Why You Should Be Buying Generic Food Labels

On average, you can save anywhere from 15% to 30% or more by choosing generic brands over brand-name foods. 

This can add up to significant savings over time, especially if you regularly purchase a variety of grocery items and are serious about saving money at the grocery store.

This article will show you the best generic brands to buy at the grocery store and why it’s beneficial to save.

Want To Save On Food Costs? Buy Generic

Buying generic labels can save you money because they are typically less expensive than brand-name labels.

Generic labels often offer similar quality and functionality as brand-name labels, but at a lower cost because they do not carry the same brand recognition or marketing expenses. 

By opting for generic labels, you can reduce your expenses, especially when buying in bulk.

At the grocery store, some popular generic label brands, also known as store brands or private labels, include:

  1. Kirkland Signature (Costco)
  2. Great Value (Walmart)
  3. Market Pantry (Target)
  4. 365 Everyday Value (Whole Foods)
  5. Up & Up (Target)
  6. Trader Joe’s (Trader Joe’s)

These brands offer a wide range of products, including food items, household goods, and personal care products, often at lower prices compared to national brands.

Final Word

Generic brands often offer similar nutritional value to brand-name foods but at a lower cost. By saving on food costs, you may be able to afford healthier options, such as fresh produce or lean proteins.

Taking care of yourself financially is the #1 way to live better later in life. If you do so, you can save money on travel, what you pay at the grocery store and other expenses.
