It's funny how this turned out, because in Sydney (at least the part where I live), any generic supermarket brand is referred to as "homebrand" instead of "own brand".

Also, don't forget about "Woolworths select", which was no better than homebrand but the tubs oats came in made really good pantry containers, and so in my kitchen anything loose like rice or almonds goes in them.

I remember when it used to be called Black and Gold because those were the colours of the homebrand brand for Foodland.

As a kid I always hated having to buy that particular brand because it indicated to everyone that we weren’t able to afford “real” brands. (I’ve thankfully grown out of this mentality. Even now that I’m earning the most I ever have in my life I still try to stick to homebrand as much as possible)
