I think it’s common for people to try new things when it comes to activities such as visiting new countries which can be beneficial in so many ways. Usually that come at the expense of having to spend more money which you would have to budget for. I was thinking though, do people do this for their grocery shopping? Because I often do that where if I did a really good job finding great deals for the week and I see what seems to be a decent sale for something I haven’t tried I tend to do buy it as the new experience for the week.
In this case it was just simply seeing these cooked barbeque ribs that were on sale and I figured why not give it a try? For many people they usually just treat groceries as the necessity where you can’t say have any real “fun” with it where it’s simply a survival necessity. I personally find it fun and satisfying in being to try new things and in some crazy way it can encourage you to be a better shopper. Like saving money for a vacation the more you save the more flexibility you will have to try new things as you please.
Of course it works out even better in this case if the item you are buying happens to be the same price of what you would have spent anyways on food for the day. But having fun with some variety in life in life when it comes to your grocery shopping helps to keep things interesting and fun to shop frugally as an example.
