It’s also not even the cheapest. A lot of food at ALDI is both cheaper and of a better quality.

Edit: I like the alternate opinions, like where people say what things in Great Value they still like. We do still buy a few Great Value things, too!

    Yea due to all of the gum they add to it. Not the best thing for your stomach. It doesn’t exactly represent “great value”.

      I mean, pesticides, preservatives, and shelf-stabilizers aren’t bad. They’re good. It really just depends on what you’re using to do those things. A lot of the time additives are harmless. Ice cream stabilizer? Harmless, serves its purpose well. Soy filler in your frozen beef burrito? Harmless cheapening additive, and it’s still food.

      I know corporations suck, I know that they do all sorts of dirty tricks and get away with them. But I really dislike the demonization of food— which is also a kind of ignorance that many food labels use to sell you their bullshit.
