9 Ways to Save Huge on Your Food

9) Buy Generic

Many people have a problem with buying generic foods. The word generic in itself isn’t very well represented in our world, as it resonates more as “cheap”. However, despite its bad reputation generic simply means the food relates to a type of food, rather than the quality of food.

For many products you are getting the exact same item, for others you are getting a similar or knock-off item. The food may not taste much different, and the nutritional value is generally identical to the brand name version, yet the cost savings can be huge. Many generic brand items are half the cost of brand items. Foods such as cereals which often come in bulk bags as a generic item, can save you even more money.

This savings also resonates with medication, protein powders, and other items you might regularly buy at the grocery store.
