    Sometimes store brands/generics have lower meat content for example, if you buy, say, meat balls or fish products. While other products are literally the same just with another logo. Always check the ingredients (at least in my country they give a lot of information)

        As long as your not a former roommate of mine. He would calculate price per slice of bread and buy the cheapest. He would do this for everything and would take hours shopping…

          Im not that bad but I do sorta consider it a puzzle game. Sorta a “fun” math activity to keep my brain active like doing suduko. Honestly I don’t see a point at price per slice as you would just get really thinly sliced bread. Should be per ounce. Honestly bread is one of those things I spring for the xspenciv stuff in the bakery section or I will do one of the fancy brownberry type with oats and nuts or potato.

            I understand where you come but I do sympathize with him(he had 4 kids from 2 mother’s so money was always tight). He took FOREVER shopping though.

            One time we went shopping together, I got all my food, checked out, drove home, put all my food away, took a shower, watched a show on Netflix, drove back to the store and he said “almost done, 10 more minutes”…
