I oftentimes laugh when I am shopping at my local store as I know when a meal or baking is done what the problem could be in doing this as doubt anyone can tell or if there is a difference that I made this with generic eggs for say 1.29 a dozen rather than those fancy eggs with a little stick-on at about twice as much. Doubt it.
Find a local closest to home discount grocery.
Stock up on staples and store them appropriately. If you bake, store brown sugar with a piece of bread in it to keep it soft, replace it if you need to. Lots of items can be stored in freezer bags of the appropriate size, spaghetti, macaroni, etc. Better than the bag it comes in. Get those generic too.
I buy all my paper items in bulk - much cheaper to buy a 12-roll of TP on sle definitely than not. Just make sure its not single-ply!!

buy generic
I buy generic. Will try anything once and if it is too nasty, not use it again. I now buy generic laundry soap (who can afford to pay $12 for a bottle of Tide or Cheer?), generic soups for cooking. I have found some things actually taste better than name brand. I used to only buy ground sirloin for hamburgers...that has stopped.
My only advice...do not buy generic toilet paper. It is useless!!
I was also on clonazepam (generic) and
I was on it for nearly 10 years. Initially it was given to stop muscle cramps and spasms from my kidney disease. I was only on 0.5 mg a day for all those years. I stopped taking it cold turkey not knowing it was a drug you could become addicted to. I experienced agitation, neuropathy, hypersensitivity and it lasted roughly a week and a half. It was bad! When I next talked to my Doctor, he about freaked. He told me that drug is NEVER cold-turkeyed, but one must wean from it, because quitting it could cause seizures and other side effects up to and including death. I'm glad I'm off it though.
Just be aware that no matter how small the dose, when you stop it, WEAN!
A Little Sexy which is the generic for Red
Whenever I wear it I get complements too.
Second-hand and generic items
I am shopping for second-hand items at resale shops and buying only sale and generic items at the grocery store. I don't drive as much or as far as I used to to shop. I am working more hours, although for less pay as an MT.
I think the the crooks (politicians) who put the American public in this position should be prosecuted.
Zyrtec...generic..is good, sm
I also use Benadryl severe allergy and sinus (if you get the one w/o the sinus part listed it doesn't do much). Try saline nasal spray too, but don't use something like Afrin for more than 3 days in a row 'cuz your nose can get hooked on it.
I had sinus surgery about 10 years ago and my sinuses are even worse now. They're somewhat better now since I'm away from the humidity of FL, but still horrible. I also use Nasonex RX 'cuz that's the only one w/o a nasty aftertaste.
Generic Zyrtec is good.
Take it at night cause it'll make you sleepy.
Maybe as soon as you wake up, you can take some Benadryl (or generic), that helps me. nm

I just thought of a great generic gift
for secret Santas and/or acquaintences. It's not very personal... My daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas and there's really nothing I want besides winning the lotto, so I thought of the last thing I wanted to buy at the store, but didn't because I'd already reached my budget... okay this is very not sexy lol... I'm slowly replacing all my regular light bulbs with the those new energy-efficient fancy expensive things, So I told her to buy me a couple. An inexpensive, useful gift, that sends a Green message! Being a messenger of Green, I thought I might pass the suggestion to all of ya'll who need an impersonal but useful gift for someone. hoho ;-)
read somewhere generic is not as effective as brand name
no msg
I just paid $4.50 for a gallon of generic brand in Wyoming, nm

Save your money - just buy generic Benadryl (same ingredient) unless you have pain.

Generic corn-chex cereal, milk, & a cup of coffee. (nm)

Try Benadryl, the generic is cheap. Works great, not habit-forming. NM
