Is any store’s generic brand actually good? Maybe Kirkland at Costco is alright.
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoSure. Sometimes they're better than brand. When price is no issue, my basket will be a mix of store and name brands.
- klipt 5y agoKirkland is great. I've also found Target's generic brands to be fine for many basic items.
- sharkweek 5y agoKirkland Signature is reliably great, especially in comparison with other store brands. I’m a bit of a Costco fanboy though, in full transparency. My partner and I used to argue over who gets to make the monthly Costco run but now we just make it into a big family outing (Friday evenings are an amazing time to shop there).
- caturopath 5y agoI don't really have complaints about store brands in general, I think the quality I see is par for the course for non-high-end brand-name items, especially for non-food items (where some are better than brand name or white labels of popular brands, but the average quality seems lower). I have had good experiences with Amazon Basics and Amazon's clothing brands.
- MAGZine 5y agoThe vast majority of the time the store brand is manufactured by one of the competitors anyhow.
- MarkusWandel 5y agoAround here (Ontario, Canada), Loblaws "President's Choice" and Metro "Irresistibles" are good. Both chains have a lower tier of branding, "No Name" for the former and "Selection" for the latter. Agreed that Costco's "Kirkland Signature" is reliably OK.
- zokula 5y agoAmazon Basics is top quality.
