WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT SUPERMARKET HOUSEBRANDS : THEY ARE NOT INFERIOR GOODS

We used to work in design and packaging. Believe it or not, supermarkets have deals with leading brands. They buy their products and repackage it. This makes sure that both the brands and supermarkets are profiting. If you do not buy the leading brands, those brands are still profiting from you buying supermarket brands. Think twice the next time you are at the supermarket, you could be saving a lot in the long run switching brands.

Here is what we gathered:

Generic brands of consumer products (often supermarket goods) are distinguished by the absence of a brand name. It is often inaccurate to describe these products as "lacking a brand name", as they usually are branded, albeit with either the brand of the store in which they are sold or a lesser-known brand name which may not be aggressively advertised to the public.^{[citation needed]} They are identified more by product characteristics.

They may be manufactured by less prominent companies, or manufactured on the same production line as a 'named' brand. Generic brands are usually priced below those products sold by supermarkets under their own brand (frequently referred to as "store brands" or "own brands"). Generally they imitate these more expensive brands, competing on price. Generic brand products are often of equal quality as a branded product, however, the quality may change suddenly in either direction with no change in the packaging if the supplier for the product changes.
