Not everyone is interested in performing side jobs, and comparing weekly ads and sales prices can be a 'fun' optimization problem. It's a more productive use of time than whatever the alternative would've been (social media, watching television, etc). Moderately large grocery stores have real web apps these days so you can get pricing data and track it over time. Combine that with the personalized deals / digital coupons and you can create your analysis for what's the best to purchase.
- adamisom 4y agoThe elephant in the room for any analysis like "It's a more productive use of time than whatever the alternative would've been (social media, watching television, etc)." is that, y'know, maybe people need to find good uses of their time other than working. But that sounds elitist so nobody says it. Doesn't make it any bit less true.
