    Store brand is good depending on the store. For example, Costco or HEB (in Texas) have store brand products that are equal and sometimes better in quality than their branded counterparts. So when I’m at a store like that, I look for the store brand version first when buying an item.

      Where I live, Costco tends to be priced fairly in line with supermarket prices, but slightly higher quality for a lot of things. Not everything, you get to know what’s what, but as a general guideline it works. Meat for example, I’d always have said it was higher quality and cheaper prices, but the chicken has dropped in quality over the past few years. So you’ve still got to be careful at times. TP is much cheaper, but comparible to named brands.
