NAME BRANDS

When I was growing up I remember this brand that Safeway carried called CostCutter. I never liked the offbrand products, but my parents would by them because they did indeed "cut costs". Now that I am grown up and making my own money, I rarely by anything that is not name brand when it comes to food. However, times are changing, I am growing up even more, and everyday I am trying to save money and cut corners, so I decided to by Wal-Mart's mark down brand- "Great Value". It was just Graham Crackers, I thought, "how bad can they be?" Well, the answer to that is Pretty Bad. They taste like cardboard slices with some cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on them- yuck. So, in the long run, I just wasted a dollar- that's how cheap they were, so I didn't lose much, but I would much rather pay 3 bucks for something I can eat, than 1 dollar for something that taste like crap and that I am just going to throw away. Another poor purchase was some off-brand yogurt in a bulk size- big mistake, it tastes like sour cream, but not as creamy.
