Reply to comment by Slypenslyde in ELI5: if it's cheaper for stores to sell store branded same item why won't they fully/dramatically abandon name brands? by Then_Mountain_9893

> other times they perceive real differences in quality between name brands and store brands. So if people really want Ritz crackers and not an off-brand, they'll stop shopping at a place that doesn't sell Ritz.

Off-brand Cheez-its are trash. I will die on this hill.

Yeah I picked Ritz because it's one brand I'll stick with. I got the store brand once and they were actually really good, but apparently I picked an above-average box because the next three were flavorless and bad. Went back to Ritz because the worst box of Ritz is still better than the average box of store brand.

Yeah I’ll give store brand anything a try, but I often find there a noticeable quality difference, usually in favor of the branded items.
