Generic vs. name brand food?!
Generic vs. name brand food?
How do I tell my dad that I hate shopping at the generic brand grocery store, cause the food is discusting.
I've talked to him about it but he just doesn't get it.
He thinks there is no difference, I mean he grew up in the 60's and so he is a cheap-o. But I'm not.
Answers:
There are some things that are different, but you have to figure out which one you like the best, don't just depend on the labels.
You can do a taste test with different brands and generics with your dad. I used to do that all the time with my kids. They like the canned pasta from Aldi better than the Chef-boy-ar-dee and it was a lot cheaper, too.
For instance, spaghetti sauce, buy several different bottles (the small ones) and heat them all up separately. Make sure you keep track of which one is in which pan or bowl. It can be a fun thing to do and you will both get to figure out which ones you like the best.
