We try generic every time we see it. The issue we find is their inconsistency, at least when it comes to food. One week the generic Saltines will be palatable, the next time they're horrible. Sometimes it's just too much of a crapshoot.

Some things we've decided never to buy generic again:
- toilet paper
- paper towels
- Q-tips
- facewash
- tomato soup
We've had some pretty terrible experiences with the above items in generic form.

Things we currently have generic in our household, that we'd buy generic again:
- beans
- rice
- lentils
- flour
- sugar
- salt
- baking powder
- peanut butter
- horseradish mustard
- American processed cheese slices
- white vinegar
- bleach
- baking soda
- frozen veggies
- parmesean cheese

One name brand we've found that is consistently cheaper than generics:
- Ajax
