there's an aldi but i've been a few times and it's a awful experience and i don't think most people go there but there's still plenty of options. there's probably something specific about where you are that's pushed towards that situation if there are no options.
kraft, nestle and general mills make name brands. most of the stores i just listed offer store brands that are basically the same thing for cheaper. you don't have to buy from the megacompanis.
mostly agree on the whole foods argument, though.
- banannaise 4y agoGuess who makes most of the store brands?
- Mountain_Skies 4y agoAt the grocery chain I worked for, the store brand cereals were from Kellogg's but if you bought a box of store brand and a box of Kellogg's, you'd quickly discover that the store brand was inferior. For some thing like Corn Flakes, the store brand had smaller flakes, lots more corn flake dust, and burnt pieces. I suspect that Kellogg's has some sort of QA process that on the production line separates what's good enough for their brand from that which gets sold as store brands.
