Comparison Shopping Shopping for food involves many considerations, including brands, sizes, quantities, unit prices, freshness, the availability of coupons and store location.

Trade-Offs in Stores Deciding what food to buy involves numerous trade-offs.
14
Trade-Offs in Stores (cont.)
• Food shopping is typically done at grocery stores or in club warehouse stores which offer the largest potential savings for your food dollar because you purchase in bulk.
• Occasionally, you may use a convenience store which carries a limited selection of brand items at relatively higher prices.
15
Trade-Offs in Stores (cont.)
• When you shop, alternatives to brand named items are private-labeled products which are lower-priced products carried by supermarket and warehouse chains.
• There is a trade-off between quality and price in the products you buy.
16
Trade-Offs in Stores (cont.)
• Bulk products are sold in large quantities. Sometimes they are in bins, so you can dip out the amount you want.
• Often, the larger the quantity of any item you buy, the lower the per-unit price. However, this is NOT always true.
17
Trade-Offs in Stores (cont.)
• Many manufacturers give cents-off coupons, but you have to decide if the amount you save using them is worth your time collecting and matching them.
• Store discount cards are another option, but critics claim that they simply save the customer from inflated prices instead of offering a discount.
• These cards are also used to track customers’ spending habits for marketing purposes.
