I used, and for the most part, enjoyed brandless food products. Decent quality and fair prices ... then they started advertising too many non-food items that were very obviously cheap, low quality mass-produced in China items. I knew this was the beginning of the end for them. Iirc, a $8 “santoku” shaped knife at one point. Super cheap frying pans and kitchen tools with outrageous “mark downs“ ... a “pro blender” was:$180 now:$90. I stopped buying altogether and had not thought about them until this posting.
