My friend's one comment about my grocery budget saved me $60 a month

I was complaining about my food bill being too high and a buddy from Austin said, "You're buying too many name brand snacks." I switched to store brand chips and cereal and now spend about $60 less every month without really noticing the taste difference. Has anyone else had a small change like that add up fast?

Did you try the store brand snacks all at once or swap one at a time? For me it was switching my coffee creamer from the fancy flavored ones to the store brand plain vanilla. Saved like 5 bucks a week which adds up to 20 a month. Also started buying store brand almond butter instead of the expensive brand and that was another 8 a month. Little things really do pile up fast when you stop paying for just the name.
