How long of a list would you like?
I have found Shop Rite and especially Wegman's to have consistently good store brands. There are even some items that we prefer the store brand.
My wife will only buy Shop Rite pretzels. No Reisman or Rold Gold or any other national brand. She also won't buy any other store brand. Has to be Shop Rite.
I think Wegman's yogurt is as good as Dannon or Yoplait. It is actually the same price as Yoplait but I still buy the Wegman's brand, so cost isn't an issue.
We also buy Wegman's pita bread, orange juice, breakfast cereals and many other items.
I also prefer Wegman's version of Chex Mix, mainly because it has about 20% less sodium than the brand name. The brand is just too salty for me.
There are plenty of others, but those were the main ones that came to mind.
