Store brand stuffing mix blew up my whole dinner plan last Tuesday

I was all set to make my usual cheap chicken and stuffing bake, under $5 for sure, and grabbed the store brand box instead of the name brand to save like 60 cents. Big mistake. The seasoning packet was basically dust, and the bread cubes soaked up way too much water, turned into this gluey mess that stuck to the pan. I tried to fix it by adding more broth and butter but it just got worse, ended up eating the chicken plain with some frozen peas. My wife said it tasted fine but I know she was lying. So is it really worth the extra 60 cents for the name brand every time, or did I just get a bad batch? Anyone else had a store brand fail that ruined a whole meal?
