own labels vs brands

[notthecod]

whicj brand do you think cannot be mathced by supermarkets own labels?
My suggeston
hellmans mayo

HEINZ baked beans

Alpen no added sugar (own brand in any supermarket is revolting)

bran flakes

definitely hellman's aswell

shreddies

but some supermarket own stuff is better than the brands. Not up with UK supermarkets now, but I used to really like sainsbo's washing liquid, and, erm, some other stuff I can't remember. Plus Tescos/thingy and Asda/George baby clothes are great. Do they count as own brands?

oh yes, sainsbury's italian brown rice. fantastic, and I don't normally like brown rice.

oh yes
prefer tesco wipes ( am so sad to reveal I have an opinion on wipes)

Fruit and Fibre cant be matched I dont think but Tesco premium nappies was as good if not better than Pampers/Huggies for my DS.

Heinz baked beans and ketchup, weetabix, full on original coca cola.

Marmite

is there such a thing as own-brand marmite?

Kellogs Cornflakes

agree on mayo and baked beans (especially baked beans)

pilot pens.

Refuse to have anything other than very cheap own brand muesli - because I like the added sugar and milk powder (I do have it with water, so I guess I need the flavour). Anything healthier and it's like squirrel food!

It's called Yeast Extract.

Coddy you're right about hellmans but yes, pretty sad to have a view on wipes! Bird's eye fish fingers are the only ones I buy. Heinz baked beans after exteinsive research are worth the money.

Hair conditioner, I think - I had been using cheap own-brands for ages until last time when I remembered a bottle of Andrew Collinge (?) I had hidden from the maurauding hordes, and it made such a difference.

or are we only talking about food?

Branston pickle
Maldon salt
HP sauce
Not that I've ever tried own brands of any of them so I obviously don't know what I'm talking about!

Boots Ibuprofen tablets are the same as Neurofen and are made in the same factory! Boots and Crookes are the same company.

I dont mind the m and s coke

Lol re nappies
if any of you go to france to not gett he " grand Jusry" ( think its like nisa crappy brand equiv) of nappies
they wre like a thong!

Weetabix make the bisks for all the major supermarkets.

ah yes
dh used to be in polythene (!) and sold to them
have I ever told you all the story about his visit to mc cain oven chips?
