the essence

Generic is not always a good deal...

Here are two cans of black beans, the first generic (Target) the second brand name (Bush's).




Now, the generic is supposedly 15.5 ounces & the brand is 15 ounces...notice how many more beans the brand name has???

The nutrition is better with Bush's, too.
