that depends on what im buying. foods, i try to get name brand.
when it comes to medicines and such, i get off brand. same active ingredients for cheaper.
I don't mind the generic store brand imitation Velveeta, hell some part of me thinks Velveeta actually makes it, back when I worked at the grocery store I actually learned that much of the store brand items are actually made by the people that make the name brand stuff, they just make the other seemingly generic stuff because customers are drawn to variety.

Yeah it's pretty good, but I think it's the lack of fat. There's just something different.

I'm not certain if the generic stuff is made by Velveta or not, but I do recall once looking at the ingredients and nutrition once and the only difference was like 10 calories.

No.. I shop at ALDI.. or something else.
lolwut
What do you mean.. ?!
Ice cream is something I buy. The fresh meats and stuff obvs. Milk. Other stuff that I can't really think of now. I do know that they have quite a bit of items
most store branded stuff in my experience is of a distinctly higher quality than national brands. their vanilla wafers are loads better than the keebler sort. popcorn is much better as well. the only thing that falls short is their version of doritos. they are gritty as cuss. strangely, i get the impression that these bad chips are among their most popular of imitations. i have also had some strawberry preserves that have not been so great.

I could be mistaken
But I do believe almost every single item in ALDI is one of their brands
