Money Saving Tip #14
Buy Generic
Try some of the generic items next time you go to the grocery store. We use generics most of the time and don’t miss the name brands. Unless you or your guests are connoisseurs of fine dining, they will not know if the green beans were generic or a top name brand. Once you add some butter, salt, and pepper, no one will know the difference except you – and you can save 25% to 50% per can!
Most people do not realize that many generic brands are actually manufactured by name brand companies, but branded with a different name. In fact, companies such as those that make snack foods often have conveyor belts that run side-by-side (one for the name brand and one for the generic brand). This is quite common and the only difference is the label and price. So try generic and enjoy the food and the savings.
