Personally, I think Aldi cereals are subjectively tastier than Kelloggs, and objectively healthier in most cases. What other foods come to mind?

We all know that many generic or store brand products are actually name brands just packaged differently. Does anyone have a list, or can we make one, outlining which brands do this and what they are repackaged as?

So something like:

Similac infant formula = little journey formula at Aldi (This example not confirmed but highly suspected)

I tagged this as food shopping but this doesn't have to just be food products.

I've been investing in plant-based foods for over a year and a half and have done quite well holding. I bought VERY and BU in the open market and held both for multi-baggers. This year, I was able to buy Plant Veda (MILK.C) at $0.85 and was able told sell a little over half of my position at $1.65 (currently trading at $1.75). I was able to buy Nepra Foods (NPRA.C) at $0.47 and sell enough to recoup my investment at $0.75.

It's obvious the trend from consumers is moving towards healthier food options which has accelerated the adoption of plant-based food especially after BYND brought so much media attention to the sector.

The next plant-based deal I am interested in is ‘The Planting Hope Company” which will be listing on the TSXV under ticker MYLK.

>> Plant-based Food Businesses Are Exploding With Growth <<

Food manufacturers ranging from start-ups to industry leading CPG (consumer packaged goods) companies as well as the world’s largest meat companies are innovating rapidly in the plant-based market. Next-generation plant-based meat, egg, dairy, and snack products are increasingly competitive with animal products on taste, price, and accessibility. Distribution is expanding, and a growing number of mainstream consumers are buying plant-based options. In the U.S., 98% of people who buy plant-based meat also purchase conventional meat.

>> The Planting Hope Company (MYLK.V) – Healthier & Sustainable <<

So, what makes MYLK unique and sets them apart from its peer?

MYLK was started privately over 4 years ago where product development and proprietary formulations and ingredients were combined to create MYLK’s flagship brand – ‘Hope and Sesame Sesamemilk”. MYLK is also the FIRST commercially available sesame milk worldwide! And there is A LOT to li

2. PB2 peanut butter powder. Two teaspoons with a little water makes a good amount of peanut butter and is only 50 calories! I buy on amazon.... And if someone is really ambitious/charitable maybe a spreadsheet with all the info?

I love to make craft products as a hobby. I prefer the Camlin (Krafty word is more famous) glue stick and glue over other products. The shopkeeper near my house knows this and keeps them in stock. Today I went to a different shop and asked for Krafty glue, the shopkeeper gave me fevicol, as I am used to this by now. I politely told him that I wanted Krafty glue instead, and he said, yeah, that's what I am giving you. I again told him that it's a different company, and then he took 2-3 minutes to tell me that all the glues are basically the same, and when I didn't budge, he asked his worker to get the Camlin fevicol. I waited quietly as I was not in any mood to correct him now and bought the glue and was leaving when I overheard him saying what a crazy guy.

The same thing happens with me when I go to get Top Ramen instead of Maggi. Here the difference isn't much as top ramen isn't readily available that I am used to eating Maggi by now. The part that bothers me the most is that even my friends and family say that he likes top ramen Maggi instead of top ramen or top ramen instant noodles.

Is it just me, or does it bother other people too?

Maybe we can help each other out by listing the different items that are known to cause eczema breakouts all in one post

Mine was whisk detergent, and Downy fabric softener.

Most guys will do anything for their gal, including picking up “lady products” at the store. Make it easier on them (& you) by giving them a picture of what they need to buy. The choices can be overwhelming, so the picture narrows it down & helps to ensure you get the items you need.

I’ll start:

Toilet Paper and laundry detergent pods.

We all know that most generic medicines are the same or almost identical to name-brand medicines, and I'm sure several of you have found a food product that is near identical to a tasty name-brand. Kroger brand pickles are very close in taste to Claussen pickles, for example, as opposed to Dollar General brand pickles which could never be confused for almost any name-brand pickle. I'm curious is there is some resource that lists products that are near identical to their name-brand counterpart?

I used to work in a cheese packing plant and we would get huge blocks of cheese from a central factory and all we did was cut them down to size and package them with different labels so basically most cheese like Land O Lakes, Crystal Farms and Sargento (My local name brands) and most store brand generic cheese are from exactly the same batch all your paying for is the name. FYI thou far as i know Kraft does use its own i remember cuz it was a bit of pain switching from in house to Kraft. Also there is also a butter packing plant close by my hometown and somebody who works there told me its the same way with them like Grassland and the Great Value are from the same Source. So please save yourself some money and avoid the money trap that is name brand food
