You can, if you put it aside and then forget about it. I put my offering back first and then what I want to save. The more you make the more you spend. Likewise if you cut back you adjust. Besides, generic ketchup is not bad. Too much sugar in the stuff though :')
The exact same sweters were sold to each of the chains with the exception that sizes were more perfect for McGregor.
The McGregor sweaters, at retail, sold for nearly twice as much as at the "cheaper" stores.
Since that time I learned that many of the "branded" products are made at the same plant, with the same ingredients, samo samo, as the "store brands".
When shopping for food I always try the store brand at least once. If I don't like it, it is crossed off my list.
There are a few, very few, "store" products which aren't as good and some which are better than the "brands". Two examples:
Wheaties is my breakfast. Nothing else touches Wheaties.
Tomato Soup. The store brand, in my store at least, is much better than Campbells.
Anathema!
The next time you go to a decent restaurant, take a look at the Heinz label for its point of origin. There is simply no other acceptable ketchup in these parts.
Reggie is right, though, that many store brands are near-indistinguishable from the famous brands. We use many such. But, some things are just non-negotiable. Peanut butter is another, my wife will only buy JIF.
