I buy a lot of store brands, but I also buy a lot of name brands, depending
on what the item is. I'm fussy about V-8, though. For me, at least,
nothing else quite compares. I also like it with a splash of
Worcestershire sauce.

I've learned which store brands are at least as good if not better than the
name brand items.
