I seldom go into convenience stores.  I guess you pay for the convenience.

I periodically get coffee or a donut at convenient stores and they're pretty reasonably priced. 7-11 has an app. and periodically there are freebie offerings too. The majority of things including milk are not cheap at convenient stores, but some items including some candy are comparable to grocery stores or drug stores for me.

The only time I go to convenience stores if I want a can of Coke or very rarely a quick snack such as an ice cream stick or chips.

I try and shop and bigger stores like Walmart target or Meijer. Better pricing for sure. Only stop in those stores when it's an emergency

I rarely use convenience stores but 7 Eleven is pretty reasonable on their fountain drinks.

We get gas, milk, and bread. It is quicker then going to the grocery store and here the price is just as expensive as the convenient store and the bread is better.

I don't go to convenience store to buy anything, because it is more expensive than the grocery store.

I visit the convenient stores to buy a cup of tea when I am in a hurry.

Those little stores don't carry much on hand to sell anything really cheap for one and two it takes a while for them to get product in there lil stores. Takes longer to get it so another reason why they sell things higher then most they don't have the room to store stuff like a grocery store could do

These stores for me are only handy when you don't want to go to a normal store that's further away

I very rarely go into the convenience stores here in our town.  I'm not convinced they're safe even in the daytime.  We've had a lot of robberies of convenience stores over the last few years and even a couple of killings.  Afraid it's gonna get worse too.

I just use them for gas, unless on the road traveling and nothing else is near by.

Now that I get my gas at Sam's Club or Costco, there is no convenience store activity for me.
I used to go to 7-11 to get icees for my kids as a treat, but now we don't go either.

Try not to ever buy anything at a convenience store except for gas because everything is so expensive and really don't need to buy anything at them anyway.

Gas and a cappuccino once in a while.  That's about it for me.  Maybe a lottery ticket on rare occasions.

you should try going to 7-11. they even have an app now with coupons. there are also 7-11 gas stations in some places.

I get my gas from a Warehouse club so that pretty much destroys my chance of ever going into a convenience store

Almost never go to convenience stores, not even for gas.  I use fuel points at the grocery where I shop, and usually pick up groceries while I'm there.

My daughter owns a convenience store and she stays busy all the time.  Not only selling gas, but also inside sales are good.

We have one convenience store near us that has great prices!  Some things are cheaper than the grocery store; which I find very unusual!  But: they have the highest gas prices in town!  Go figure!   ???
