Going from store to store

If I know where I can get some things cheaper, than I would go for the "specials". Money doesn't grow on tree and I don't have a father who owns the country's mint. If I can get something cheaper elsewhere (and if it is not too much of a bother), I would rather walk a few more steps.

I do not do all my shopping at one store. I will look for bargins and buy things where I can the bargins. Like I go to Dollar General and Family Dollar for my cleaning supplies. Everything is cheaper there. Even cheaper than Walmart. But when I do this. I make sure all my shopping will be done in one day. Or I do it on my way to somewhere. That way it doesn't cost me anymore in gas.

My wife does most of the grocery shopping. She goes to several different stores. No, I do not think that Walmart has cornered the market because my wife and get some things cheaper at other stores than Walmart.

I do all my shopping at walmart unless its something that I know dollartree has and I can save on it there then I go there. I like just going in dollartree because sometimes you can get some good deals in there.

I've been flip-flopping on this lately, having recently moved to an area where I have the option of shopping around for specials. However, I've discovered that my schedule really only allows for me to buy the bulk of my groceries at a single store, and then head to a different store for basic household needs, like toilet paper and toothpaste. About the only thing I will make a special trip for is fresh fruits and vegetables, because this area has a farmer's market nearly every day of the week. That is definitely handy for me! :)
