Did you hear the one about President Donald Trump having an imaginary conversation with Theodore Roosevelt? As it turns out, the farfetched scenario was absolutely true, even though the 26th president has been dead for over a century.

Store brands have improved dramatically. Generic medications, pantry staples, frozen produce, and many household essentials often deliver similar quality for a lower price.
Shop smarter, not by brand. Compare unit prices and ingredient listsyou may be paying extra for a familiar label rather than a better product.
Some categories are still personal. Coffee, cereal, ketchup, and certain snacks may be worth the splurge if you prefer the taste or performance.
Private-label products have come a long way. From pain relievers to frozen vegetables, many store brands now rival national brands in both quality and performance.
That doesn't mean every generic product is automatically the better buy. While some categories offer virtually identical products at a lower price, others still have meaningful differences in terms of taste, performance, and ingredients.
Here's where store brands can help you save money, and where paying extra for a national brand may still make sense.
Over-the-counter medications are easy savings
If you're still buying brand-name pain relievers, allergy medicine, or heartburn medication simply because you recognize the name, you may be spending far more than necessary.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires approved generic medications to contain the same active ingredient, strength, dosage form, and intended use as their brand-name counterparts. They must also meet the same manufacturing and quality standards.
That means store-brand ibuprofen works the same way as Advil. Generic acetaminophen contains the same active ingredient as Tylenol. The same principle applies to many allergy medications, acid reducers, and cold medicines.
The biggest difference is often the packaging, and of course the price.
Pro tip: Ignore the logo on the front of the box. Turn it over and compare the active ingredient panel. If the ingredients and dosage match, the generic version is often an easy way to cut your pharmacy bill.
Pantry staples rarely justify paying extra
Walk down the baking aisle and you'll find national brands sitting next to store brands that often contain nearly identical ingredient lists.
Products like flour, sugar, salt, rice, dried beans, pasta, oats, baking soda, and canned vegetables are commodities. Most shoppers would be hard-pressed to notice a difference once they're incorporated into a recipe.
