After 30 minutes, I am set off to go to the nearest supermarket. I noticed that my attitude change when purchasing things. I tend to choose wisely by picking items that have discounts. During this pandemic, I need to be a wise man in terms of budgeting things up. How about you, guys? Do you choose wisely lately? Image Credit: business.time.com

Yes I do! I always choose the cheaper price for an item I like to buy or a "buy one get one" offer.

Since this pandemic makes our world upside down, I always look for that scheme in the supermarket.

@Shavkat The "buy one get one" or in our country it's "buy one take one" scheme is always more economical

You said it right. We can still hold the budget sometimes.

Especially now, we need to think not only once, but many times.

We also need to consider that matter, too. I started to eat less lately.

@Shavkat I´m doing less exercise so I need less calories. But the quality of my food is better.

that is a great question - the easy answer is YES of course. But the reality is, sometimes no. For example, I don't go grocery shopping anymore. I tend to overbuy.

I can feel you. Sometimes I overspend without having my shopping list.

I would choose things with discount, good quality and quantity. So shopping can be a very long process as I need to consider a lot before getting a product.

I stick with the ones that I usually buy so that I can save time selecting or making decision while at the grocery.

There are some items that I am loyal to. I can buy them without a second thought. But I usually have the items with a scheme of buy one take one.

It is a tighter budget during this pandemic, so I tend to be more practical than before.

Pretty and I stopped at the discount area of the grocery store yesterday. We weren't looking for anything in particular, just restocking things. We found several items that looked interesting and were deeply discounted, so we put them into our basket. We don't do that very often... We are both particular about what we eat. I think we're getting bored of home cooked meals and want what someone else cooked.

I do usually spend time with discounted areas in the supermarket. But I have to recheck if they are really needed.

I only buy what I need. For grocery shopping? I eat to live. Not live to eat.

It is also the same thing in our household.
