Substitute goods are commodities that are similar enough that an increase in one price of one good (e.g., chewing gum) causes consumers to buy a similar, less expensive good (e.g., a candy bar). Other examples of substitute goods are turkey and chicken, broccoli and spinach, and blueberries and raspberries.
The opposite of substitute goods are complementary goods.
