The Biggest Mistakes To Avoid When Grocery Shopping At Walmart – Mashed

Walmart has several store brands, including Great Value, Marketside, and Equate, and the quality is usually on par with that of nationwide brands. Depending on your tastes, the food from a Walmart brand may even seem a little better. The store brands are much cheaper than their brand-name counterparts and provide affordable options for people who can’t spend that much on groceries. Unfortunately, many see store brands as lesser generic versions that aren’t desirable.

If you’re a shopper at Walmart, you’re making a huge mistake by not trying the store brands. You don’t have to like them, and you can switch back to brand names if you prefer. But give them a try, and then you may save money while still having tasty food. Some products, like Great Value cream cheese and Bettergoods cinnamon honey butter, have already garnered a following.

Walmart just added another store brand in May 2024. It’s called Bettergoods and is geared toward shoppers who prefer more “chef-inspired” foods. Fast Company notes that the labels are reminiscent of Target‘s Good and Gather brand; Bettergoods appears to be a competitor for that customer base. The store has also expanded its organic produce offerings.
