I do $3 gas station shops that fill up my tank weekly.
I do $6 hardware shops that get me nuts, bolts, screws, hoses and batteries.
I do $3 grocery store shops that fill my fridge so I don't have to go grocery shopping.
I do $2 QSR shops that provide me lunch at work for the week.
I do $4 shops where I buy sundry goods.
I do $8 oil change shops.
For me, that's all worth it, and they are my choice.
When I am in between W-2 jobs (I'm a government contractor), I shop full time. I do the higher paying shops with bonuses to meet my monthly quota.
