Supermarket vs Convenience Store

Which do you often go to supermarket or convenience store? If you live your parents’ home, you may go to convenience store more often than supermarket. On the other hand, if you live by yourself, you may often go to supermarket. I also often go to supermarket to buy material to cook. Generally, people use each shop with their purpose because the two shops have good points. Actually, there is a supermarket near by a convenience store around HJU, but each shop has special roles for buyers needs. I’ll talk good points of them for our life, our health and the environment. Then, I’ll judge which is better by comparing whole aspect of them.

1. Which is better for our life?
One of the biggest differences is that there are more processed foods at the convenience stores than super markets. It is good for us when we don’t have enough time to cook. For example, people who live by themselves especially buy processed foods because they have little time for house works, part time job and so on. Thus, convenience stores are very useful for our busy life. In addition, we can use many useful functions at convenience stores like ATM, postal delivery, Internet (at some stores) at anytime. Convenience stores make our life more effectually, so convenience stores win!

2. Which is better for our health?
If you think it with your long life time, can you keep eating convenience stores’ food? There are some chemical seasonings in processed foods to keep them fresh or delicious, so it may cause bad effect on your body. On the other hand, there are a lot of fresh vegetables, fish, meats, so you can cook and eat them peacefully. We can select the best food for our body at supermarkets. Moreover, we can polish our cooking skills! Supermarkets win!

3. Which is better for the environment?
When we think about economy, it is very clear! I think almost everyone say supermarkets are better for economy because they are positive not to use plastic bags. Not only the movement, they also cooperate to collect plastic trays, cartons of milk, so it is very good for the earth. In addition, supermarkets try to sell merchandise by cutting prices from evening, so foods won’t be waste, but convenience stores don’t try selling remain food and throw it away. It is big problem of modern people because we should use things with appreciations for the earth. Then, supermarkets win!

In conclusion, convenience store is better for our life, supermarket is better for our health and the environment so supermarket win in this battle. Then, supermarket may be good for these three aspects, convenience store has many other good entertainment points. Since that, it is difficult to decide which is better, but we should reconsider other side of convenience.
Let’s use things with respect!
