How to know if Generic brands really are worth their money
14 years ago
So I'm getting a little tired of some generic brands that keep getting bought in our house. We are on a link card, and understandably on a budget.
Trust me I get it I don't mind cheeping out a little to save money. However, sometimes there really is a difference between name brands and the generics quality wise. And one of the ways I've learned to tell the difference is.
When you open the bag, shortly after you have gotten it, and all of the product (fries, or corn dogs for example) are all badly freezer burned? hunks of ice clinging to them, or embedded. And it makes them cook up piss poor? Yea stop buying it. The product itself may be only slightly 'lesser quality" overall but when it has hunks of ice you have to shave off, or whatever, in order to cook them, whatever method you use, that's not ok. At least in my eyes.
forgivably, every company has a bad batch or some bags are not perfect, so some are bound to be freezer burned, but when it becomes a consistent trend, then yea. don't buy it, maybe you don't care, I am more nitpicky than some with my food. It annoys me greatly when a fresh bag is opened and it looks like it's been open and tossed about the freezer for a few months, wide open.

2/3rds of what's advertised on corporate media, if it were actually a good as the industrial grade, let alone better, wouldn't logically have to be.
