The survey is their annual one from last year, so that's how many
folks answered the questions on that part of the survey.

Price is important if you are trying to save. I do shop at a number
of stores, simply because I pass them on my way home. I don't go out
of my way more than half a mile, but then, with so many good produce
and fish stores in the area, why would I? S&S and Shaws are generally
pricier than PriceRite, which has a better selection of the things I
buy than Aldi's which has the good prices on dairy and eggs. I try to
avoid buying wrapped veggies, since the extra packaging is, to me,
wasteful.
