I've yet to find a store where I like _all_ their store brand products, but
I agree that Kroger tends to be better than most. I generally suggest folks
try 1 can/box etc of an item in the store brand (getting the rest of the
cans etc by brands since you generally get 3-4 at a time) and see if that
one works. If it works for you, swap when it saves money. Be sure to do as
Dmitri says and check unit prices. Sometimes a sale can make the store
brand more expensive.

Not all our tastebuds are the same so a product that works for _me_ in a
store brand, may not for you.
