We all have biases and allegiances toward certain name brands. But we fool ourselves into thinking recognizable brand names are higher quality than their generic counterparts, even when there's evidence to the contrary. If you're buying the basics, you'll often find that they're just as good for a much lower price.

Shopping in bulk isn't just for doomsday preppers; it's also an excellent way of reducing your cost per serving.

It’s true: chips, cookies and candy can be delicious. But snacks like these offer minimal nutritional value, while fresh produce, meat and dairy—typically found in the refrigerated perimeter shelves of the supermarket—are healthier options. You can even be rewarded for making these healthier choices with Safeway’s Sincerely Health™ platform, accessible within the Safeway app. Customers can earn up to $180 in annual grocery savings by setting their wellness goals.
