I don't do anything generic except Mayo & powdered coffee creamer. I coupon heavily & combine them with weekly sales to get name brand items cheaper than buying generic.

Heinz ketchup
Bounty paper towels
Pepsi
cookies/crackers

-- generic Coke or Pepsi (though generic ginger ale and Diet Dr. Pepper are usually tasty!)
