I am always happy to see this product on the shelf because they usually cost significantly less than the usual name brands. They are exactly the same or better quality pickles, and I would like to think I am a good judge of that as I eat a lot of pickles, and because I can my own pickles every summer. While I would like to always have my home canned pickles, this is not always possible when we run out of them before the next crop is in. When this happens, I always buy the President's Choice brand when possible because the price and quality combined make it better than any other brand.
