When it comes to grocery shopping, there are certain things that I refuse on buying the generic ‘store brand’ of, but there are a lot of things that I DO buy. I do a lot of my shopping at Walmart. Sure, we may have to drive 33 miles to get to our ‘local’ Walmart store, but we prefer to drive further to get the better deals and the better products. I will be honest and tell you that when Walmart first changed their packaging, I did not like it at all. It has since grown on me. There are a few packaging that I think needs a bit of work on, but overall, the food products are still the same and we still love them!

Here are some of the new packing that we had a chance to try out, and yes – even though it has new packaging, we still love the cookies, crackers and even the cereal. I really love the packaging of the cereals. The images are captured beautifully!

Seriously – who can deny the packaging on the classic shortbread cookies?? The packaging on this one looked nice.

When your kids go to pick out their cereal, they want to see images on the box, don’t they? Aren’t these great? I thought the packaging on these were nice and easy to find in the store.

These are literally my favorite cracker out there but the packaging needs some work. It (to me) looks too ‘generic’.

Makes you want to get a glass of milk, doesn’t it? I liked the packaging on this one, but in the store, it blended in too much with the other white packaging of the cookies in the same aisle.

I will be honest and say that I am not a huge fan of the packaing, on all of the products. The cereal, I did like. The cookies were good too, but I did not like the packaging on the crackers. When we were in Walmart today, we passed on the GV brand of veggies because:

1. the packaging didn’t appeal to or the kids. They chose the name brand because of the label.
2. the price was just a few cents (like 9 cents difference) off from the Great Value packaging
3. it took us too long just to FIND the canned vegetable that we were looking for because of packaging, so we stuck with the name brand because the label was easier to read (in my opinion)

Some of the things like the cereal was easy to find, but things like crackers were not to easy to read. Actually, all the white boxes started to blend in with each other. They are still good products, but I think some of the packaging needs to be reconsidered. Maybe different or more images on the packaging? I don’t know.

What do you think of the new Walmart packaging? I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!
