It is exactly like that.
It is much worse if I have my husband with me. He grabs lots of junk that we shouldn't eat.

yeah name brand items can cost 2-3 buck more for a single item and that adds up by the end of the shopping trip

Most of the time the items are made by the same company, just packaged under different brand names.
There are a few store brand/off brand items that aren't as good as the brand name stuff.
Kraft mac-n-cheese & Chef Boy ar Dee are better than the store brands we have here.

Can you give me an example of something that is made by the same company but sold under different brand names?

At the moment all I can think of is some of the medicines.
Example: Wal-mart has a store brand called Equate which has many different products, they don't manufacture all those medicines. They get the from the same place as the companies who put out products like Aleve & Immodium & Advil. Most of the time the products look exactly the same, color & size, just different stamps on them.
We even had one of the managers in Sams club confirm this.

My mind it too tired to come up with a better example right now.
I either need to go back to sleep for a while or get something to eat.

The bed is so warm I don't want to get up. It is the nasty rainy weather it is zapping all of my energy.
