Inspired by Tdc's thread I'd like to ask
when shopping,
are you a discount hunter or a quality shopper "in rough terms"
f.exp
today I did spend 150kr on 5 beers.
very unnessersary.
I also spent 40kr on coffee where i could have settled for 28kr
I also dished out for full grain pasta instead of the cheap pasta.
This is quite symptomatic for our shopping.
It all came about after a post dinner post kids put to bed talk,
we used to be very price aware, we'd always go for the "best"
aka cheapest offer on daily items. But we've since done a 180*
these days we look for quality, we dont nessersarily choose the most expensive items, as you quickly learn that especially in supermarkets, expensive isnt nessersarily = quality, anyway..it's not about brands,
example: we'r well and happy with the stores own cornflakes, bigger chunks, more crunchy, and thats less than ½ the price of cornflakes..
but we'll then happilly dish out for shitaki mushrooms for the lasagne rather then plain old white mushrooms.... but for other uses white goes fine..
well you get the general idea
it all came from us being fed up with constant poor quality items,
tasteles, dull, and soemtimes "as with coffee" less healthy "nickle"
so we decide after a good think, after all, waht we eat daily is what defines us, how we look, health, moods ect..why would we want to save on that ?
so we made a plan to make small sacrifices elswhere, here and there, and low and behold! we quickly realized that we had a much larger food bugdet avalible to us.
