I do buy a lot of things that are store brand, but I also look at unit prices, how much you get in a box based on the price, and how much the stuff weighs. Sometimes buying store brand only LOOKS cheaper. Sometimes buying the name brand is cheaper because you'll spend a few cents more, but you'll get one or two more bars the than store brand has. This is my only pet peeve with blindly buying store brand. Look at the unit price before you make your decision. It will take longer, but I've found I save money when I do that.
