They use the same ingredients in the store brands as the main brands.

The only thing I've had from them that wasn't all that good was a frozen pizza. My husband made sure he told me he wanted a frozen pizza and well, it was disappointing :(. Their store brand and generic brand (store brand is Southern Home and generic is called Clear Value) is good with every thing else though :) I have found that many of the store or generic brands at the grocer I regularly shop at (Bi-Lo) are every bit as good and sometimes even better than the national brands.

One of my friends use to work for a company that sold salad dressing to Wal-Mart. She told me that the great value wal-mart brand is usually one of the top 3 best selling national brands, but with the wal-mart great value label on it. We have found this true on a lot of this, like the apple juice tastes exactly like motts! I usually buy store brands. One of my friends use to work for a company that sold salad dressing to Wal-Mart.

In my experience about 75% of it is the same quality and on occasion, better! Didn't know there are Aldi's in the US . . . . wondering if they're the same as here in the UK (German owned?)

Many of their items are better than the name brands available at regular grocery stores. I second Aldi’s. Many of their items are better than the name brands available at regular grocery stores.
