What is the same as branded but cost less?

Hi
I wasted a lot of money on branded things – from toilet rolls to baked beans. Now on my quest to cut down spending everywhere I can, I started looking at the ‘ingredients’ and ‘contents’ of what I buy…. Spotted a few bargains (the same things really, just modestly packaged). Here are a few with identical ingredients:
30 Tesco Lime scale Prevention Tablets, £2.99 = 50 Calgon Tablets, £9.99
Boots Basics mouthwash 500ml, £0.99 = Boots Smile Antiseptic Mouthwash 250ml, £0.99
Any more, anyone?
