Sara Noel on trying out store brands
Sara Noel of Frugal Village focused her column today on how to introduce store brand (generic) products into your household. You’ll find the colunm on page 3E of today’s print and e-editions of The Monroe Evening News and at Sara’s web site.
A snippet:
When pressed for more information, the primary shopper admits that the pressure of other family members tends to enforce the decision to buy name-brand products. So how much more are folks willing to pay? $1? $2? $5? …
Test them at home. Don’t overwhelm your family by introducing the private labels all in one week. Try them one or two at a time.
Now, I am quite a coupon queen and love to shop the national brand sales. But generic / private labels are one of the crayons in my frugal living crayon box.
Did you notice that the hamburger I bought today was Meijer store brand?
