Asda stopped selling their own cheaper brands?
Whether it is cornflakes, bake beans or whatever I can no longer find Asda own brands or cheaper brands on sale, which normally sell for at least half price. Plenty of bake beans for sale today but they are all Heinz. Now I was reading that supermarkets are cutting back on duplicate products so to ease the supply chain but are they cutting the cheaper versions to maximise profits?

NO, it's people panic buying the cheapest option first
Eight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens3 -
Possibly panic buying, but a recent Morrisons shop showed that people had cleared out all the "good" (branded) pasta, yet there was a whole load of the "Savers" pasta just sitting there. Of course, 2 days later, that was gone too
So people aren't necessarily buying cheapest first.
Before Covid kicked in, a number of stores were quietly reducing and removing their own-brand products.

Could it be that in many cases the different brands are actually all made in the same factories, just to slightly different recipes and price points ?In which case, if the factory wants to simplify / speed up production, it would make sense to just make a single brand that could be delivered to all supermarkets.4

Tesco normally stock something like 90 different types of sausages , that's likely to be reduced to around only 6 .
It's to increase volume of produce by avoiding shutting down the production linesEx forum ambassador
