Panburger Partner?

Let me start off by saying that I am a cheap skate. I don't get wrapped up in all of the marketing hype behind name brands. I know just like many of you that most of the same products are made at the same plant and shipped away with two different labels. One name brand and the other "Brand X". So if I see something that is cheaper and looks the same I will buy it. A classic example..... Hamburger Helper. I am a Hy Vee Man. They are by far my favorite super market. Along with Hamburger Helper, they have there own brand called Panburger Partner. Folks, if you look at the ingredients....It's the same thing! You are paying extra for Hamburger Helper's ad campaign. So the next time you are at the store and have a choice between a name brand and "Brand X", save yourself some money and put your pride to the side!
