A while back we bought the name brand organic spices that come in the little fancy glass bottles. Everyone at home was saying that the food tasted much better with them. Since then have I have just been buying the non organic Great Value brand and refilling the bottles nobody has even noticed.

one note about the toilet part, Angel Soft is not actually a generic brand. there actually a direct competitor to Charmin. they just use slightly different materials to achieve the softness it gets, but Charmin has angel soft like toilet paper as well, but they started making some after Angel Soft made headlines. still Charmin has more than one type of paper they use, some people aren't fans of it.

Doesn't matter if TP cost less if you have to use more! Husband tried to 'save' money by buying 1 ply and it backfired big time! We ended going thru 3 times as much so we went back to what we were using. I will try store brands and if I like them, I will continue to purchase them. Another tip if you heavily winch at the cost of fresh produce is to buy frozen.
