In the supermarket, there are no small savings… especially in terms of first price products! The latter, often shunned by consumers for their very basic packaging and their bad reputation, can nevertheless prove to be precious allies for your wallet, provided you know how to choose them.
Indeed, they are sometimes up to 60% cheaper than their branded equivalents. Although in recent months, entry-level products have been hit hard by inflation, they remain on the whole quite cheap.
But be careful, because not all of them are necessarily worth the savings.
