1. Always shop at Dollar Tree first.
2. Take a list when you shop at Wal-Mart or Target, if it not on the list, forget it.
3. Shop the ads for BOGO at Publix/Lucky/Albertsons/Safeway.
4. Check out things on ad at Costco, or on sale. I got boneless chik breasts there last week, $2 a lb, one day before expiration date.
Local Asian markets and Fresh N' Easy (meat products) have the cheapest groceries in my area. $0.25-$.30 something a pack or a pound on vegetables and fruits on sales is quite common in Asian markets. I don't think I have seen anything like that in regular markets.
Forget Walmart,ALdI's IS the cheapest supermarket anyone can go too for staples.
Plus ,who really wants too deal with that large crowd at Walmart?
There is way too much going on at Wally's to even concentrate on anything.
People getting there nails done,cashing checks,shopping for eyeglasses and clothes get to be way to much.
I also don't consider Costco,BJ's,and Sam Club cheap either.
Some of the bulk items cost more than if you had bought 5 single items.
Dollar Tree can have good deals on snack foods,but that's about it.

ALDI really is a great store to buy a lot of one's staple items. Don't like the meats there, but the quality of their butter, cheeses, chips, salsa, guacamole, crackers and pantry items is on par with any name brand and at just about half the price. Once I started shopping there I was amazed at how good their products are. They also stock produce in season, and again, at the best price anywhere, including my little farm stand. I go there every three weeks or so and stock up on a lot of these items and then buy my meats and other items at Super Target. Really works for me.
No, it's not. I don't eat junk food, and don't feed it to him. High quality pet food is much better than junk grocery pet food.
If you are lucky enough to be able to afford it, you're right. We have a cat who is 13 yrs and started looking that old. He bounced back on a regular diet of the more costly pet store cat foods. Our Shop Rite supermarket also shaves (you can request shaved cold cuts) a quarter pound of imported ham for him once a week. He gets half of that at a sitting, as an appetizer often.

Just my shopping plan.
We go to Restaurant Depot and get boneless chicken breasts for $0.59/lb.. but u gotta buy 40lbs
Trader Joe's saves me a lot--organic chicken for 7 bucks (2 1/2#). Olive oil, cereals, flax meal, granola bars, fish (salmon, swordfish) tea, soy milk, toilet paper--all stuff cheaper than the chain grocery stores and healthier. And, their prices don't go up too much at one time. Some stuff stays the same for years...
Some places don't have an Aldi's or Trader Joe's..I don't think that either one of those stores is within 3 states of me. I agree, I avoided Wal-Mart and Target, would not step in those stores when I lived in a high density area...My Mom came to see me, she loves Wal-Mart, I told her forget it...it took a half a day to get out of that place.
No Aldi's
No Trader Joe's
No Kroger's
No Dollar Tree
No Publix
No Lucky's
No Albertson's
The nearest one of any of those is at least 2,500 miles away. I think there is a Whole Foods on Oahu now so that's only several hundred miles away but we'd need a boat to get there. Or pay plane fare.
No super walmart, either - although there is a regular Walmart fifty miles away but I only go in there to look at WalMartians.
But we do have a local butcher with grass fed cows, an Asian store, two farmer's markets and a small locally owned grocery store. At the next town over (fifteen miles away) there is a larger locally owned grocery store as well as a Foodland. They aren't locally owned since they originate from Oahu and not this island. We also have friends who raise cows and lambs and there is a local slaughterhouse to process them so sometimes we get meat from them, too. Other friends have honeybees. Other friends grow hydroponic lettuce. It's nice to know exactly where one's food comes from.
