Grocery Shopping Decision Tree

This is how I roll at the grocery store (click picture to enlarge).   You?  Leave your wisdom in the comments.

  1. Do you never care about the brand? Sometimes I pay more for a certain brand, because I believe in it or only like that brand. Examples include San Marzano canned tomatoes, expensive olive oil, seltzer in cans sometimes, Charmin TP haha, etc.

    • One day I looked at my fridge and realized I made nearly an entire grocery shopping trip out of Wegman’s products. It was then I realized I have few brand loyalties at the intersection of food and budget. However, in the rare case I buy a treat like Oreo’s or Cheez-its, I get the brand name. Don’t screw around with treats; they fall under the “pure food joy” category, and deserve the extra buck.

  2. Very interesting chart. Every check prices on certain items compared to online grocery stores?

    • I’ve found that online grocery stores (especially looked at Alice.com) are brand-only. Few coupons for brands end up being predictably lower than store brand.
