Most people don't realize that they spend hundreds or even thousands of 
dollars a year buying the heavily advertised (HA) brand products in the 
grocery and department stores. There is nothing in the grocery or 
department stores that is rocket science. Many of the less advertised (LA) 
brands or store brands are just as good or better compared to the HA 
brands. You are paying for the brainwashing that many HA brand 
manufacturers put in their advertising campaigns. It is not difficult to 
make shampoos, conditioners, cleaning products and all those other products 
that can be found in your local grocery or department store. Why are you 
paying 4+ dollars for baby shampoo when you can buy the less advertised 
brand for half the money? Do you like wasting money? If the HA brand 
products are better why would companies be spending billions of dollars in 
advertising? The answer is that they are not better. They are trying to 
convince you that the high price they are charging is some how justified by 
a better product. If they were better they would not need to do the massive 
advertising; social networking would sell the product. Many times they are 
using terminology that means nothing. Even over the counter drugs like 
aspirin can be bought for half the price of the HA brands. This is a 
product that has been around for decades. The LA products are under the 
same FDA regulations as the HA brands. Save a lot of money and don't buy 
the over priced HA brands. 

When you pay the higher price for the HA brands you are paying for the 
ridiculous high salaries of the CEO's, private jets, golden parachutes and 
for the billions spent on advertising.

Every time you go to the store you can save several dollars. Over time this 
can amount to a significant amount of money.
