good question

i get most of my stuff from costco b/c there's a wide enough variety to get my shopping done in one trip, w/e i can't get is where a superstore trip will come into play

at costco, typically you'll save about 10% vs superstore if you shop common grocery basket items, that gap widens when compare vs safeway etc

i think teh reason why consumers shop at multiple places is they will find stuff in particular they like, and that might be the only place to get it ie. that bakery has really fresh bread, that meat shop has great cuts of meat etc.

my diet doesn't vary alot hence all of my grocery shopping is satisfied by costco/superstore
