The days of getting the weekly groceries at a single store are long gone, Axios' Kelly Tyko and Mimi Montgomery report.

• Why it matters: Consumers are increasingly hitting up multiple grocery stores as they stock the fridge to save money and find exclusive items. Blame it on inflation and the rise of the private store brand.

The Wall Street Journal recently dubbed the end of the era of the one-stop grocery shop as a move to "treasure-hunt grocery shopping."

🧮 By the numbers: The average shopper purchased grocery items at 20.7 unique retailers between March 2023 and February 2024, data company Numerator found.

• Grocery shoppers made 8% more trips in 2023 than they did in 2022, according to data AlixPartners shared with Axios.
• Online grocery orders are also increasingly in the mix.

Between the lines: The trend of shopping at multiple stores has been growing along with store loyalty programs.

• "I haven't [one-stop] shopped in years," Claire McDonough of Alexandria, Va., told us.
• McDonough buys staples online at Giant, using coupons and deals for gas discounts, then picks it all up. For everything else, it's Whole Foods — the money she saves via Giant's discounts goes toward organic dairy, meat and produce, she says.

Apple today unveiled Apple Intelligence — its plan to harness advances in AI to improve the software that powers the iPhone, Mac and other products, Axios' Ina Fried writes from the launch event at Apple Park in Cupertino, Calif.

• Why it matters: Apple has been the slowest of the major tech companies to detail a generative AI strategy. Today's event was its broadest effort yet to hang the banner of modern AI over its popular products.

What's new: Apple is using generative AI to improve Siri, offer writing tips and create images.

• Apple is also using AI within mail to sort and summarize messages.

Apple customers will have free access to ChatGPT without needing to create an account. For especially challenging queries, Siri will ask users if they'd rather get a response from ChatGPT.

• That's why OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (above) was on hand at the announcement.

More from the event.
