Produced by Firecrest Films, “Secrets of Supermarket Own Brands” follows Denise Van Outen as she delves deep into the realm of own-brand products to unveil the truth behind the budget-friendly goods. She will uncover the details of the manufacturers behind some of the supermarket’s own-label products, including which brands produce these own brands. As the sales of in-house brands reach record levels in British supermarkets, this timely new series explores whether these more affordable alternatives offer better value and if customers can purchase them without compromising on quality. Could they be the secret weapon of a savvy shopper?
Denise will investigate the disparities between the cheaper own brand alternatives and the pricier brands. Through interviews with supermarket employees and manufacturers, Denise stumbles upon unexpected revelations about the brands. Alongside these major discoveries, the series features tips, tricks, and product reviews from the general public, aiding in making cost-effective shopping choices. The secrets surrounding supermarket own-brands will be unveiled in two parts: “Secrets of Supermarket Own Brands” and “Secrets of Supermarket Own Brands at Christmas.”
