Honestly, a quick monthly pulse survey (even 50-100 respondents via Pollfish or Typeform) asking 'what snack brands did you buy last month?' goes a long way. Also, mine your Amazon/retailer reviews and watch the sentiment shift on Reddit communities in your category — people openly trash or rave about switching. Social listening tools like Brandwatch have cheaper tiers, but even manual Google Alerts on competitor brand names can catch early signals.
