Topic: There is no good reason to buy brand products any more

Supermarkets like Aldi and Lidl have their own brands and every single one of them is as good as or better than the famous brand that does that type of product. You also get more, for cheaper.
For example, instead of buying Kellogg's Corn Flakes 500g for £2.25, you can buy Harvest Morn Cornflakes 500g for £0.79. They taste and feel exactly the same.
Or, instead of buying Heinz Tomato Ketchup 650g for £3.39, you can buy Bramwell's Tomato Ketchup 650g for £1.03. It's even nicer than Heinz.
Need to groom? Lacura Men's 5 Blade Razor Refill 4 Pack is only £3.99, and does just as good a job as Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Skin Protect Regular Blades 4 Pack for £12.50.
Everywhere, people are complaining about food prices going up, food quality going down and especially about shrinkflation. They wouldn't have these problems if they stopped simping for the cheating, rip-off major brands. Open your eyes!

@previous (boof)
i tried grass seeds last summer, theyre ok
i agree op, Quaker changed their oatmeal so it’s artificial tasting its gross, might as well buy store brand
altho i had crap quality noodles from TJs the other day, not enough fat n oil so thats a rare L for them
its just corporate greed, dont buy into it.
I find a lot of these brands hyper-process their foods and they feel cheap, even though you're paying premium prices. For example, I had a Mr Kipling mince pie at Christmas and they were absolute dog shit compared to Asda Extra Special brand, and twice the price.

if you live near a coast, you can get a good load of meat if you capture a seal. now, with the oil from the seal, you can preserve many plant food sources into the winter. Almost all of the coniferous trees are edible. But not the yews. Those fuckers will fuck you right out
