EOC Week 9 Blog

Well there are lots of times when I pay too much for things. Just the other week I went to smith’s to go grocery shopping. Since I don’t have a car my roommate takes me to Food 4 less because that is where I usually shop. They have the best prices when it comes to MOST of their food. Not counting their fruits, vegetables and meats. The reason why we had to go to Smiths was because someone else asked my roommate for a ride to the store and it was my only opportunity to go grocery shopping when I had almost nothing in my fridge. I was pretty much starving so I really didn’t have much of a choice so I just went with the flow
I purchased the same amount of food that I usually get when I go to Food 4 Less. The price usually comes to about 50 to 60 dollars. The price at Smith’s came up to about 85 dollars with the club card. Without the club card the price would have been 90 – 100 dollars. I can understand their strategy when it comes their way of bringing in customers by having the club card makes people think that they are saving money when they really aren’t saving too much. It gets even worse if the customer forgets their club card.
