Shopping

Hi deepak I agree with you that going to different stores for different is not only time consuming but boring too. We too get the weekly fruits and vegetables from the market. On sunday we will go to the market and buy our weekly fruits and vegetables and the monthly provisions will be bought from the wholesale store.

Hi Vathsala, I hope you noticed the word "we". :) Well, that is Deepak's way of shrewdly taking credit for his better half's wisdom. :) Some mothers do have them, you know. LOL.

Hi Deepak, I was kidding. :) Well, it is a wise thing to do! Actually, I read somewhere that by reducing the frequency of visits to departmental stores and opting to purchase from a single store, we actually reduce our expenditure by a decent sum! This is because every time we visit a departmental store or multiple store, chances are that we might pick something that we dont really need from there. It may seem to be a small amount, but 5 to 10 purchases like that make it a tidy sum! And multiply that by 12 to get the yearly figure, and you will start regretting it almost immediately. So, your better half is truly a wise lady. :) Departmental stores would want you to buy like that. Their displays are meant to make you feel like purchasing. So there is a conflict of interest here. :) In any event, I prefer to order monthly groceries at one go, as it saves me time visiting the stores more often, and there is a home delivery system for larger purchases. :) And Deepak, you deserve the BR - wish you'd mentioned it was your better half's idea though. :( But I hope you do hold all those vegetables every week, while she bargains with the vendors. LOL. Happy mylotting. :)

If the departmental store is not nearby our house, then it will be a problem. We need to shop in different shops, which is time consuming and boring. We normally go to one particular shop where groceries are sold at wholesale rate and buy the entire monthly provision. Milk is supplied by milkman and curd, ofcourse I will set it at home.Vegetables will be purchased in Reliance Fresh.

Hi greenline We too buy the things in the nearest convenient stores only and sometimes we do not get our particular brand or some times we do not get all the items we want. So we will go to another stores for the things which were not available here. Thanks for your response and keep responding my friend. Bye.

Hi vijayanths I am happy to note that you get from your dept. stores, everything except mom. What about dad? You get it?You are right. From the Departmental Stores, we can get both the groceries, vegetables, fruits, milk, curd and bakery products and all in one roof.

Hi neelima Even we buy once in a month, all our provisions in some reputed store, mostly buy and save stores, where we can save a considerable amount since it is a wholesale shop. Some times if I get any canteen card or metro card, I will buy soaps, surf, cornflakes, milkmaid, phenyl, and oil etc. for 3 months as every now and then It is not decent to ask someone. Vegetables and fruits, I will buy in reliance fresh or greens and grains in malleswaram

Hi priya I came to know through the news papers that total is giving at a cheper rates compared to the market price. But total is very far from my place. So I go to buy and save shop where we get good quality at a cheaper rate compared to the MRP. There itself reliance fresh is there. so I buy vegetables and fruits for 1 week from there

hi danishcanadian Is food available in your grocery store? amazing. Yes, we will get fresh fruits and vegetables in the market and fresh ones are always tasty and healthy too. Thanks for responding.
