My favorite peanut butter is Crazy Richard's. It's 100% peanut butter and no additives. It can be drizzled or put in the refrigerator to bring to spreading consistency. I'm with you on finding the best product for the money. There are many store brands that are as good name brands. I think we pay for the name as well. Years ago my younger brother worked at a cannery. The cannery would run the generic brand and then switch the label to the name brand but the product didn't change! Crazy!

Good Evening

FSI, I buy a lot of store-brand items, but I do like to buy my dairy products from Giant Eagle.  I won't purchase them from discount stores.  I hope you have a good evening and a great weekend.

I usually like the same brands I normally use. For me, sometimes store brands don’t matter but sometimes they do.

I usually buy the same things, I did notice today I have a pot of Ginger and one of pickled Walnuts. Well one cannot eat them with Pigs in Blankets .

I get that. I do the same. I buy Giant Eagle's store brand peanut butter for my birds. I use it to make their suet cakes, which also saves me money over purchasing suets at Walmart. When it comes to name brands versus stores brands, I am a stickler when it comes to some dairy products. I only use Daisy sour cream and Chobani yogurt.
