>literally the exact same product without the inflated cost of marketing
explain to me why people meme on this shit again?
>>
>>21847859
i mostly buy great value stuff but sometimes there can be a bit of a quality difference. great value frozen vegetables can be not great, the okra and leafy greens are often tough and full of tough stems. the dry beans have more damaged ones. but like i don't notice a difference between great value and name brand milk unless you start going up to the really expensive grass-fed milk.
>>
>>21847859
just got a walmart delivery where we got half of someone else's order by accident. it was all walmart brand frozen chicken tenders, nuggets, biscuits, and fries. the tendies were ok, the biscuits are actually decent other than leaving a weird film on the roof of your mouth, the fries (shoestring) are pretty big meh, but the nuggets are so fucking disgusting it's unreal. so I'd say based on this it's pretty hit or miss, and even the hits are not without their issues.
>>
>going to Walmart
I'd rather pay the higher price elsewhere so I won't have to walk among the clientele
>>
>>21847859
>literally the exact same product without the inflated cost of marketing
It's literally not. The products differ but if you can't tell the difference, then good for you; your tasteletism has a benefit.
All the same, if you buy packaged food often enough where the cost differences are bank-breaking, then you're a cooklet on top of being a tastelet IE you're utterly irredeemable so enjoy your Great Value taquitos, I guess.
>>
>>21847881
In this house, store brands are presumed tasty.

I like the breads from Walmart's in-store bakery - they do a better job than some high-middle stores in this area.

Also, in particular, eggs and commodity dairy (milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese, butter, block cheese, etc) I notice very little difference between store brands and major brands.

>>21847910
You can do pickup, which is a pretty big time-saver anyway. Or you might save more than the cost of a Walmart+ subscription getting groceries delivered instead of shopping at more expensive stores.

Great value is more expensive or within 20 cents of name brand, why buy it?
>>
>>21847859
Two of the great value things I used to buy switched suppliers and got noticeably worse (english muffin, cream of chicken soup), and one of them was never good to begin with (greek yogurt). They still make my favorite cottage cheese and mexican cheese blend though.

>>21848054
great value chips are like half the price of name brand chips, name brand milk is also quite a bit more expensive

He could've sampled brand name and great value shit as a child when it wasn't in his autonomy to do otherwise. That's when I learned real fruit roll ups were superior to no name great value shit. Now I know it's all shit, but you know what I'm saying, you little shit chewer shit swallower motherfucker.

He didn't even say he buys any brand name items.

He did hint at cooking himself and not being a brokie.

Buy a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes and a box of the store brand. Pour each into their own bowl. What you'll notice is that the Kellogg's bowl has larger flakes. The thickness of the flakes are more consistent. There aren't any burnt pieces. The store brand flakes are far less uniform, tend to be smaller and thicker, with some burnt pieces here and there. When you get near the end of the box, unless you have a condition like MS, you'll find far more crumbs and bits at the bottom of the store brand box.
The not so secret thing is that both probably came from Kellogg's. Batches that fail QC for the Kellogg's brand get sold under other labels. Some are store brands, some are "generics", some are food pantry brands only given out by charities. Older equipment is also moved to production lines that produce corn flakes for these off brands. Kellogg's sees this as a way of recovering waste and being able to sell across the economic spectrum. Better to make a few cents off the store brand or get the tax benefits of charity donations than sell the defective flakes as pig feed.
>>
>>21847859

>>
>>21848197
I buy shredded wheat from wal-mart because, despite tasting different, there is absolutely no difference in the enjoyment of it. If anything the only thing that gives "name brand" 200 year old cereal an edge is that they tend to burn MORE of the pieces.
>>
>>21848173
>He could've sampled brand name and great value shit as a child
I did not. We don't have Walmart in my home country and when I first moved to the US as a kid in the early 90s, we didn't live in an area that had one yet, not to mention that being a semi-immigrant (American-born dad but I was born and raised abroad to an European mum), American convenience foods weren't part of my diet growing up.
Anyway, I didn't have Great Value for the first time until adulthood and pantry staples like flour, beans and so on are okay, I guess, but now that I do eat a few processed foods, trying the GV versions usually results in a general sense of "this wasn't worth saving 50¢".
The only thing I will absolutely buy GV every single time is the Mexican style mayonnaise. It tastes moreorless identical to the imported McCormick stuff and it's half the price. Win win.
>He didn't even say he buys any brand name items.
We generally don't. As said, I'm a semi-immigrant. My wife is a straight-up immigrant. We mostly buy, cook and eat whole foods. ngl, some packaged stuff do be good, tho, frfr, but it's not a big enough part of our diet that it would affect our wallets much to switch to the lesser quality GV version.
>He did hint at cooking himself and not being a brokie
lmao
We feel broke as fuck but when I compare us to some of our friends or the stuff people online fret about, we must be doing pretty well, despite that feeling. We don't worry about food or bills or taxes. I own our house and we own a second property.
But I still feel like a brokie for some reason. idfky
>>21848159
Don't really have any brand loyalty except Claussen and I absolutely do think less of people who eat pickles that aren't Claussen (Ba Tempte is also acceptable). No others compare.
>>21848009

No pain or anger. Just pointing out reality: if you can't tell the difference between Great Value cereal bars and a proper Fucking Crumbs Everywhere bar, your taste buds ain't workin' too good.

OP is right
>Great Value products are often made by the same companies that produce popular name brands, frequently in the same facilities using similar recipes. While Walmart owns the Great Value brand, it contracts with major manufacturers like ConAgra Foods, General Mills, Sara Lee, Birds Eye Foods, and Procter & Gamble to produce its store-brand items. This means many Great Value products—such as cereals, frozen foods, dairy, snacks, and cleaning supplies—are virtually identical in quality and ingredients to their name-brand counterparts, but sold at significantly lower prices.
>In blind taste tests and consumer reviews, Great Value items often perform just as well as or even better than name brands, especially for pantry staples like canned goods, rice, pasta, peanut butter, and ice cream. For example, Great Value Hazelnut Spread rivals Nutella, and Great Value Sea Salt Caramel ice cream is praised for its rich flavor.
>However, not all Great Value products are identical—some may have minor recipe tweaks or different packaging to reduce costs. Still, they are subject to the same safety regulations and quality control standards as name brands.
ConAgra Foods produces many Great Value frozen meals, canned goods, and packaged foods—same company behind Banquet, Hunt’s, and Marie Callender’s.
Sara Lee manufactures Great Value bread and bakery items; a 2015 recall revealed both brands were made in the same facility.
General Mills, Post Holdings, and Malt-O-Meal produce Great Value cereals using comparable ingredients and processes.
Birds Eye Foods and McCain Foods produce Great Value frozen vegetables and potato products.
Procter & Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, and Georgia-Pacific manufacture Great Value paper and cleaning products, often in shared facilities.
Consumer Reports and blind taste tests show Great Value products frequently match or exceed name-brand quality—e.g., Great Value vanilla ice cream outperforming premium brands.
>>
>>21848408
Sorry to hear how sensitive you are to the placebo effect.
>>
It's almost never any worse than mass market brand names. If you're comparing it to something out of a smaller regional business that hasn't streamlined its product down to the absolute barest essentials of capitalism there will usually be a difference.
>>
>>21847881
Dairy is one of the things I definitely avoid getting at walmart. I live in Canada so that could be regional as there are lots of dairy farms here.
Orange soda is about half my diet as it's the only way to live on a $7/day budget and eat actual food.
Breads are fine.
Chips are kind of thin and have too much flavouring. It seems odd to complain about but I can't eat much salt and vinegar it is so acidic. Still better than pay 3x as much. Would buy Hostess if they existed.
Hotdogs are the only edible ones since I'm not paying $7 for hotdogs, I'll just buy actual meat.
>>
>>21848527
Great Value doesn't have ice cream they have ice milk, and it's still worse than Loblaws Ice Milk that comes in an identical container.
>>
>>21848574
False.
>Great Value ice cream is legally classified as real ice cream in the United States, meaning it meets the FDA’s requirement of containing at least 10% milk fat

The grains are stale and have excessive hulls.
The roasted nuts are burnt.
The frozen fruit is mostly okay.
The coffee is shit.
The soy milk is obviously watered down and extra sugary.

But I've noticed that many of the big name brands sell inferior versions with their own label at Walmart, too. Best to just avoid Walmart.

>>21848554
>Dairy is one of the things I definitely avoid getting at walmart. I live in Canada so that could be regional as there are lots of dairy farms here.
the milk you buy at walmart is the same as the milk from any other grocery store. we have a dairy cartel if you didn't know
>>
>>21848627
>But I've noticed that many of the big name brands sell inferior versions with their own label at Walmart, too. Best to just avoid Walmart.
Yeah, apparently most name brands also have separate packaging they have exclusively for dollar stores so that the package is a little bit smaller than usual, but likely not enough to notice when you're just walking through the store grabbing it off the shelf, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did something similar with Walmart. I've noticed that I can't even buy bacon from Food Lion anymore because it always tastes like it's going bad no matter which brand I buy, even if I cook it immediately after buying it.

>>21848383
That's kinda weird. I definitely taste a difference between egg qualities. I guess you wouldn't notice if you're not eating the eggs plain. I'm guessing your having them as omelettes with, like, 37 other ingredients or something? I would absolutely struggle to tell the difference there, too, but a simple fried egg, just salt, maybe pepper? Absolutely.
>>
>>21848554
Like >>21848635 said, almost all Canadian milk and dairy all comes from the same sources due to supply management. But the 'Our Finest' Walmart premium brand cheddar cheese is imported, made in Britain, and is excellent.
>>
>>21847859
Their Dr Thunder and to a lesser degree Sam’s cola taste remarkably similar to their name brand Dr Pepper and Coca-cola counterparts, I might actual prefer the walmart off-brands. I think because of marketing people expect Coca-cola to be 20% better than it really is, Sam’s cola to be 20% worse, and so the say 10% in their actual taste is perceived as like a 50% difference.

The whole wheat pasta is strangely smooth and sweet and not wheaty at all. The nutrition facts list half of the fiber content expected of whole wheat, despite the sole ingredient being whole grain durum wheat. Clearly a grift of some kind to sell to pasta normies, not for whole wheat connoisseurs such as me.

Corn flakes are probably the worst example because it's $5 for Kellogg's vs. $2 for store brand. I don't give a single flying fuck about uniformity or consistency with corn flakes.

If you told me a whole bag of tortilla chips would be broken I might pay a little extra for a brand, but fucking CEREAL? You've got to be shitting me. I love me some $2 corn flakes. And they look good enough that I don't even care how big and fluffy and pristine the flakes in the $5 box are, because I'm going to pour milk over and crush them up anyway. I don't want them larger.

In the Great Value thread calling everyone poor, it's so funny that anyone would be opposed to the pass. It's $20 a year. I haven't been without a pass for 14 years now. I don't ever regret it. That's the cost of lunch to me.

But there's this stupid sentiment like it would be "wrong" to donate money to the place you hang out and post all day when it means you bypass captcha and can dump something every 30 seconds.

I'll never understand the complex contradictions of most of the other people who use this website.

Walmart delivery handoff requires either scanning barcodes of random items or scanning a sticker that has been fixed to the bag by an in-store shopper.

If one customer receives another customer's items, the handoff scan for the second customer might be impossible, but it might still work if enough items can still be scanned. The second customer will complain, and Walmart will either refund or ban the customer and deactivate the driver. The deactivated Mexican driver will then switch to another stolen identity and continue fucking up orders.

I know. It's retarded. But the tl;dr is that I feel broke because we don't let ourselves spend money doing all that Instagrammable shit our friends are doing. We've got kids. They don't. So we can't just drop everything and go to Japan and Korea for thirty days like one couple we know did last summer.
But those same couple-friends likely felt a similar FOMO I felt about their trip when we were discussing money not long ago and we learned that they have absolutely zero investments and practically zero in savings. They're one emergency away from bankruptcy yet they go on month-long trips abroad. We've got a little under $100k in savings and we own the investment property I mentioned, which brings in money from rent we charge. So while they earn more on paper than we do, we own more assets than they do and I think we're each a little envious of the path the other chose.

I noticed they were selling off-brand candy bars today so I tried a milky way since it made my change come out evenly. Noticeably worse than the on-brand variety, it’s chewier than it’s supposed to be and the flavor’s worse. Confounding factors include walking it through chilly weather outside and the fact it’s been a long time since I’ve had a milky way. But it wasn’t that cold in my mouth so I don’t think the temperature was causing its chewiness.

You have no reason to dislike those less fortunate than you. Unless you're such a terrible person with so little to offer that the only way to make yourself feel any real worth is to belittle those with less financial riches than you have.
Truly pitiful sentiment. It's you who is really the poor one.

do you think they make the chips and soda there?

as with anything it depends. a lot of stuff is fine, some stuff is ok, and some stuff is kind of subpar.

He's talking about chips and soda being supplied by contracted store vendors, not the store's own wagies. It's still retarded. I buy GV chips and soda all the time.

This is exactly it.
If they share the same factory it’s super similar, but if you’re buying more craft/artisan foods it will definitely be different.
This kind of conversation solidifies my belief that american excellence is on it’s last leg, people do not care enough about quality.
I’ve been so poor that i have to buy Walmart brand, some of the products are better than other major food manufacturers but neither are good.

Land o lakes doesn’t have the “good” anything, and certainly not the good yogurt.
This reminds me that some grocery stores you can tell if they’ve handled the product wrong. In the summer, butter from Walmart would be obviously melted and resolidified because the wrapper would be IN the butter in some places. Didn’t happen in the fall/winter and I’ve never seen it at other stores lol
Hopefully other Walmarts do better, but mine definitely did not have any caring employees lol

Brand loyalty is the dumbest shit on the planet, that doesn’t mean there aren’t clear differences in tastes and textures.
If Ovaltine changes its formula for the worse, I’m dropping their dumb ass.

I wonder how many people who can’t discern different products smoke/vape?

Yes! It is weirdly sweet, especially their Mac and cheese mix

Their frozen fruit gave me hives, it was very weird. Never experienced it from aldis or meijer brand frozen fruit.

>>21847859
yea GV is fucking based. I can't believe I'm going to walmart instead of aldi. Stopping during NEET hours in the nicer town is a blessing. Their fried chicken is $1 a piece too. Always grab an 8 pack.

Lesser quality costs less money. For everything else, there's MasterTard.

That's not a good deal, tardnugget. It's $7 for an 8 piece at literally every other supermarket in my area (and $6 for Cheep Chicken Mondays at Safeway and Acme). I don't buy the stuff, but I notice prices.

I can get Pillsbury and Swanson for GV prices at regular supermarkets. Walmart never has decent sales (like… ever) but their regular prices are generally cheaper than other stores for lotsa things but because they never have sales, there's no way to combine sales with coupons and bring the price down to practically nothing.
For example, my family and I don't drink soda much but regular price is $9/12pk these days. I know because I bought one a few weeks ago and it's still mostly full.
Anyway, I got a $5 off unlimited use coupon for 7Up sodas (like Dr Pepper and others) in my Just4U this morning and they're currently on sale $7.16/case so for us, they're $2.16/case. Walmart, the regular price is $8/case in my area, I think, with no digital coupons to lower the price.
I used to go there for tinned mackerel since it was considerably cheaper than everywhere else ($2.69/tin for King Oscar) but it recently shot up to $3.49, the same price as just about everywhere else. As such, I've little reason to ever go to Walmart again for the foreseeable future until we run low on Barkeeper's Friend. It's much cheaper there than elsewhere. For now, anyway. And they stopped carrying Zout, too. How the fuck are my wife and I expected to do laundry for an active 8 year old boy with grass stains and blood on his clothes (he climbs shit) without Zout? Nothing else works. That shit even gets /old/ blood stains out. It's a fucking miracle product. But Walmart stopped carrying it last year.
And the continued enshittification of the retail shipping experience goes on unhindered.
