Answers:
Not a lot of difference, I once worked in a warehouse, that put labels on cans from different Supermarkets, and guess what!! they all had the same cans say peas, the cans were loaded on the conveyor and you stuck lables on them at the end!. How many for one store, change labels to another store brand and on you went!.
Some may have a diffence in sauces, then they are labeled seperately!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think it depends what it is because at the end of the day you get what you pay for!

Things like bread, meat, chocolate, coke, some sauces you can really taste the difference but when its things like vegetables, fruit, biscuits, rice, pasta washing powder, cleaning products, i don't think there is much in it i always buy the own brands of these unless there is an amazing offer on!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think on smoe things you can really save money by buying the ownbrands!.
I buy own brand kidney beans for chilli con carne , lots of supermarkets do own brand bags of fruit and veg and even things like fresh mince , morissons do a value range and the 500g pack is £2!.00!.
If you hunt around you can get a good bargain!.
Some things you jst cant get away with the cheap stuff , such as baked beans and tea bags ive found!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have to admit I am a bit of a food snob, we live very close to a ASDA supermarket, I will not buy anything which bears the ASDA logo ( their own make )!. My partner and I both like curries!.!.!. he went shopping one day and brought back 2 ASDA curries!.!.!.!. they were gorgeous !Www@FoodAQ@Com

the taste is in direct proportion to the amount of money you have, we started on organic , happy eggs, and loved by farmers, now we are broke , its back to basics, it all tastes the same to me except beans , Heinz for me every time Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah i agree store branded food can most of the time be better, although some food i only like proper brands, such as baked beans only heinz for me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree totally!.!.I don't really think that there is a taste difference between a name brand and an off brand like Great Value! Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sometimes they are I agree!. Just try them out and if they are not better try other brands!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i tend to like branded better,but it could all be in my head and they in fact taste just the same!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

not alwaysWww@FoodAQ@Com
