Once upon a time in England we had “No Frills” which was basically exactly that

remember when Tesco products were white packages with blue stripes?

When I was poor and unemployed in the distant past, I sustained myself on Tesco value pasta at 13p a bag.

I remember their orange juice being so thick and rich for something like 30p per litre. The richer parents bought the brands with pulp

I still stand by their Finest range of orange juice with pulp. Everyone else’s is shit.

Now they dress it up with fake farm and deli names. "Creamfields", "Hearty Food Co", "Boswell Farms". I am not fooled!

Canada still has No Frills, at least In British Columbia. They essentially get the leftovers the big-box stores don’t want.
