Do Store Brands Save You Money?

Do you buy store brands?  In some instances store brands can save you money.  In others they do not.  It really all depends on the prices and coupons you may have, but it pays to compare.

I noticed an extreme difference in the product pictured above at Walmart.  Regular Gas-X was $4.34 and the store brand was $1.28.  Same size, same everything!  The difference in price....$3.06.  It would take a high value coupon to beat that.
