I would say pretty much anything. The only time I got a cheaper brand and absolutely hated it was when I saw a pack of Bar-S hot dogs for like $0.60. You know how the stereotype is that hotdogs are made from feet and assholes? Those Bar-S fuckers tasted like they actually were.
Sometimes the off brand is even better than the name brand. Oreos, for example, are way better than Hydrox.
I'll go one step further and say some of the generic store brands are better. Sring cheese I find is often better when it's store brand or a generic brand. Tends to be lower fat which makes it denser, more stringy, not just a stick of mozzarella.
Kroger zesty dill pickles blow all other brands out of the water. I don't know how they do it
While my original comment was being funny with it, I truly do think that is the case with some brands. I love the Dollar General brand of Pop Tarts more than actual Pop Tarts (the pastry bit is softer and the insides taste more like preserves than artificial jelly) and many of Great Value (Walmart's food brand) items are loads better than the name brands, like Doritos, Little Debbie's, juices, etc.
