Yes, I do buy non-name brand items sometimes. And sometimes they are as good as name brand. These saltine, or soda crackers were not. However, I came across this pie crust recipe and what do you know? They worked fine in it...
Recipe for 2 - 8" pie shells
2 3/4 cups crushed saltines
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
Crush those subpar saltines using a rolling pin, leaving a few bits for texture.
Mix together with melted butter and sugar and press into greased pie plates. Not sure if I needed to grease the plates but I did. I used the bottom of a glass to press but buttered hands would work as well.
Bake in a 350 F oven for 15-18 minutes and now you have a use for those crackers that hubby doesn't like ; )
Fill with your favourite filling. Use with any recipe that requires a baked pie shell.
