not really up to date with corporate criminality so i'm just gonna assume all that sudden talk of no name is because they've been caught poisoning baby formula or selling arms to african warlords

No Frills has consistently always had the dirtiest floors of any grocery store I have ever been to. Every single one. I've been in cleaner farmers markets, and they don't give a fuuuuuuuuck about the ground. But No Frills takes pleasure in its filth. No Name and No Frills are the same thing change my mind

I'm pretty sure Loblaws sells No Name and Presidents Choice at all their stores, I haven't been to No Frills in a long time since none are nearby

I get groceries delivered now because I hated going grocery shopping before and now its 10x worse in my brain due to pandemic shitheads. Plus the place I go to is online only (spud.ca) so if you meal plan you have like a 99% chance of getting what you wanted and it hasn't been handled by like 40 people. apatheticman has issued a correction as of 18:48 on Jan 24, 2021 |

Same stuff but way cheaper. Although maybe different locations are hit or miss, I've never noticed one that's dirty.

weirdly enough I've had more bad experiences with President's Choice food than No Name but maybe that's because with no name i mostly stick to staples, ingredients, and canned vegetables whereas with PC i've tried some products like frozen pizzas or lasagna and been sorely disappointed

PC definitely suffers from being a bit tryhard and failing sometimes. Their jarred sauces for non-Western cuisines usually suck (but in the exact same way that any western brands interpretation of that kind of stuff sucks), where No Name wouldn't even bother trying to do something like that. Their mac and cheese is easily the best though (especially now that kraft dinner became total garbage somehow)

I'm always happy with eg no name tomato paste and things like PC dried or canned chick peas. The frozen peas and corn are fine too. Baking powder, flour, evaporated milk. Rice. Natural peanut butter. Many PC sodas (eg diet ginger ale) are actually quite good. I think that the quality of a no name or PC product is inversely proportional to how much salt they can get away with adding. Though no name saltines are adequate, too.

With frozen stuff the difference is often something like PC having broccoli florets while No Name has the stems included. The quality of the vegetables themselves aren't any different.

Used to work for Sobeys and I have to say, Compliments is hands down the worst store brand food. Without fail it was always worse than the PC version.

Ok yes, they made decent kettle chips. Most of their food is terrible, and they are an extremely exploitatively employer. I put in ten years total there, going from working several dollars over minimum to working at minimum wage. I've been working at a new company since September and have been promoted several times, now being in charge of my location...

I worked for them for two years, and yeah do they suck. They don't even give you a staff discount, which is pretty much the least a company can do.
