I'm dubious about "pet shop" generic hamster food - you never know if the quality is consistent or even if it's the same each week and, if it's "bagged up" in the shop there may be issues with storage of the main batch and contamination. Also hamsters have fairly specific protein requirements and the cheaper own brands probably don't get that right either - though that's just a guess from looking at the info onthe cheaper pre-packed foods.
I give mine daily veggies - well about 5 times a week and, though some people consider that too much, I've never had a problem. I try to vary it as much as possible - mine love courgette, carrot, red or yellow pepper, broccoili, brussel sprout etc
