Avoid Shopping Habits and Save Money

I had become used to purchasing large eggs from the grocery store. This came from months of seeing that large eggs were the best bargain on the shelves. I had compared the sizes of the large eggs with the extra large eggs and decided to change my normal purchasing routine. Large eggs it was.
Little did I realize that I had become patterned in my buying again and was no longer conscientious of egg prices. Finally, this week when the price of large eggs went up once again, I looked around the shelves. To my surprise, I noticed that extra large eggs were only four cents more!
I am a person that is constantly comparing prices so I was surprised that I had unawarely become a shopper of habit. If this can happen to me, it can happen to you too. How many times do we buy something out of habit without even realizing the cost?
My challenge to you this week is to get out of your shopping rut. Look around on the shelves before you buy. Make sure you’re getting the best deals.
Are you a shopper of habit?
