Lady at the grocery store checkout gave me the best budget tip I ever ignored for 3 years
I was at the Publix in Decatur last week and the cashier, probably 60 something, looked at my basket and goes "you know you can get those same spices for half the price in the international aisle right?" I laughed it off like yeah sure lady. But then I actually checked the next time I needed cumin and cinnamon. She was 100% right. The regular spice aisle was $5.99 a jar and the international section had the exact same McCormick thing for $2.49. I felt so dumb for all the years I spent walking right past the cheaper stuff. Now I swing through that aisle first every time I shop. Has anyone else found some random person at the store who saved you a ton of money with one sentence?

Yeah I used to think the name brand stuff was better. But honestly she's right, same product just in a different spot.

Ngl I literally gasped when I found out the generic brand uses the same factory as the fancy one.
