I know this isn't shocking anyone, but I just want to say that Walmart's "Great Value" brand name is a fucking lie. "Worst quality legally possible, for cheap" isn't value— certainly not "great value"

It's also not even the cheapest. A lot of food at ALDI is both cheaper and of a better quality.
Edit: I like the alternate opinions, like where people say what things in Great Value they still like. We do still buy a few Great Value things, too!
It kind of brings to mind the unmelting icecream sandwiches. There's a lot of chemistry going into that food to make it edible for pennies.
That being said, I see a lot of families in that store scraping by and trying to feed everyone in the house and it's got to be hard to pass on a product that is often half the cost of the brand name.
Yea due to all of the gum they add to it. Not the best thing for your stomach. It doesn’t exactly represent “great value”.
I mean, pesticides, preservatives, and shelf-stabilizers aren't bad. They're good. It really just depends on what you're using to do those things. A lot of the time additives are harmless. Ice cream stabilizer? Harmless, serves its purpose well. Soy filler in your frozen beef burrito? Harmless cheapening additive, and it's still food.
I know corporations suck, I know that they do all sorts of dirty tricks and get away with them. But I really dislike the demonization of food— which is also a kind of ignorance that many food labels use to sell you their bullshit.
Wait so corporate America is lying to you? They are manipulating you? Shock. Total shock over here.
For what it’s worth, Walmart’s double raisin Raisin Bran is awesome. It’s so many raisins for maybe even less cost than normal Raisin Bran where they give you “two scoops” of nothing in a box.
Dude. Just buy bulk raisins.
So...buy name brand cereal and then buy extra raisins to add to it, vs buying the great value brand for less than the box of Raisin Bran?
Everything this toxic, parasitic Walton Corporation does and pushes must be taken in bad faith. They are a bloated, mindlessly greedy cancer on society.
So "gReAt VaLuE" is a scam with virtually no oversight nor protections towards consumers, employees and the community. No surprises there.Like all corporations
ALDI is not American. They have better quality for cheaper and they let their damned cashiers sit while they work.
It's easy to say "all corporations blatantly evil" when you've only lived in and experienced the US. Then something non-American is in America, but you don't know, and you already have the assumption made.
Not gonna lie though great value chips are really good. But I will agree most gv food is terrible
No idea what Aldi is but I've got some decent great value stuff. Their pizza and lasagna isn't bad. Also that equate brand they have has really cheap aspirin or face wash. Idk about the other stuff though.
Really depends on the product. Some products (generally the ones that are made from cheap ingredients) are of similar quality to global brands.
But obviously, on average cheaper products will be of lower quality.
the walmart peanut butter isn't bad, and it's still packaged in 18oz jars, not the shrunken 16oz jars nearly all others come as (18oz = 2 cups = two batches of cookies).
their version of coke zero is pretty decent, too.
Yee, but I find peanut butter very hard to eff up. It's just peanuts and oil. Anything else that does or does not exist in a cheap peanut butter will only change it a little.
ALDI doesn't sell clothes, bicycles, appliances, etc...
