A lot of basic foods, for instance: tuna, Pop Tarts(toaster pastries), Frozen Veg, Dry Pasta.
The store brands are so much cheaper and often higher quality.
Disagree on tuna and especially for Pasta.
For pasta if you want to have a bite to it (al-dente) and not become soft you need to get a good quality one. Doesn't need to be a lot expensive, but typically Italian ones are safer in this front. Better ones are bronze extruded as it leaves the surface that is porous. If that is not important to you, then ignore:)
Anything that comes in light creme color and over 14% protein usually is pretty decent.
Don't know about the rest but canned tuna has an enormous taste difference. Try a good 10 USD can!
The stores I go to do not even sell $10 cans of tuna. Rich people really do live completely different lives huh.
There's also ethical concerns regarding sustainable fishing practices.
It's depressing that most responses ITT ignore sustainable or compostable products that can cost a bit more. Also super depressing that people are going with the cheapest ultra-processed food options. Seriously people, you've got to take better care of yourselves.
We would if we could afford to
Malt-O-Meal cereal is often better than the name brand and even comes in a resealable bag.
