I think they are mainly rank, well I do use sainsburys bog roll though! Food is awful, I got some own brand beans once and the taste was so different to Heinz. Crisps are ok and biscuits but thats about it.

It's all in the mind. Most own brand products are exactly the same as branded products. They come out of the same factory, made or processed under the same conditions, but get a different label before being distributed.

No i think that Alot of the stuff is the same to be honest. They are all made in the same places, or originate from the same places as the normal stuff. Supermarkets pay the same manufacturers to put their labels on stuff.
Tesco seems to be the best for own brand stuff. Asda i think is relatively worse. Sainsburys are over rated. Aldi is ok for some stuff. Alot of the stuff in aldi is better for you as its more continental, but like all continental things, they have that added foreign taste.

No I find a lot of own brand produdts are fine.
Asda seem to be the best. But I will only eat Heinz Baked Beans!!

No - in fact most are made by well known companies and packaged cheaply for supermarket chains. Some items like shampoo sometimes are poor quality but not always. Aldi shampoo is quite OK. Stick to name coffees though.

depends on what it is.... some products seem the same (like bottled water or canned veg)... sometimes branding is just a marketing ploy to think a product is better than it actually is, but some people have a taste for certain's brand's products...

It depends on the product. I once worked for a company that made "no-name" cleaning products - washing powder, detergents, soap - you name it, we made it.
The quality of the product was what the supermarkjet asked for - they asked for junk, we made junk. They asked for quality, we made stuff to almost beat the brand-leaders.
These things are cheaper (we preferred the term "less-expensive") because of the savings in branding, advertising, etc.
Some own-brands are good.

I will only buy own brands for things like pasta (dried) baby wipes that sort of stuff, I know Heinz is more expensive but I also know I wont waste it.

No, I buy nearly all Tesco own branded stuff, even their Blue Stripe Value is ok (I live on a very tight budget!). I find Asda's taste cheap though.

I purchase some Tesco and Asda own goods and to date have been ok with them.
