"supermarket savings" news and stories

As my wedding comes to the six-weeks-away mark, Jon and I are finding that we're watching our money and trying to cut back where we can. One major place that I found for saving money is the supermarket. I asked myself last week, "Are there items I can save on and still get the same results?"

Of course, cereal was my first thought. With some brands and stores charging close to $5 a box, the generic brand never seemed so appetizing. But what else is there -- canned tomatoes, ice cream, butter, vinegar, olive oil and/or pasta? The list seemed endless.

So who better to ask than the blogosphere, where this has probably been tested many times. What items can Jon and I swap out for the more affordable generic store brands, and when is it worthwhile to splurge? Leave your thoughts in the comment section.
