To go with the other post, what items do you get where you look for the generic brands? (lemmy.ca)

Can't say for sure if my circumstances are the same as yours, but here it depends on the store and the product.

If you go to a grocery store, for example, chances are they'll have a few generics for the same type of food. Usually there will be at least the standard, an organic/natural alternative, and maybe something really bottom line. And then of course varietals of a given product, like different types of bread, which may have different "brands" despite all being from the same supplier.
