By using manufacturers coupons, you can usually buy brand name groceries for a lot less than store brands. Store brands are not always a cheaper buy than brand names, especially with groceries.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to interject with that little gem next time one of my smart-alec co-workers says something stupid.

This is due to molecule orientation. All proteins in the body are left handed, and only left handed molecules react with them. The name brand medicines contain mostly left handed molecules, but the generics are usually made with cheaper processes that do not filter out the right handed molecules leaving you with a 50/50 split. This does not mean you can take double though.

But it makes a lot of sense to spend extra where there is some perceived value, and opt for the cheapos where it doesn't make a difference.
