Well I know I am picky when it comes to buying Groceries, and usually will buy the name brand over the others, so I have to compare usually to find the Best prices, but a lot of times will shop at the stores that you can save $$ on your purchases in Cash back towards a gallon of gas. But I do know what some of these products do cost at some of the other stores, so if the price tends to be too much, I will pass on them for then til I am in the area to go to the other stores.

I do love buying things cheaper but I do set some limitations on myself. If I tend to tire out just for the sake of bargain hunting for saving a small amount and going far for it, I don't think that it is worth my effort. I do prefer buying in sort of warehouses because they sell goods in wholesale price cheaper than the retail price.

Of course I always prices and their qualities. It is important for us consumers to look for a better price and yet the quality is still good.

i am similar like you... i like to compare prices everywhere first before i purchase something... my philosophy is why should i spend more money if i can get the same item at a lesser price... i call that smart shopping... anyway, i always compare prices first before i make any purchases even if it means that i have to waste time to travel and do my research... take care and have a nice day...

There are so many shops near our home so I also do compare prices. We have the SM Hypermarket, Shopwise, the Puregold, and Super 8. I noticed the Shopwise and SM Hypermarket have higher prices on same goods sold at Puregold and Super 8 but the only problem with the last two grocery shops is they have limited goods unlike SM Hypermarket and Shopwise which have practically all I need. Of course I shop more in a shop with cheaper prices but also shop at SM Hypermarket and Shopwise for those items not found in either Puregold or Super 8.

Price comparing is something that is really becoming quite important in this day and age when you really think about it. There are just many times where if we can save a couple of dollars, so much the better. That is really a couple of dollars that we can put back for a rainy day, to save for tomorrow. So its important on that front to compare a lot of prices and to really get the most out of things.
Granted, after a while you're going to find the place that is going to get the best deals. However, there are going to be times where you can buy a few essential items at a place for a few dollars extra at certain points of time. You don't want to rely too much on any one place either, which is another good reason why prices should in fact be compared rather closely. To save the most and to have other options, that is what its all about.

Now that the economy has become tight for my pockets, that is what I always do to ensure I have something to save for tomorrow. I used to go shopping for my groceries in one store, only to realize they were double the price in other stores but the quality and quantity remains the same. Comparing prices is the only way to deal with this high cost of living everyone is facing.

I do the same but there is not 1 store the cheapest. From most products I buy I know which shop is the cheapest and I buy it over there. So just the thing I want not the rest too.
Might take a bit more time but I don't care about that. I am stil not shopping every day, only once or twice a week.

i do that too...i always compare the prices of the goods i buy especially those goods that i usually buy in bulk because i know i can save lots of money from it... and at our time these days we all need to be practical to survive..so i guess we both are just doing our own ways to save money...

I like to compare different product's price in different store as same as you. Comparing the price of product in different store can sometime save you some money. Different store has different discount season and you have keep your eyes on the news of store. They also provide different coupons for you to buy more cheap product. Cheap is not as equal as poor quality. They still remains the same equality as usual. And it helps you to save more money.
