All groceries. It might be a surprise to some, but generic brands are usually very good in this area. My approach is to always buy the generic first, and if it’s not good enough then try a name-brand.
For foodstuffs I wouldn’t even notice if something was not good or a brand would be better. Unless the brand is cheaper, I’m pretty much always getting the generic. It’s still ridiculously expensive.
Generic canned corn has worse color and flavor and more husk pieces than green giant fresh select. Basically the same as regular Green Giant though. If they made a premium generic canned corn I’d be all over it.
Frozen corn is where it’s at quality wise. Most frozen veggies are better than canned (if you have the freezer space). I keep canned around for the zombie apocalypse.

I just get bagged frozen corn (Great Value/Walmart), is that an option?

I always get generic peanut butter. If I get Skippy it tastes different, but I stop noticing after the first second.
Giant store brand cottage cheese is my favorite, maybe tied with Penn Maid. But it’s much better than Hood or Daisy.
Also cream cheese. Giant is a bit more tart than Kraft (aka Philadelphia).
