Would agree except for Sam's Member Mark Ultra Prem. It's all we buy, even their paper towels. Now if not near a Sam's it's Charmin and Bounty.
Also, some pop-tarts don't measure up but a couple do.
OT: Things that the store brand equivalent is not equivalent

Put them in the ol Amazon cart this afternoon after you posted. Unfortunately, it will arrive after Christmas so I can't wrap them up for the wife.
Only half joking.
Was an Angel Soft man as a bachelor because of my father. Wife converted me to Cottonelle "Clean." Purple package...I finally learned.
Many grocery stores already sell “Mexican Coke”. A full on replacement with sugar was never going to happen. That was just another in a long line of Epstein distractions.
The Kroger brand kitchen garbage bags are really good. They’re just as good as hefty.
Aldi pop tarts are great, but the flavor choices are limited. My kids will eat the strawberry but they prefer cherry (which Aldi doesn’t sell).
They won’t eat the actual Pop-Tarts brand.
Another thing they’re particular about is Cheez-It. It’s name brand or nothing for them, and they can tell.
I’ve gotta say, Whataburger is every bit as good as any ketchup out there. The spicy version is literally otherworldly. Now, the rest of their food is nothing I’d ever brag about, but their ketchup is sublime.
Aluminum foil................Buy the Reynolds and be done with it............
Just discovered making our yearly breakfast casserole that Kroger brand crescent rolls suck donkey balls. Everytime we went to the store they were out of Pillsbury.
I was in DG yesterday and they had a whole case of them. Say that to say for all the fun people have at their expense, they have a lot of things in there you might not expect. I'll stop in and check if it's an item or 2 and don't want to drive all the way to the "real stores" if I can help it, forgot something and don't want to go back on the way home or in this case they were out of something. I have a couple near me (shocking I know) I use fairly often.
Examples over the years -
Duct tape, including the good stuff Duck/Gorilla and selection was damn near good as Lowes. Command Hooks too.
Kroger was out of mineral oil so I stopped by DG on the way home, bingo
Hand mixer broke on Thanksgiving day ran up to DG and sure enough. (don't use it but once or twice a year but actually still running 8 years later)
Just sharing if folks aren't inclined to think about shopping the DG and when their prolific number of locations can come in handy.
I'm not a ketchup guy, but I like Hunts more than Heinz.
The Tupelo stores had Hyde Park everything. We ate a lot of it. For some reason I think Malone and Hyde that used to be at Green and Eason distributed that.
That is Coke imported from Mexico. Coca Cola has agreed to sell cane sugar Coke through US Bottlers. In theory, it would be cheaper than Mexican Coke, but if they are claiming cane sugar supply issues, then maybe not.
Hyde Park was the store brand for IGA stores in the 70s and 80s. My grandmother bought all their stuff.
I was shocked too. I think Hunts is one of those things like Duke's Mayo. Once people actually compare them, they will be shocked that they like it better. Do the test yourself.
You haven't lived till you've tried the Honey Nut or Apple Cinnamon Cheetos.
Helluv a Good Dip is hands down the best onion dip.
The huge commercial rolls at Sam’s Club is good foil and it lasts forever.
This is EXACTLY why it will move in the rankings. Life-changing knowledge is shared here ******
I bought some of the helluva good dip hot honey. It’s really good with a kick to it but I regretted that decision later. Had the reflux from hell.
Also the burnt ends dip at Walmart is straight fire. Love that stuff.
It seems like they are putting less and less cheese on the doritos nowdays. They are not very good to me at all.
You have to get the purple package. Blue will work in an emergency, but purple is the way to go.
