Being the smart saver and investor I am, I decided to do a little experiment to save money at the grocery store. I will hopefully be changing and continuing the experiment to get the best bang for the buck. And since I've saved so much at the grocery store I will then invest those savings.
I use to just go through the grocery and buy anything that caught my eye, spend on the fancy stuff just because I wanted it and it was something I needed, duh. Oh, wait most of the things I bought were not the best for the value and I did not use everything so wasteful as well.
So from now on, I will be buying more generic items unless the generic item is not up to par. You cannot sacrifice everything in life. Real Coke cannot be beat and KIng Arthur Flour blows away everyone else. But I think things like paper products, canned goods, and other choice items might be just as good and maybe the same people make both brands. Then it would be silly to not buy the cheaper brand. So far my experience contains only toilet paper and paper towels. Neither of which have done poorly but I will say the paper towels are little thiner but not terribly. They still get he job done with no change in amount of paper.
I want to hear your experience with generics and trying to save money at the grocery. Maybe your tip can save me money now and earn me money later. Happy investing.
