Corner shops vs. supermarkets

There’re some differences between the two type of shopping. Let me weigh the benefit and drawbacks. Supermarkets have wider variety of products than corner shops. The service in smaller shops are more personal than in supermarkets. As for the prices, supermarkets are usually cheaper because they sell their products in bigger quantity. Another difference is that supermarkets offer different services, such as hairdresser's, café and dry cleaner. People go to supermarkets to do the weekly shopping while people go to a cornershop if they forgot to buy something. Or during occasions when supermarkets are closed. Unfortunately, tobacco shops usually belong to corner shops and there’re lots of drunk people who are alcoholists and homeless. But when it’s about a little purchase we grab what we need in a supermarket. Another reason why like going to supermarkets is the discount. Sometimes people go to corner shops because supermarkets are usually located out of the city and corner shops are more convenient. As for my families shopping habits, my mum is responsible for buying the necessary items. My mum is also responsible for filling up the pantry. I always come with my mum because I always get something delicious. After filling up the shopping we usually pay by credit card. In my opinion, shopping is an activity which lots of people hate and lots of people love, but it’s a household chore that everybody has to do each weekend.
