Honestly, my grocery bill went from $600 to $350 a month after I stopped one thing

Ngl, for years I was buying all my groceries at the big chain store near my apartment in Austin, thinking the sales were good. I switched to planning meals around the weekly flyer for a local discount market instead, and the difference after just 30 days was crazy. Has anyone else had a win like this from changing where you shop, not just what you buy?

Wait, so just switching where you shop actually saved you that much?

Always figured the big stores were cheapest, but planning around a discount market's flyer cut my bill way down. @margaretj40 is onto something about how they get you to walk past stuff. That switch in strategy makes a bigger difference than just clipping coupons.

Saw a thing online about how the big stores put the loss leaders in the back to make you walk past everything. Makes you wonder. Switched to a smaller place for basics last month and my cart is definitely lighter.
