I don't think so most of the time. I use coupons when it is something I specifically want, but otherwise, generic is almost always cheaper. What about you?

Yep, if you can wait and use your coupon with a sale, I usally find product cheaper than store brand. And one of things I like about shopping a 'real grocery store' as opposed to Walmart is I find alot of thier name brand products become loss leaders and become CHEAPER than a Walmart price or a store brand.

I think it depends on the situation and that you need to check the prices on an item by item basis. I do agree that I'd rather go to Aldi's and buy my staples there. Then I don't need to hassle with clipping, sorting and remembering to use my coupons. I am not great about doing that. I mostly shop at Aldi's and at a local store that has great prices on meat and produce. Between those two places, I cut my grocery bill by at least a third.
