Try generic brands of items

CFCCU Money Management Tip of the day:

Try generic brands of items you buy regularly.

Instead of just picking up the popular brand of an item you buy, try out the store brand or generic version of the item. You will save a few dollars, plus you’ll discover that the store brand is just as good as the name brand – the only difference between the two, is the marketing and price.

Once you’re on board the generic train, you’ll find your regular grocery bill has gotten smaller.
