In this economy everyone is wanting to save money where it’s possible. If you are a broke girl like myself, you are ALWAYS trying to save money. Now there are many things that when it comes to I may be very particular about. Example: jeans. I love abercrombie & fitch jeans. I am so particular about jeans that they are one of the few places I am willing to buy jeans from. I would rather spend the extra money and have the quality. Not to mention I am short so I need different lengths in jeans. A&F happens to be one place that carries petite jeans. Needless to say with the price that jeans from there run I haven’t bought a pair in quite a while.
What about food though? What items are we willing to go generic on? I started pondering this as I got ready to crack open this delicious beverage. That’s right, that pop right there is called DOCTOR. Not Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb or Dr. P. It is just straight Doctor
. The name alone seems ridiculous I suppose. You know what though, it is a great generic version of Dr. Pepper. While it is not exactly the same it is so close that I honestly don’t even notice the difference. Plus with the price $1 something for a 12 pack you really can’t beat it.
So what items, food wise, are we willing to go generic on? I know, I will not do generic on Mt Dew for example- I have never found a brand that taste even close. I also won’t do generic on toiletries. Most potato chips though I will.
Going generic can be very efficient and a great way to save money, but sometimes you sacrifice quality and taste along with it.
What great or horrible generic food products have you found?
