What generic products do you swear are superior to the name brand? - Lemmy.world

  • Almost all paper goods, specifically Kirkland brand.
  • Canned veggies are all the same as well, so whatever’s cheapest
  • most dried herbs and spices
  • staples like flour, butter, sugar, oil, etc. they are basic and as long as you are getting the kind you need (like AP flour or dark brown sugar) there isn’t any room for differences that the average consumer could notice anyways
If you make bread you can tell a difference between brands of flour, and the more expensive stuff is usually noticably better.
I have heard that Canadian flour is better than American, so maybe that’s why, but I’ve never noticed a difference in flour brands. I’ve been baking bread for years and did it as a full time job for two years.
