Orange They Good? Yeah, Me Thinks So

@porwest it’s true. We have something called Quavers ….they are cheese curls , but they don’t look the same as the things in your photo.

They don't have cheese curls in the UK? I find that very, very hard to believe.

I know what you mean. Getting ahead and taking advantage of all capitalism has to offer is such a terrible thing when you can just rely on the government to bail you out. Ahem. By the way, you need not respond to that. But you can't deny you left it open for me to make my comment anyway. As for the cheese curls, I have not tried Walmart's yet. Most of their chips and snacks are priced higher than other places, and so I rarely get them. I cannot tell you the last time I bought name brand snack anything. The knock-offs are just as good, I have always found.

@porwest I wasn't always a poor person but I never had the training to make money with the money I had. Remember, we don't have other stores here besides Walmart and, I think it's called King's something or other. They're more expensive than Walmart. So Walmart is where we shop. I really do like the store brand soups but, still will buy some name brand soups when they're on a good sale. Last time there was less than a nickel difference in their prices so I bought the name brand.

@DaddyEvil You actually make a point that I make all the time when you said, "I never had the training to make money with the money I had." That is why I write the posts I do. It's to "educate" people not only on better ways to manage what they have, but ways to grow it as well, and most importantly... How to THINK about it so that one is encouraged to figure it out. The reality is most people DON'T get the "training," most people don't seek it out, and thus, whenever we complain about the wealth gap, at least it is (partly) easily explained. But I will leave it at that. As for stores, luckily, we have a few more choices around here. They are still quite a bit more limited than I'd like them to be. What we need here is bit more competition to help drive all prices down a bit further. It will come one day. It's just not here now.

I would imagine in Italy, it works the same as here. That most generics are made by the same companies who produce the brands. I tend to like the generics better as well when it comes to snacks.

lol. Hey, it is what it is, and everyone has their fancy when it comes to post content. House brands are often made by the same companies who make the brand names, so really, 90% of the time, your practically getting the same product with just a few slight modifications.

@porwest Strangely enough, the Great Value Veggie Straws were 15 cents an ounce higher than the brand name; so I bought the brand name.

@LindaOHio Well, that's weird. Yeah. I would have done the same.
