Great Value
So am I the only one noticing that the brand name Great Value is taking over the grocery stores? i looked at the off brand and thought to myself that they couldn’t have been any good, but one day I decided to get a few great value products. I will be honest the only reason I got them was because they are cheaper and I was running low on cash. And surprisingly the products were really actually pretty good! I think that because they don’t have to spend their money on promoting their products, they can spend it on better ingredients and still charge less than the brand name products. I would really suggest, if you like poptarts which who are we kidding, everyone loves poptarts to try the great value poptarts. They are amazing! So u know how the brand name Poptart always have very little filling and it tastes like you are eating just pastry with a tiny bit of filling. Poptart has also started to cut back on the frosting. Well this kind of bugs me, which is why I now get the great value poptarts. They have a ton of frosting on them and they have a lot more filling then the brand name poptarts, which makes them so much better. It doesn’t taste like all breading and very little extra good stuff! Don’t judge me just because I like my poptarts to be sweet and sugar filled :-P but anyway, I was just noticing how this one product could start to basically take over the grocery stores, because if you walk down any isle in the store now you will see at least 2 products in that isle produced by Great Value. And since its so cheap too, me and my family joke how it is a “great value” which also helps the consumer remember the product and have the name get stuck in your head. Maybe it is just me, but I know the brand name is stuck in my head and I sometimes get great value items, not because they are cheap, but because they actually taste better than the other stuff. It is simply a bonus that it is also inexpensive.

I agree that cheaper brands can taste just as good if not better than brand name. I guess when i go to the store I don't really compare brands, just prices. Which ever one is cheaper for the amount of food you get, thats what I pick up!
ReplyDeleteive actually never seen this product? That's kind of funny. I do buy Kroger brand stuff now, and they do taste pretty good. The only thing I don't like that groceries or off brands sell, is cereal. I think off brand stuff taste gross haha. O and my best friend hates pop tarts haha.
