There have been a time or two that I do notice a difference and have stuck with a name brand; but its not on many things. From dog food to soup to scalloped potatoes.

Normally the brand leader in a category does not package private label. example Frito Lay does not pack private label chips so look for Wise, Synders, Utz etc to pack private labels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552723854635747246.post-55757731060435299502011-03-02T21:16:16.808-05:002011-03-02T21:16:16.808-05:00$.25?
