I used to work with a guy who was very frugal.  He and his wife checked out all the flyers and the newspaper ads to see the best deals and then they would to to each of those stores and get just the things that were on at special sale prices. They would spend hours and burn a lot of gas going to multiple stores to save a few bucks.

 I consider myself to be fairly frugal.  But no, I don't drive all over town to try to save a few bucks going from store to store.

I shop three stores, not the same day though.
Publix  It is 1 mile from my house.  The BOGO sales are really good. The people are very helpful and never much of a wait to check out. Parking is good too.
Detwiler's.  I take my granddaughter for laundry about every two weeks so while the wash is going, we heat to Detwiler's.  They have some things the others don't have.  They make their own cashew butter, apple sauce,and fantastic cherry turnovers.  Good seafood selection.
BJ's.  Every couple of months I head down there.  Household products like detergent, paper towels.  Chicken parts, eggs, butter, things easily frozen if bought in quantity.   Oh, wine too.
I do check the ads for the BOGO every week.  I've never paid full price for some items as they repeat.  Haagen Dazs ice cream for instance. Sale prices are good and catch my eye at times, but if I want a particular item for dinner tonight, I get it.
