    I pick up a lot of reduced items that I wouldn't get if I shopped online, so it's a lot cheaper for me to visit the store.

    I find that too. Sometimes I do online and I also go to shop. Also sometimes I go to the butcher and find things good quality and same price as online/supermarket. :)

    My sanity, yes!

    Supermarkets drive me up the wall, so any reason not to have to visit them is good enough for me.

    Some are chaotic and I get crazy when they change the shelves:smiley:

    Quite so.
    Sometimes I like the markets but they have extensive stalls.:)

    I do both. Online for heavy and bulky household things like laundry/toilet roll/cleaning equipment and other things like drinks/special offers on tins.etc

    I buy reduced items when I can, as well as choosing my own fruit and veg so I know it's fresh

    Yes reduced items are really pretty good, they go quickly when fruit or potatoes.

    I buy soup mix with pulses and make own soup at home, add some onion, OXO cube, carrot. It works so cost effective than buying tins.

    I use tinned soup in combination with noodles I boil and stir them in and put bits of cheddar. It is richer. Sometimes I use sachet soup with noodles. Son loves them.:)
