I buy only a very few things at Walmart and have found the Equate brand to be roughly 10 dollars cheaper then the Clartin brand with the same active ingredient. Go to the hunter section for long johns and they are much warmer than other stores and are the same price. I buy my meat at Sam’s Club and save a few bucks with the Premier Membership on drugs and other things. I shop about 4 stores where I know the name brands are cheaper. Only buy what I need each week and no impulse buying.
You’re using common sense and a practical approach.
Well done!
