Do you shop in different stores because the items you want are cheaper that way?

I'll give you the example. I needed Pistachios for a recipe. In one store it was $7.60 for a 60grm packet. In another store. It was $3.50 for an 80grm packet. That's a big difference between the two.

I think if I was a homemaker and didn't work fulltime I'd have more time to do that, I don't right now.

@Thevy29 that's not the same as working OT at your regular full time job. I think we're talking about 2 different things here

@Neman1622 That's how the agencies got out of trouble with him.
It's happened to me.
The managers of the different sections put me on a Morning shift in the Aged Care ward. An Afternoon on the Nursing Ward and a Night Shift in the Overnight Building. This is all part of the same hospital. Happened on a long weekend with a public Holiday on both Friday and Monday and the managers all took Thursday off as their paid day off. And no one was available or willing to pick up a shift. All I got was, 'You can sleep on the Nightshift.' I was sick as a dog by the end of it. That first night I was attacked by a guy with a knife, so I refused to work that Overnight building ever again. And the tax man took so much tax off me that it wasn't worth it at all.

@Thevy29 yes, I'm salaried not hourly. I usually try to keep my hours closer to 40 and times that I put in more towards 50 I sometimes get a bonus day off or two to make up for it.

I know that one store is generally cheapest for fresh goods, another for baking ingredients, etc, and I plan shopping trips accordingly. But no sense in lingering over one or two items, you also need to factor in the additional cost of petrol, time, etc.
My options are limited unless I want to drive a half hour each way, which would negate all savings. I just get everything at one place. I work too much to worry about going store to store to save a few bucks.

Yep! We use 3 or 4 different supermarkets. I think the days of doing a "big weekly shop" at one supermarket have gone. People shop around to get the bargains.

I do sometimes. But if I'm short on time that week I just try to get the items in the same store.

Only if I can’t price match the item at my regular store and I really need or want it

Totally.
Quality varies from Grocery store to Grocery store.
Alisha233 · 31-35, F
Yes, based on price and quality.
Yep I check prices online first
rachelsj · 22-25, F
I try to shop local when I can
TheFragile · 46-50, M
Yes I do.

I think only if it's a major difference. Like getting something at Wawa vs a grocery store.
