You guys buy branded ketchup? Its Aldis store brand or nothing for me.

I only buy fancy shit now and just eat less of it, like stokes and a couple of local ones.

All that own brand stuff is just tomato juice concentrate with a load of thickening agents plus sugar and crap to make it taste like something. And Heinz was always overly sweet crap anyway.

Aren't you contradicting yourself if you only buy aldis store brand?

Heinz > Store brand > Hunts, i buy generic mustard and everything else unless there’s a good sale.

Hunts truly is garbage tier.

It's a bit of a long drive to Aldis for some of us, I don't know which country the closest one is in. Most people probably just buy what they grew up on. For me that's Felix so I guess you could say it's European, but Orkla is publicly traded so it sorta loses all meaning.
