This is part of a 13 day, 10 step system to lower your Michigan grocery bills.
This is day 9.
At the bottom of this article is the complete list of days & steps in case you missed any.
Step 8: Generic Brands are Good Food Too
Most Michigan grocery stores offer their own versions of many of the brand name products they have on their shelves.
Most Michiganians are aware of this in the medicine aisle and will buy the generic headache pills over the name brand because they all have the same exact ingredients at half the price.
This happens with food as well. One of the most well known products this happens with is cereal. As we all know cereal is crazy expensive and kids will go through a box of that stuff in a matter of hours if we aren’t careful. When shopping look at the item you are about to grab off your list and see if there is a store brand version for it.
More times than not, the store brand versions are just as good as the name brand version and normally at about half the price. You should give these brands a try. Just by switching to generic brands on a few of the items on your list, you can take a massive bite out of your Michigan grocery bill.
Now, there are some things that generic items just won’t do for some people. For me it’s coffee. I will not buy generic coffee and that’s all there is to it! If you have one or two items you feel strongly about, it’s ok if it’s limited to only a few select items. I look at it like this: Life is too short to drink bad coffee and you may feel that way about sliced cheese, ice cream or something else. If so, it’s perfectly ok to have one or two “I will not settle for less” items on your list.
