Sometimes store brands are supplied by the established brands - the only difference is in the name.

Substitute for branded goods 

The range of store label goods has really developed over the last few years and so too has the quality. Most non-branded goods will cost a lot less than branded goods. Often we are just paying for a recognised name. It is worth giving non-branded goods a try and if you don’t like them, you can always switch back but you might surprise yourself and you could save a lot of money in the process too.
