Sometimes, store-brand groceries are just as good as name brands. And sometimes, they’re even better than the products they’re duping. Target’s Good & Gather and Favorite Day products are no exception.
The Target generic brands are not only affordable, but the lines are delicious, whether we’re talking snacks, pantry staples, easy lunch-prep finds and more. Here’s what you should look out for the next time you’re perusing down the superstore’s grocery aisles.
The #1 Dessert to Buy at Target, According to a Food Writer
8 Target Dupes to Buy
Classic Guacamole Mini Cups
Dupe for:Wholly Guacamole Classic Mini Bowls
Here’s the deal: I used to pack the Wholly Guacamole individual guacamole cups for lunch every single day. It has that classic, fresh flavor, and the mini bowls are an easy way to pack fresh guacamole to enjoy wherever you go. So when I found out that Target had acheaper dupe, I ran to my nearest location, and I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy of its flavor and texture when compared to Wholly Guacamole. I mean, the nutrition information and ingredient lists are identical, so Good & Gather really hit the nail on the head.
Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers
Dupe for:Ritz Cracker Sandwiches with Peanut Butter
I try to make my ownpeanut butter sandwich crackersat home, but when I’m in a rush or on the go, the pre-packaged ones are just as good. I’ve always felt like the Ritz sandwich crackers slacked a bit when it came to the peanut butter serving in each bite, but theGood & Gatherratio is just right for me. Plus, Target’s dupe has 40 fewer calories per serving thanRitz’s productand is low in added sugar according toEatingWell’snutrition parameters. Healthy snacks for the win!

Pepperoni Stacker Lunch Kit
Dupe for:Lunchables Pepperoni & Mozzarella with Crackers
Nostalgia incoming: thisPepperoni Stacker Lunch Kitwill remind you of school lunches. But this dupe is like Lunchables for the expanded palate. The quality of the pepperoni is so much better than the name brand, and it comes with provolone instead of mozzarella, which just makes more sense for stacking on crackers. Between this and the Ritz’s peanut butter dupe, it’s safe to say that Good & Gather’s cracker products are worth the buy.
Traditional Kettle Chips
Dupe for:Kettle Brand Potato Chips
I usually gravitate toward classic potato chips, but I couldn’t get enough of theseTraditional Kettle Chipswhen I first tried them at a social gathering. And when I learned they were a Good & Gather product, I was pleasantly surprised. They tasted better than most classic kettle chips I’ve tried; they were simple, not too salty and had the perfect crunch. I have bought and finished multiple bags of these chips since.
Sea Salt Roasted Whole Cashews
Dupe for:Planters Deluxe Whole Cashews
As a cashew lover, it’s so hard to find whole cashews that are affordable, so I love the budget-friendlyGood & Gather Sea Salt Roasted Whole Cashews. Cashews are great for your skin, so as someone who struggles withinflammation in my face, I love snacking on a handful of these nuts almost every day. I’ll uselightly salted cashewswhen I dip clusters in dark chocolate during the holidays. Yum!
