Money Saving Tips: Use Generics

This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Most of you are saying, "Duh!" But I still think there is a stigma about not buying the "real" products and a fear that generics are inferior.

Recently I was given the opportunity to try one of Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products. They sent me their face wash which is comparable to Neutrogena's face wash. In fact, besides the label you would never know the difference between these products.

I've used Neutrogena's face wash for years, and if the two products were side by side without labels I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. The face wash gently removes all makeup and dirt while leaving your face feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

There is no reason to pay full price for products when you can get the same quality for less. If I don't have a coupon, I buy the generic brand every time. It's always less and with items like medicines the ingredients are often identical to that of the name brand item. And you save an average of about 40% on many of these purchases by going generic.

In addition all Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products are recommended by a Walgreens pharmacist, contain the same active ingredients as other brands, have a 100% satisfaction guarantee and contribute to the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™.
