20 Ways to Cut the Cost of Shopping - Tip #10

Generic is the "In Thing"

There is nothing wrong with buying generic products. The only thing missing is the pretty packaging. Whenever it is possible for you to pick a generic product over a name-brand product, learn to reach for the generic one. The ingredients are mostly the same although you may choose to add some of your own spices to the food products. The savings you will get is far worth the tap on the back of a saltshaker. If you are not sure how you feel about generic products, think about the medicine that you get and the cost differences of generic medicine over the non-generic medicine. The difference is astronomical! Food products are not quite that dramatic of a difference but over time, the savings are substantial. Previous Tip | Next Tip
