Description
Thirteen times at Walmart, the plain Great Value on the bottom shelf wins against the famous name one shelf above it. I stood in the aisle with one in each hand and turned them both around. On these thirteen, the price came down and nothing you wanted went anywhere.
📖 My mother's whole way of running a house is written down in one book, The Old Mexican Way: https://oldmexicanway.com
None of this is your fault. The famous box is at the height of your eyes on purpose. Nobody told you to look down.
The 13 (Great Value vs the famous name, walmart.com this week):
13. Pure vanilla extract, $3.38 vs $4.92
12. Chewy granola bars, 18¢ vs 27¢ a bar
11. Ground cinnamon, $1.38 vs $2.97
10. Vegetable oil, about $4 vs about $8
9. All-purpose flour, $2.38 vs $3.98
8. Ice cream bars, 12 for $3.14 vs 6 for $4.24
7. Meatballs, 23¢ vs 31¢ an ounce
6. Grated parmesan, about $3 vs $3.48
5. Butter, $3.06 vs $4.46
4. Party lasagna, $14.87 vs $16.48
3. Basil pesto, $2.48 vs $3.24
2. Vanilla ice cream, $2.50 vs $4.17
1. Sweetened condensed milk, $1.44 vs $2.32
My mother's five questions: what is it really, turn it around, read the words that are rules, the little number, and the family test.
Safety: buy pure vanilla extract from a store, with a label you can read. Some cheap unlabeled "Mexican vanilla" has been found with coumarin, which is not allowed in food in the US.
Prices are what walmart.com showed this week, some on rollback or sale. Your store may differ.
