Default What are some things you buy generic?
What are some money saving things that you buy the generic brand of?

Personally, I have found that there is virtually no difference between generic contact solution and name brand solutions. A name brand bottle goes for $7 or $8 and a generic (target brand) bottle is usually $2.50. Same thing with cereal, they tast almost exactly the same and you can save quite a bit by buying generic brands.

Prolly aging myself here, but does anyone remember generic beer? Came in a white can with a black label that said "BEER". There was a whole line of generic items.

Nah, it was a national "generic" brand released here in the states. Might have been the mid to late 70's.

Most supermarkets here sell their own brand as well as own brand 'Value' range of goods. Some Value items I cannot tell the difference between the Value and branded, like Value Tuna which is about 45pence a can instead of double that for a branded can.

However, the Value lager is about the vilest I have ever tasted, and at 2% volume it would impossible to get drunk on.

I like the generic tums, the ones that when you open the bottle up, the generic tums say "tums" on them....

Oh god no. [no] That's what I call being a cheapass.

4 cans of Carling for £3 is far better IMO.

Drugs, typically about 40% cheaper for the ones I need most often.
