      very often, the storebrand is usually a namebrand product with a different wrapper.

      Yea, it’s usually the nicer packaged, higher priced products that make dumb consumers feel like they’re buying something better.

          And often times it isn’t. In fact, name-brand can ofter be worse for a multitude of reasons.

            I’m interested in examples of when name-brand is worse quality, but yes, name-brand isn’t always objectively better, and is often produced in the same facility.

            As usual, it depends, so don’t knee-jerk to all one or the other, if it matters to you, compare the packaging (it’ll say where it was produced, so you can guess when it’s the same product).

            Sure, I’m just not sure if it’s more or less often than when it’s equivalent. It’s frequent enough that you should be careful if quality is what you’re after.

      Then you can buy nestle products and feel good about it because it’s got the Kroger label instead of nestle, because store brands are generally name brand products in the stores wrapping.
