We live in a small rural town and the ONLY major store is Walmart so that is where I go. We buy their brand in SOOO much stuff.
A short list includes things I used to be quite "brand-snobby" about but have changed my ways. We are on a tight food budget and usually their brand is right around 1/2 the price - can't beat it!
We use Walmart's:
ketchup (can't tell the difference from Heinz now)
bread
chips
butter
toilet paper
sour cream (lowfat)
orange juice
milk
crackers and snacks (most are just $1.00 per box)
salsa (LOVE their lime and garlic!)
taco seasoning
pasta
frozen veggies
frozen french fries
frozen fish sticks
ice cream (certain kinds)
peanut butter
jelly
Okay, so maybe my list ISN'T so short. I just ran through their grocery section in my mind. I'm sure my cart has mostly their brand with a few things that I'm still particular about brand name - Mac n cheese, soda, trash bags, shampoo, paper towels. I truly used to be a brand snob but slowly and surely I would try one thing and then another and now we can't tell the difference anywhere with these things - except our wallets!
