<font face='arial'><small>This calculator will show you how much you'll
save over the course of your lifetime when permanently switching from any given high
priced buying habit (name brand) to its functional, less expensive equivalent (generic).
Plus, it will also show you how much interest you could earn if you were to invest all or
part of those savings as you realized them. As you're about to see, "a penny
