To see how much cheaper generic groceries are versus name brand I put all store-brand groceries in my cart one week and name brand the next.

In a previous story, we calculated whether it's cheaper to buy groceries online or in person and laid out some strategies for saving at Whole Foods. But it turns out one of the most surefire ways to save at the supermarket is letting some of that brand loyalty go.

Hey, you can always go back if the generic stuff isn't doing it. Read on for a full savings breakdown of how much you'll save buying generic at the supermarket. You can also check out how much more it costs to buy organic , and how much your Starbucks habit costs you over time.

First things first, it's well documented that most major food manufacturers label their products under different brands, including generic or store brands. According to recent statistics captured by the Private Label Manufacturing Association, one in five store-brand products is manufactured by a private label manufacturer.

It makes sense: Those manufacturers can then appeal to people who are paying at either price. But they want you to go for the brand name price, rather than the store brand.

That's why advertising exists; to make you believe that brand name products are somehow better, when the truth is that identical products are often going down parallel conveyor belts, getting two different labels at the end of the production line.

Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that all store-brand, O-shaped, toasted oat cereals are actually General Mills Cheerios in disguise, but it stands to reason that for a lot of store-brand products, the quality or flavor is potentially equal to their name- counterpart.

And considering the opportunity for savings, they're certainly worth a taste test. While some brand-name products are unlikely to have a generic equivalent, like, is anyone seeking off-brand Cool Ranch Doritos? commodity items like canned beans or rice would seem especially safe bets in the store-brand category.

Trader Joe's beloved pepita salsa is just one example of a store-brand item that's gained fandom and loyalty all its own. Discount grocery stores such as Trader Joe's and Aldi keep their costs low because they deal primarily in their own brands. Wegmans is an interesting example since it has a lot of brand loyalty, not only as a grocery store chain but also for its Wegmans label.

Seriously, I know people who would cross state lines to stock up on its flavored seltzers.
