We also asked “Any other comments on grocery shopping?” Comments from parents included:
“Would grab odd bits from other shops throughout the week but main shop is the same shop on the same day every week.”
“It seems that every week that the price of food is going up. As well as everything else even going up like firelighters and fire logs.”
“I do one main grocery shop and try to avoid mid week top up shops by buying and freezing extra bread and milk for the week. Every few months I try a different supermarket to see if I can reduce my grocery costs to ensure I am getting the best deals.”
“Dunnes Stores for my main shop then I will do a top up shop at Aldi as they have some products I prefer to those available Dunnes.
Can’t get everything I want in main supermarket so have to shop around. Also finding it hard to find certain meats every week not in stock.”
“Would grab odd bits from other shops throughout the week but main shop is the same shop on the same day every week.“
“I had to split my shopping into 2 trips throughout the week as the shops are more expensive and missing products from one visit to the next.”
“Depends on where has the best deals but each store you go to never has everything you need so it’s hard to do one shop in just one store.”
