When staring at the numerous different brands of products and their prices on shelves at the supermarket, you have to ask yourself: Is one product really better than another? Am I paying for product that tastes better? The truth is, in many cases, you are paying for advertising and packaging. Personally, as a consumer, I'm tired of paying corporations advertising bills.
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
Does everyone know that RAGU actually makes Wal-Mart brand spaghetti sauce for $1.00 a jar (it's very good)! And with the recent recall of Peter Pan peanut butter, it became apparent that PP makes Wal-Mart's peanut butter also. Do people have other info about specific products, store brands and who makes them?
The Target brand diapers are Pampers at least they used to be, i still think they are though. Most mac and cheese is produced in the same factory and packaged differently. And Thermasilk by Helen Curtis is made by Suave. If you want to find out more research the companies on the label try to find the parent company then you will know.
Both my husband & I'm sure that Target's Market Pantry Salsa is the same as Pace Picante Sauce, which we totally adore.
At Walmart, McCormick makes the Store Brand Spices; you will save so much by purchasing the store brand spices. My daughter was a Walmart Associate in the grocery department when she was in college.
Can anyone tell me who supplies Walmart's "Great Value" Hazelnut Coffee Creamer?
Thanks
We are regular shoppers in Krogers and several years ago, up popped kroger Mayonnaise on the shelf "Made by Hellmans." After a couple weeks the "made by Hellmans" disappeared and it was just Krogers Mayonnaise. I recently purchased some Hellmans that was on sale, took it home and compared it. I sure couldn't tell the difference. They tasted identical to me.
My next-door neighbor's son is a Mobil oil distributor, he says Wal Mart's store brand full synthetic motor oil is the same as Mobil 1. The difference in price is about $4 per quart. I don't know about the other store brand motor oils Wal Mart sells, just the full synthetic.

Can anyone tell me who makes Presidents Choice Infant Formula? I was told it was actually made by one of the name brands.
Hello Rebbecca, I don't know who makes it, what I do know is that a friend of mine that is pharmacy school and will graduate in one year, used walmart's brand of baby formula for both of his amazingly smart infants. He told me that ALL infant formulas are basically the same, that they MUST meet federal requirements. my grandchildren are breastfed, but occasionally, when my working daughter doesn't pump enough milk for the babysitter, they use walmart formula. All of my eight grandchildren are healthy and smart after being breastfed and using store brand formula.

Recently my associates and I taste tested peanut butters. The group conclusion was the Target product was most preferred. Who manufactures this product for Target?
Several years ago, I went on a tour at Anderson's Pretzel factory in Pennsylvania. They make pretzels for many different companys, including Slim Fast.
I work for a trucking company that does a lot of loads for many companies and I've learned over the years that many store brand items are indeed made by name brand manufacturers but packaged in "cheaper" formats. For those of you that are asking who makes Wal-Mart's creamers, many of them are made by HP Hood in Winchester, VA. Sam's Choice Sodas are made by Cott Beverages. Most store brand vegetable oils are made by Lou Ana, a division of Ventura Foods. Ventura also manufactures Hidden Valley Ranch dressings, as well as the store brand versions sold in Wal-Mart, Aldi, Target, Winn Dixie and most grocery stores. Benson's Bakery as well as HC Brill make most "Grocery Store Cakes" that you see in the round containers in the bakery sections of grocery stores.

The Flowers Bakery makes a lot of store brand breads. The store brand bread for Walmart and Ingles is the exact same as Nature's Own except the store brands have thinner bags. This is at least true in the Southeastern portion of the country.
Autozone motor oil is made by exxon; so same oil, different bottle.

Who makes Great Value Parboiled Rice?
Who makes Walmart ice cream?
Great Value is Walmart Ice Cream's brand but it is made by Wells Dairy. Here is the history:
blog.walmart.com/
Walmart does not always stay/stick with the same company for their Great Value products as companies are allowed to bid every so often (1-5 years) but their Great Value ice cream is an exception.
Who makes their brands, specifically soups and broth?
One of Safeway's brand distributors is by far the largest known. It is Lucerne Foods. This is one of the store brand manufactures for Safeway. The rest of the store brands are manufactured at the same manufacturing company as other store brands use. They are called Store brand manufacturers. They are companies that large chain supermarkets go to to have their private labels added on cans of food.
In truth, there are thousands of companies that have hundreds of different categories for large chain stores to select from. The market selects it's product and the manufacture will add the label to this product and send it off to the store. So you see these are also generic store brand manufactures.
So if you buy one generic brand from Safeway, it is possible if you go to Vons and buy their generic brand they both come from the same Store brand manufacture. Only the labels added to the can are unique and the food in the can is the same for everyone who orders from them.
Who is the maker of Walmart labeled butter?
Here is a quoted answer but I believe the products will have different product codes in different parts of the country as it is common with almost all Walmart products to have several distributors. Walmart works on contracts and these can expire (and not be renewed) and a different company chosen.
"According to the dairy code, it is made at California Dairies, Inc. - Visalia. According to the code 06-17652, that is where it's made. Most dairy products have the code somewhere on the package, including milk. Go and find where all your dairy products are from, regardless of which brand you purchase. You'll be surprised to find some of the "no-name" brands are products of the leading dairies."
