I’m brainstorming a list of food brands that are a good value as part of research for this year’s Frugal Festival. An announcement about the date, location, and theme of this year’s event is coming soon!

In the meantime, let me know which food brands you rely on to save money at the grocery store, warehouse, or other place where edibles are sold. Beyond generic brands, which are often a great deal, what labels do you like because they mean value, in your mind?

Thanks for your help!
