Is it worth it?

Good evening! I know it has been a while since I last posted - sorry about that - we have been busy! Chad's parents were visiting for a week, which was so fun & so nice to have them here! They left this morning after a fun-filled week. We were so blessed to have so much time with them. Now, we are back to our "normal" routine - whatever that is with a toddler, right?

My question of the day is this: is it worth it? I am referring to driving to several different stores to get deals. I have tended to be a "one stop shopper," thinking that I am at the store that advertises "Low Prices Always," which means I am getting the best deals in one location, right? However, today, we went to another local store & I got a gallon of milk for just 1.98, as opposed to the 2.38 I spent at the "low price leader." So, while I saved .40 on a gallon of milk, is it worth it to go to all those stores? I know I didn't just buy the milk at the store, I bought things that we didn't necessarily need because they were on sale. Is that good? What about the price you spend on gas to get there? Any thoughts on this? I'm curious to know what you think...is it worth it? Let me know!
