...often the private labels don't look noticeably cheaper. Consider the sleek, dark 16.9-oz. bottle of Ariel Extra-Virgin Olive Oil for $4.29. (A 17-oz. bottle of Bertolli's extra-virgin costs $9.69.) "You wouldn't be embarrassed to have that on your counter," says Bill Bishop, a retail consultant...
