There are two types of grocery shoppers: the people who go to the store without planning ahead, and the people who carefully search the aisles with their grocery list in hand and their budget in mind.
Here in Lawrence, there are many grocery stores to choose from: Target, Hy-Vee, Aldi's, Dillons, The Merc and Walmart to name just a few. Many students have a personal favorite when it comes to grocery stores, though their reasons vary.
For any student, it is rewarding to buy food at the lowest price possible, and many students will choose one store over another based on price alone. Some stores, such as Dillons, provide frequent shopper cards that allow cardholders to purchase many items at a lower price.
"I like to go to Hy-Vee because of the proximity to my place and there's always a really good variety," Derek Shackelford, a sophomore from Shawnee said.
First, the distance from your fridge to the grocery store should play a role because the closer the store is,the easier it is to transport frozen foods and save time.
"I usually go to the Dillons on 6th street because it's always really cheap," said Emily Peterson, a junior from Kansas City, Mo.
Sales are another reason people keep going back to their favorite grocery store, whether a sale is on meat, cheese or any other popular grocery.
"Everything I buy I try to get while it's on sale," said Peterson. "Especially with meat — I always have meat."
Sales also allow students to indulge in their favorite buys and guilty pleasure foods.
"I don't really pay attention to when they say sales are going on, but when I go shopping I always compare prices of the name-brand stuff to the Great Value brand at Walmart," said Sarah Rettitt, a junior from Shawnee.
"I get a lot of produce, fruits and veggies more than anything," said Shackelford. "But I also have a soft spot for ice cream. I can't always get it but I do when I can."
Each of these students also had some tips for those new to grocery shopping in Lawrence.
Rettit said it is important to know how much food you like to cook and what you like to cook.
"Make a list and then get into a routine so you'll know roughly what you'll be spending," Shackelford said. "Pastas also extremely invaluable."
"Buy stuff you can make meals from over and over again," Peterson said.

Lemore wi.. defense. He told the Lawrence Journal-World a week ago that he struggled to keep up with Tyshawn Taylor in early practices.
The first time we'll get to see McLemore in action on James Naismith Court is Oct. 12 for Late Night in the Phog. The players will jog out of the tunnel and form layup lines. Those layup lines will slowly evolve into dunk lines.
In all honesty, though, Self didn't sign McLemore to be a lockdown defender.
McLemore will throw a couple dunks down. Sleepy eyes in Allen Fieldhouse will suddenly open wide.
The Ben McLemore experience will officially and finally begin.

Kansas snagged the doubles point early in Friday's match against rival Mizzou, sealed by a 9-8 (5) tiebreaker victory at the No. 2 spot for sophomore Paulina Los and freshman Maria Belen Ludueña. Junior Monica Pezotti and sophomore Dylan Windom won had the other doubles win, an 8-4 rout.
Friday match was the first time in nearly four weeks where the Jayhawks won the doubles point, and it was the team's first in Big 12 play this season.
that, but we just seriously need to start getting at it. We're capable of doing this. We just have to believe for real."
"The most important point is the doubles point," junior Victoria Khanevskaya said. "After getting the doubles point, it's always easier to go to the singles matches because of confidence."
But the Tigers bounced back
quickly, reeling off four straight singles wins to own what may be the final tennis chapter of the Border Showdown rivalry.
Windom and Dreyer's wins at the No. 4 and 5 spots only made the final score appear more competitive.
KU took the doubles point yet again in the 6-1 loss to Iowa State, but failed to pull out any singles matches. Before the match, the Cy-clones were the only other team in
the big 12 without a dual match victory in conference play.
The Jayhawks' final opportunity to win a regular season conference match will come Saturday against the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan. Kansas State is one of three Big 12 teams not ranked, along with Kansas and Iowa State. The Wildcats currently sit at 3-5 in conference dual play.

McDonald played in the U.S. Army All-American bowl following his senior year of high school, and Scout.com ranked him as the eighth-best middle linebacker in his class. During his four seasons with Notre Dame, McDonald played in 28 games. He played in all 12 games of the 2009 season, and he played 11 games in 2010, but McDonald appeared in only four games in 2011 because of injuries. In one of McDonald's game appearances last season, he recorded three tackles against Navy.
By adding McDonald, Weis' first recruiting class at Kansas has 25 players, 14 of whom transferred from another NCAA institution or a junior college.
