That 'cheap' grocery store actually cost me way more in time and gas
I spent months going to this discount grocery store across town because I thought I was saving money. But last week I finally sat down and added it up. Turns out I was spending an extra 45 minutes driving there and back each trip, plus burning about $8 in gas every time. And the produce there goes bad in like 2 days, so I was throwing away food too. I was so focused on the low prices that I never stopped to think about all the hidden costs. It took me a solid 6 months to realize my regular local store was actually the better deal. Has anyone else done the math on a 'cheap' store and found it wasn't worth it?
