They all suck. Go with a union grocery store like shop rite.

Aldi, Costco, shoprite and my local Indian market are my stops. Gotta put in a little work to save money

Aldi / Walmart / ShopRite are my weekly local loop, and in that order.

Where possible, take pictures of price labels ($x/lb) and save them to an easy-to-find album on your phone to compare. Watch your turnover rate - If bulk pricing is winning but you're tossing perishables before finishing, adjust.

Generally, Aldi is always the place I get the most for my money

As everyone has mentioned, go to multiple stores. Each one mentioned, including ShopRite, has certain items that are better values (quality for price) than the others.

Costco if you shop smartly

We shop around but get most our staples at ShopRite. I look at the free mailers every week and make a determination from there. We also go to Wegmans. If you go to Acme enough their ‘For U’ coupons are amazing. My original bill this past weekend was for $50, but with all the coupons it got knocked down to $25.

I stay away from Whole Foods unless I need specialty items.

Depends on the item-Target is cheaper for some stuff but typically Aldi is best overall. We also do Costco for bulk items.

Wegmans, Aldi, Lidl, local farmer's markets. You have to shop around.

Walmart isn't cheap lol.

Since Lidl’s opened by me that’s where I’ve done most of my food shopping. Price and quality on point.

Aldi and Walmart are the cheapest. I find I spend a lot less at Aldi over all, because there are way less items to impulse buy. If you stick to your list, Walmart has more variety

Get the app on your phone for your local stores. Scan items you normally buy into each to see who is the cheapest.

Me normally it’s Wegmans, Target (because their card knocks 5% off), then ShopRite.

You really have to go all over, as others have said. My brother does all his shopping at shop rite and complains about his food bill.

I buy protein from a small local chain. The rest is TBD. Definitely check out your local Indian grocery and those farmer markets. My local one was good, now it gets a lot of hate. Walmart, Target. Shop rite has good sale prices. Not great regular prices.

Replying to low_effort_shit-post (#1,401,751)

Agreed. But case in point as I said earlier: i bought 7lbs of 88/12 ground beef for $3.99/lb. At my local shoprite its nearly twice that. In less than an hour I broke that 7lbs into (4) 1lb and (6) 1/2 lb packs using my vacuum sealer. Id say thats an hour well spent

I have to mix it up. Costco, ShopRite, and farmer’s markets. I like to stock up on tasty frozen things from Trader Joe’s.

We do the aldi, walmart, shoprite group. But watch the sales. We usually buy whats on sale that week, a little in the freezer for variety After a couple weeks, you will find out what aldi products you like, and watch your prices on staples, you will figure out which is cheapest for what you buy.

Aldi was my first choice, but now I shop Lidl. I find their produce to be much better and the stores are cleaner.
