Could be twice the amount when getting store brands instead of luxury brands.

While your point is well taken, luxury brands?

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

luxury brands?

When the product isn't really that good but you pay a lot more just because there's "Oreo's" written on the product for example.

[–] neptune@dmv.social 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That's normally called Name Brand, what you are referring to is store brand, which is usually cheaper.

Oreos are not a "luxury".

They are if you eat them with your pinky up

They also aren’t a necessity.

Yes they are lol. What planet u live on?

There's only 2 options luxury and staple.

Oreos sure AF aren't a staple

Yes, cookies are not a staple, but oreos are not a "luxury" brand. Eating desserts may be a luxury, however.

Sure. But luxury and luxury brand are too different things. Like ice and ice cream.
