Sometimes grocery shopping is frustrated, it can get confusing & I’m shopping online, trying to save money it very confusing,cuz I’m on a grocery app that has different stores & comparing prices can be toooo much confusion, not everything is in one store.

I like grocery shopping especially when buying food I like. I dislike it when the supermarket is crowded. I hate crowds and shopping cart traffic.

I too don't like when grocery stores are crowded, but they rarely are when I go. I actually like grocery shopping a lot. I like to take my time and go down most every aisle except the detergent and cleaning products aisle because of the terrible artificial fragrances. I like to read labels and see all the different products I've never noticed before. Each time is like a learning experience for me. Just today I stopped at two different grocery stores. I had no idea that there were so many different flavors of Oreo cookies now. I do wear my earplugs when I shop.

My youngest granddaughter does grocery shopping at several stores . I can see that choosing to buy things where they are cheaper , rather than just in one store, makes some sense .
However I struggle to get my head around organising my grocery shopping that way .

I'm reliant on my stepdaughter either taking me to the big Sainsbury a few miles away , or walking with me to the smaller one in town . Occasionally I'll ask her to get something from another store, but that's not the same as what my youngest granddaughter does .

My stepdaughter will get me things like ground coffee and pasta in sauce from B&M because it's cheaper .

I quite like it, most of the time. I take my time, look through all the options. Always make a list of things I need but do throw in some other stuff as well (especially if there's a good offer). However I do really hate it being crowded, so I wear my headphones (though that's basically any time I'm alone in public) and go at quiet times if schedule allows.

I had to purposefully tone down the price-matching though. For a while I was rather too dedicated to finding the cheapest prices and it was frankly taking up too much time and effort for relatively minor savings.

I also prefer to do shopping online while its grocery shopping or apparel, because don't have enough time to go shops and buy stuff, and it's irritating to go shopping for buying stuff, I mostly buy from Free Online Coupons because from here I easily get all stuff of my need.

I was like you, when I could walk alot, i used to walk to the grocery store with my shopping cart, I like walking to the store back then, it helped me lose weight, the store was 6 blocks away from where I was living. I didn’t like crowds too, the checkout line could take forever, the checkout people can talk to customers, I hated that, once or twice, I felt like I may passed out cuz my feet were hurting so much, lucky there were a sitting area cuz there was Starbucks too. I did compared prices too, it was taking too much of my time.
