almost everything is "store brand" and they have some awesome stuff.

Walmart Great Value stuff usually has way fewer ingredients than the name brand stuff. Typically a good thing imo
