A cashier's four word comment fixed my coupon habit

I used to chase every 20% off code I saw, even if it meant buying stuff I didn't need. Last month at a Target in Austin, the cashier looked at my pile and said, 'You know that's still more than the generic, right?' She was spot on. Now I compare the sale price against the store brand before I add anything to my cart. That one comment has cut my grocery bill by about $40 a week. Anyone else had a stranger's throwaway line change their whole shopping method?

I always figured brand names were worth the extra cost just for the quality, but hearing it put that way makes me second guess all those times I passed up the cheap stuff. Gonna start checking the price per ounce on the store brand next time instead of just grabbing whatever coupon I clipped.
