Retail $ vs Unit $: Buy This 🍚 🍲 🥜

As you continue to grocery shop, please keep in mind smart shopping.

I like this topic. With grocery prices increasing by 20, 30...40%, the retail versus unit price battle holds more relevance. 

Take for instance two bottles of kombucha:

32oz $6.66/$9.99 vs 12oz $5.58/$2.79 (unit price/retail price)

The two latter prices make your wallet smile. So, it's the easy choice, right? Sure, if you want to spend less and consume kombucha on the ride home. But, what if you want more kombucha that will last longer? 🧉

My kids wanted this item, and the 12oz was purchased. Smart choice for their tastebuds (consumption). Smart choice for grocery shopping completed that day (timing or clock). Smart choice as an option (choice). 🧠 🤯 

A good trip to the grocery store puts a smile 😃 on your face.

Your cost battle at the grocery should arrive at the three Cs: choice, clock, and consumption:

Choice. The items you pick. They do not have to be in the same food group or section (e.g., produce versus frozen). 🗒

Clock. The moments when you have a particular craving. Should you purchase it? Is there a better price option? Is there a better food option? ⏳

Consumption. The items that you know you eat and drink. How long will the food last based on its popularity in the house? 🌯

Think about these Cs as you shop and pick the right groceries items. Do not guess on a decision.
