I shop at Aldi, Walmart, Save-a-lot, and Meijer on a weekly basis. It's a chore, but with today's prices, you gotta do what ya gotta do to survive.

Read moreAldi is generally my favorite place to shop for groceries I typically need. With the lowest possible milk prices, a very good produce section and good quality meats. But Aldi also carries a fine selection of groceries with a good choice on generic products. The generics are typically as good or better than name brands maybe your used to. It's hassle free shopping, no surprises and great prices. For best savings, bring your own bags or you can purchase bags at a nickel each for paper. And have a quarter ready for a shopping cart. You get the quarter back when you return the cart. This helps keep costs low by not having to pay someone to...
