    Re: Generic Products

    I use to work in a food factory & we used to pack things for Sainsburys ( exspensive supermarket ) & the Co-op ( cheaper supermarket ) & the product was the samefor both, the only difference was the packaging Sainsburys was nicer lol
    Having said that, my tinned stuff is mostly Heinz & frozen is Birds Eye & I would never ever buy cheap bread

    Re: Generic Products

    I usually buy a generic brand on recommendation from others....or if I want to give it a go myself, I will buy the smallest amount possible so there's less wastage if it's horrible. What I find irritating is that the Select brand (Woolies own) is now just as expensive than the regular brands. Some of their products were a nice little saving before because the product itself was fine, just the packaging looked bland. Now it has a pretty label and in some cases it's more expensive than the known brands.

    Re: Generic Products

    Yes.....noticed that too Kay.
    Shredded cheese (we go thru' 2kgs a week sometimes),flours (altho' not the cornflour) and sugars I think...oh and soda water, white vinegar (for the washing) and scourers.
    The Cruskit type crackers were the best but can't get them any more.

    Thats interesting - I buy the Woolworths wholemeal bread and it is fine to me - and about a dollar cheaper per loaf.

    At our Coles they have reduced the paper towel range to only a couple of brands and they have about 4 shelves of no brand paper towel?

    Maybe someone should point out to them that they are discouraging freedom of choice.

    Heathers post reminded me, I sometimes get generic grated cheese and always get generic soda water too and they are great.
