Generic brands are a bargain shopper's best friend. Consumers can save lots of cash during a weekly shopping trip to the supermarket, and those shoppers on a tight budget certainly appreciate that. While finances dictate what many consumers purchase, there is no reason for even the wealthiest buyer to purchase the expensive brand name of some products.
Coffee Filters- Coffee filters are coffee filters. The cheapest brand filters coffee the exact same way as the more expensive brand.
Cooking Oil- Ladies and Gentleman, grease is grease. It all clogs arteries, and causes tight pants.
Rubbing Alcohol- For treating cuts and scrapes nothing does the job like good old rubbing alcohol and a bandage.
Petroleum Jelly- Petroleum jelly has a wide variety of uses from eye make-up remover to lip gloss. There is no reason to spring for Vaseline brand when the generic can be purchased for less than half the price of Vaseline.
Medications- If the active ingredient is the same why not? It is advisable to ask a health care provider before initially using a generic product.
Pantry Staples- Sugar, salt, and flour are all regulated by the federal government, so why buy Martha White or Betty Crocker instead of the store brand.
Yellow Mustard- For corn dogs and hot dogs nothing beats yellow mustard. It all basically tastes the same regardless if it's French's or Kroger brand.
Baby wash- Wal-mart brand baby wash is fabulous. Use it on the most sensitive of baby (and adult) skin and save over half the cost of Johnson's.
