I came to many of the same conclusions in my recent post on the subject: http://www.richerbytheday.com/2008/02/buying-generic.html

For most items I always buy generic, for a few I buy the branded when its on sale, and a very small number I always buy the branded product.

Great Article!

Generics are hit and miss, I generally try the generics at least once to see if they are useful or not. I get generic stuff at Costco all the time, Trader Joe’s seems to be all store brand, Kroger’s generics are very hit and miss.

Drugs I go for the generic when available, because it should be identical with the same active ingredients. Of course, I price check the name brand before making the purchase to make sure I am actually saving money.
