Comparision Grocery Shopping

I wrote here about comparison grocery shopping.

Goal: Figure out if comparing prices and using more than one grocery store is worth the trouble.

Last weekend I tried it for the first time, including flipping through two ad flyers for the two respective stores.  The Magician made the list BEFORE I planned the route so we only bought what we needed and not what was on sale. We had a small list this week and ended up saving $5.61.  Not much.  But times 52 weeks in a year, that would save almost $300.

Here's an image of the comparison list, in case you are curious.

How long does it take?  Maybe ten minutes, not counting compiling the list.
