I interpreted it as meaning they decide on the specific brand when they’re at the grocery store and are able to compare prices. They’ve already decided beforehand that they needed detergent.
Stores also don’t prominently advertise everything that’s cheap. Sometimes, you go in and see that detergent is cheaper than usual, and even if you aren’t low on detergent yet (hence not looking up the price), it makes sense to stock up anyway.
Shouldn’t this save money?
How would that SAVE money? Buying groceries without knowing what you have at home and what you need?

Huh. Okay, even then, prices don’t fluctuate so wildly you’d have to make that decision every time.
But sales man
Do shops around you keep sales secret from you until you enter the building? Get that information while you make your shopping list at home.
Costco does for clearance items.

Okay, I have never experienced that, I always know when stuff is on sale. Also Costco isn’t a thing here. So I suppose it depends on where you are.
