Bob's

Ok...Bob's isn't real or at least it hasn't come into my house yet but all the sudden I am seeing all these different brands of product that have never been in my house before.

Why?

Well, my wife isn't very happy with the place we used to shop so she is venturing out to many different stores.  This is new as we pretty much always shopped at the same store chain no matter where we moved.

And it's weird for me!

It is funny how accustom you get to particular items.  I've always said that humans are creatures of habit (I'm sure others have said it too 😀) and I think I am a case study in this now.  My mom also used to purchase from the same store chain so practically my entire life has revolved around this one chain and the line of products they sell.  Now, I'm seeing a different brand milk, cottage cheese, oatmeal...everything is different!  And I wonder if they'll be any good.

Of course they will be (for the most part).  A lot of private label brands are produced by the same manufacturer.  But it's just a bit different.

This is a good lesson in brand loyalty
