Try generic brands of items you buy regularly. Instead of just picking up the ordinary brand of an item you buy, try out the store brand or generic version of the item. Likely, you’ll save a few cents now, but you’ll also likely discover that the store brand is just as good as the name brand – the only difference between the two, often, is the marketing. Once you’re on board the generic train, you’ll find your regular grocery bill getting smaller and smaller.

Unless you’re in a small town grocery store… I’ve run into the scenario where I usually get generic, especially things like baking supplies, but because of a coupon, name brand is cheaper – and then I check the expiration date. Turns out everyone buys generic and the name brand sits on the shelf for a very long time!
