    Almost anything.

    Also, do you have only one generic brand per store? Here there are often multiple, that are in competition with name brands of different price levels, so you have cheap name brands, and fancy generic brands. So that whole generic/name thing is kinda confusing to me.

      Can’t say for sure if my circumstances are the same as yours, but here it depends on the store and the product.

      If you go to a grocery store, for example, chances are they’ll have a few generics for the same type of food. Usually there will be at least the standard, an organic/natural alternative, and maybe something really bottom line. And then of course varietals of a given product, like different types of bread, which may have different “brands” despite all being from the same supplier.

        I meant more why people care as much, when the generic can be far higher quality than some cheap name brand. Name/Generic does not mean anything in such a case. It’s a bit like asking “what items do you get where you look for the purple packages?”
