Generic brands add up to huge savings

We all want the name brand jeans and other items in our life. It's how we are set apart socially. Those items can rack up big bills. Try buying generic. Start small, you can save big when you purchase your genetic brand prescriptions as well as groceries. 


Give it a try. The ingredients in mist items are the exact same. What raises our grocery bill is the "name" on the label. You're paying for the pretty packaging and the marketing if the iten itself. 

It's easy to compare each item side by side in order to see they are the same, one us always going to cost less, why not choose that one? 


Try it with peanut butter, cereal, etc. it's easy and it can become a fun game to see how much you can save on an item and on your all over bill.  

Once you get on track with buying generic you will save a few cents here and there and sometimes you will save dollars.  Compare your last shopping receipt with a receipt dull of generic goods. It's easy to see that the savings rack up. 

On average your grocery bill will decrease by 25%.
