That is where my concern lies Eric. When I was your age you purchased the off brand staples for no other reason than to cut the grocery bill. There was a very clear difference in quality and you knew you were missing out. Now it is hard to tell the difference in many products. There is little room to increase the costs of the brand names when it becomes necessary. They seem to have little choice but to acquire up and coming products and hope they can expand the market share with their marketing power with consumers and the grocery chains. The shelf space wars are brutal as I am sure you are aware.
