Brand names products
What do you usually buy when you go to the grocery store? A box of Barilla spaghetti for $1.25 or a generic brand for 87 cents? Thrifty shoppers already have the answer to this question long before they set foot outside.
For frugalistas, the best choice is the store brand over the brand name, any time, any place. There’s only one exception to this rule: if the brand name product is on sale, that’s when it’s perfectly ok to buy it. Otherwise, the opportunity to save a buck or two will always trump quality. And in most cases, the two products have the same ingredients, for a much lower price.
