Aldi sometimes has the quite good imported German and Belgian chocolate under their own label for very reasonable prices. Their German overlords don't like junky chocolate either.
I get my Lindt Chocolates and Ghiradelli chocolates at the 99 Only store. Much better than the Hershey stuff. Agree that the Aldi chocolates are as good as any.

Mr. Clean cleaner…love the scent of the green one.
Sponges…but even the name brand ones have gotten cheaper
Scott septic safe toilet tissue
Also chocolate for me. I do not like the cheap off brand ones at all. I did buy a bar from Aldi one time and it was pretty good. Sadly no Aldi's near me.
For store brand cereal, some are OK, although usually name brand is better. The quality of "their" cereal really varies from store to store.
I have had good luck with store brand potato/tortilla chips. Target's are good. One local supermarket's "brand" of chips says that they're made for them by Utz, and they're just as good as the "real" Utz products.
Other store brand things I will buy:
organic milk, creamer
organic butter
canned veggies
Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin
Store brands I won't buy:
yogurt
coffee
frozen waffles (only Eggos will do!)
cheese

Every Aldi I've ever been in routinely carries quality European chocolate.
This is probably a no-brainer but I've noticed that generic store brands are always less money than the name brand, even if you have a coupon for the name brand item. However, does anyone think specific name brands are better value or quality than certain generic items, and which ones?
Actually, I notice whenever name brand stuff is on sale, it's cheaper than the generic store brand. At least by me it is.
Generic TP is pretty awful.
