When you start to actually pay for things like hygienic necessities and even food, you begin to realize that a lot of money can be saved by not automatically going with the pretty brand-name stuff when the generic brand is just as good. The University has come out with a new study that will save a little cash for everyone by showing that anti-bacterial soap is no better than the regular cheap kind.

It may shock you as much as finding out your ex-girlfriend may have pulled the goalie (Tom Brady), but Corporate America has taken advantage of America's gullible nature again. Were it not for the bastion of truth that is UMich, you'd probably have been tricked into paying extra for the fancier soap forever.

So, heads up, buy the cheap stuff and if anyone complains cite this study in an impassioned defense of the dollar you just saved at the grocery store.
