Great Value Chile & Lime Corn Chips were the greatest, but I don't think they are sold anymore.

I think their freezer bags are pretty good for the price.

They never have these at mine. I don't know if they don't carry them or they're just really popular and always out of stock.

I like these better than the Totinos ones. These have a crispier crust, and they taste a bit less acidic than other ones.

The sandwich bread. it is the right texture. Not too hard, not too soft. Usually fresh because it sells quickly and is restocked.

Rhett and Links years of taste testing different brands would indicate otherwise. I agree with them. Some products are okay but some are quite a bit worse. They usually mask the lower quality with more sodium or seasoning.

These things deepfry perfectly. Thanks for putting me on! Try a deepfry with refined coconut oil. Completely defeats the purpose of cheap nuggets but still lol

Their lactose free whole milk tastes better than Lactaid, and they definitely put something in the pineapple soda to make it extra addictive.

Also, unrelated: the frozen five cheese lasagna doesn't have any competitors as far as I know (I think Lean Cuisine discontinued theirs), but it's divine.

I can't really think of any that are better, so much as I just think they're the same (though that still makes them better from a price standpoint I guess).

They had a strawberry banana smoothie for awhile that didn't seem to have a name brand comparison that I really liked, but it disappeared a couple years ago. I guess it was most comparable to the Naked brand, but it was always with the other fruit juices, while Naked is up by produce.

Oh, I will say I'm pretty happy usually with stuff from the bakery. Their unfrozen take and bake pizzas are also really good for the price (though I usually add extra stuff on top before baking).

Honestly, the Great Value ice cream in the pints can go toe to toe with any name brand. Best generic brand ice cream there is.

For whatever reason their pistachios are great. Me and my wife personally think they are better than Wonderful or whatever name brand it's called.

It's the deli variety of Great Value but the Marketside dips are super good especially the Smokehouse Burnt Ends

Their wet wipes are way better than Wet Ones. There's more liquid in the container, and they're way more durable. Even the dispenser design is better; it's a half circle opening with a notch, so you can reach the wipes without taking off the top to feed them through.

(some) of their off the shelf cookies use different ingredients to the main brand that I'm not allergic to, so they win by default there. For me, their fudge stripes are aces.

I like Their cottage cheese and almond milk better than the name brand stuff, and other store brands.

And their tator tots, chicken nuggets and frozen pizza too, haha.

Their Almond Milk
Their Lunch meat
Their girl scout cookies and other pastries and after a holiday can be had for steals.
I also get their disinfectant wipes.
Also like their Cheddar Sour Cream Chips
Really, GV, and Market Pantry are slept on. Cheaper and just as good.

It's really strange to me but GV potato chips are better than Lays Classic. They each have 3 ingredients: potato, salt, and vegetable oil. Lays can use soybean oil and GV does not. GV is the clear winner on taste and costs much less.

This one is Equate not GV but I live off these things and very affordable compared to slim fast Meal Replacement Shake

Huh. I'll have to try some of the items mentioned above - I've not sampled more than a dozen or so or GV products but for those I have, Great Value has easily been the worst store brand I've come across.

Godawful sauces and dressings, the worst nuggets I've ever eaten and some of the most woody tasting frozen vegetables on earth.

Kind of impressive as most store brands are more mediocre than outright terrible. But maybe they just give us shit here in Canada.

I used their sweet chili sauce today. It was pretty good.

I was surprised by that when we first tried it, wife loves it, makes a great sweet chili wrap with shredded chicken.

Recently tried the "Medium" Restaurant Salsa....holy fuck it is way better than it has any right to be.
