Does buying generic products really save money? That’s one question that plagues our frugal minds as we press on through our financial journey toward independence. In this episode, we duke it out over the differences in price, quality, and perception when it comes to generics.
Mr. MMM and I stand on opposite sides of the consumer spectrum when it comes to this debate and we’ve engaged in an all-out battle royale, okay, that’s a little over the top, but it certainly sounded good. Instead, we engaged in a friendly debate where we have agreed to disagree about financial wins that come from buying generic products.
No doubt, you have your own opinion when it comes to generic products versus name brands. Feel free to leave them in the comments or send us an email with your input. Who knows. One of us might change our minds!
As for now, kick back and prepare to be entertained as Mr. MMM and I duke it out over which one is better and whether or not buying generics really saves you money!
