Melissa Berrett, a stay-at-home
mother of three, admitted that her spending habits have definitely changed. “I buy
generic brands of everything. I used to always buy
Kraft macaroni and cheese and now I buy Western Family macaroni and cheese, or instead of Viva milk I’ll buy store brand milk,” said Berrett.

The two products she will still pay top dollar for are
Gain apple-mango scented
laundry detergent, because it makes her clothes smell good for a long time, and
Glad’s
Febreze scented garbage bags. “And
Glade candles,” she added, “I like smelly stuff.”

Berrett still buys the same cosmetics she always has, but admitted she has developed a new love of
eye shadow. She said she has enough to wear about eight different color combinations. At $5 each, she probably could have bought a new outfit or pair of jeans with what she has spent. “A new pair of jeans you can’t wear every day. I can wear different makeup every day for the same amount of money,” said Berrett.
