Supermarkets are better than shops only in their order of things.
Anything I get from supermarket will cost 200/- above
Better buy from shops. In shops we have close association with the shopkeeper and he keeps our like minded items separate for us.In supermarkets the employees often look at us with a cold look.
Super markets are multi department stores and these may be good to buy commodities in bulk. I prefer to buy from nearby ordinary shops as and when I need to buy.
Super markets provide best quality goods at reasonable prices and therefore these markets have a big edge in popularity than ordinary shops but the thing is that most of us are often situated far from these markets and in such situations ordinary shops comes very handy...
Another reasons why people prefer supermarket is that you can replace goods at ease if you are not satisfied with the one. One can get goods or items here very easily which one doesn't get in ordinary shops....
