It's not for everyone, the selection is going to be more limited, but it's so much faster and cheaper. We save around 20 - 25% buy shopping locally, there's simply less random items that go into the cart. While the large supermarkets have 5 minute lines and getting around results in shopping taking at least 30 minutes, the small grocery store reduces our once a week shopping trip to 10 minutes. Generally shopping at the large supermarkets have become extremely stressful, perhaps it always was, but now I know there's a better solution... And it's not online.
Online shopping for groceries currently doesn't work, shipping is to expensive, unless you only shop once a week... I do, but then they don't give me items that will last more than a few days. What am I suppose to do with 5L of milk that only last until Wednesday?
After having tried a small local grocery store I'm not sure I want to go back to the supermarkets.
