There no doubt that home brands make up the bulk of the cheaper selection at the supermarkets. I understood that those were cheaper because of the saving on fancy packaging, but I don’t think that holds true anymore because the cans and boxes are just as colourful and fancy as the others.
I buy ‘Australia Grown’ generic brand products such as rice, oats, almonds and walnuts….which are of excellent quality and value.
I’m not happy with no-brand Pasta, it seems to be sourced from very low quality brands and also any savings get used up by the longer time it takes to cook.
Salt: I found I needed a lot more than usual, and also with black pepper
( wondering what were the ‘bulking’ ingredients?)
Biscuits have a lot more salt and fat, and so do crackers.
The list is long, it just takes a bit of patience to try and see what’s best for our taste and wallet.
