It Ain't Flashy...

But it certainly costs less.

You want and deserve the best for your family. Now, you can save money— without cutting quality.

Smart Money magazine says there are five products you should always purchase generic:

1. Produce: You can save up to 42% on strawberries alone

2. Coupon-scarce goods like butter, dry beans, spices and seasonings. You could save up to 77%!

3. Over-the-counter medications: The store brand is required to be just as effective as its brand-name counterpart. And the price difference can be astounding!!! $2 compared with 7!! I love it!

4. Canned fruits and vegetables

5. Pantry staples: Things like flour, salt and sugar are held to government regulations for production, packaging and storage. In other words, sugar is sugar, regardless of its label.
