We buy generic if it tastes good or provides the same service.
I don't mind the Publix Greenwise papertowels... but I won't buy the ones from Great Value again. No generic q-tips, TP, lunch meat, S's milk, cheese, eggs, alcoholic beverages or bathroom products as a typical rule around here (except the Equate version of Aveeno's bath soak, because it's actually 100x better for my skin and less clumpy). "Generic" to me isn't the same as "store brand" for a lot of different places. Archer Farms comes pretty dang close in most non-meat items and Publix's Greenwise items are often better than some of the name-brand stuff. Their toasted oats are waaaay better than straight up Cheerios. But I'd never, ever buy the Great Value O's again. Ugh. I guess a lot of it is trial and error.
