On most things that is pretty much the case, especially when dealing in foodstuffs. However, batteries would be one thing I would never trust generic for important stuff; go buy a four pack of AA bats for 99 cents, compare it to a 3 dollar pack of duracell or energizer. Even generic NiMH batteries really can't compete against the name-brands... of course there are a few diamonds in the rough but I would rather use name brand batteries than generic unless the price is just really so kickass that I could deal with buying two or three times as much and still save a shitload.
