Is it better to shop in small local shops or big supermarkets?
Nowadays, some people prefer shopping in big supermarkets because they think they save more money because of the promotions of the different products.
I personally believe that small local shops are better because it's faster and easier to buy there.
To begin with, although small local shops do not have the range of goods available in a supermarket, it is not that serious because people usually buy the same products that can be found whether in supermarkets or local shops, so it's not necessary for local shops to have several varieties of each type of products.
Secondly, there is not a big difference on the prices of the products of a supermarket or a local shop. One the one hand, there are some promotions that can be found in supermarkets, but on the other hand, some products are cheaper in local shops.
Finally, if you go to a supermarket you have to go there by car so that you can carry all the bags with food on it. If you don't have a car, then you have to pay a taxi and that's even more expensive. You also need time. There are always lots of people in supermarkets, so the queue is pretty long most of the time.
In conclusion, local shops are more convenient because they are close to people's homes. And staff sometimes is really friendly if you are a regular customer because they already know you.

there's pros and cons for both.
pros for supermarket:
1) promotions
2) rewards ( cash voucher, credit card cashbacks, discounts, etc)
3) you can find 95% of things you'd buy at the same store.
4) wide range of brand
5) cashless transactions.
cons for supermarket:
1) have to queue up
2) long journey if it's far from home
3) makes you buy more than what you planned to buy. (unnecessary purchases)
pros for local shop:
1) it's around the corner
2) high tier brands can be cheaper compared to the supermarkets
3) able to get discounts for bulk purchases or being a regular.
4) way lesser queues
5) cheap stuff !!
cons for local shop
1) typically cash only payment method.
2) goods that you want can go out of stock
3) you won't be able to find various brands or items at the same place and would require to go to another shop just to get a couple of things.
4) no rewards / bonuses unless purchased in bulk.
based on my opinion.
