This is a fun topic, but I must disagree with some of your findings:
TP - Kirkland is thin, uneconomical stuff. Because of this, you must use more, so it costs no less than Charmin, which I prefer. I never buy any other brand so I don't know about them.
Nuts - I have bought a few store brands of nuts, and they can taste stale, musty, or just lack flavor. I never find this is the case with Planters or Fisher nuts.
Chips - Again, the flavor is not as full as name brands, like Jay's, Lay's, etc. EXCEPT for Trader Joe's Classic (or whatever they call them). To me, they taste just like Lay's.
Pork tenderloin - Fresh from the Meat dept is always better to me. The packaged loins from Smithfield and the like are injected with a salt solution for flavor and to preserve them. This makes the meat spongy and too salty, while tasting bland at the same time. Odd.
Ice Cream- There IS no other ice cream other than Haagen Daaz to me.![:happy]( "smile")
Otherwise, I agree with your other items, and you can save money buying store brands or others there.
