This is certainly true, and very important to recognize, so kudos for that.
If brand name is $3.00 and generic is $2.00, getting 50 cents off the brand isn't really a savings. Just ignore those kinds of "sales". However, as I mentioned earlier, when that $3.00 brand is on sale for $2.50, there may also be a $.50 off coupon in the paper. If the market doubles coupons, you now get the $3.00 brand for $1.50 making it cheaper than the store brand.
