When you go food shopping do you buy the no brand foods or the label brand foods? I just bought some kroger brand pop tarts for the kids by mistake since I thought they was the name brand pop tarts. They are not half bad.

In most cases, store brand foods are as good as the major brands. Sometimes the major brands will produce the off brands, even canning, boxing and labeling with the stores own name. So, yes I buy store brands quite often. After all, how much difference can there be in a can of pork and beans? They can offer them less because they save on production and marketing costs. My advice when in doubt, compare the ingredients. Are they the same? Are the listed in the same order? (Labels must list the main ingredient first, the next biggest ingredient second, and so forth) If so, buy it.
Where I don't care about saving money is with fresh meat and produce. Freshness and quality matter the most to me here. I will buy USDA Choice meats over USDA Select meats anyday. And certified pesticide free on my produce. Now that is worth the extra money.

my opinion is the majority of generic foods are very bad tasting. Some things it doesn't matter one way or another, like sugar or milk. But other things like pizza, or drinks, there is a huge difference. The majority of things I buy are name brand, I just can't see saving 10-20 cents for all the more flavor i get.

Some no-brand products, not all....depends on what. Sometimes you just have to pay the price for the name on the label because the quality is better.

Depends on what the food is. If it's canned vegetables or dry goods like pasta or rice or beans, then I'll buy the generic. But for frozen goods or things like that, then I'll buy the name brand.
