Walmart was a better store back in the day when the old man was alive. I’ve started shopping at a German grocery store here in the States called ALDI. The prices are like 1985. Check them out if you have one around.
ALDI is super competitive.
They don’t have all the name brands, but they undercut everybody. If you are ok with what they sell, pretty much impossible to beat on price.
Our nearest one is about 10 miles away and I only shop for us 2, so groceries not a big budget item. For anybody with a bunch of kids, it would be a must.
There’s also a small chain in my old home town of Cleveland named Marcs which is very aggressive and often lower than WM.
If it’s the same Aldi that we have in our area they have DELICIOUS spaghetti sauce.
That’s funny.
I just went to Aldi’s an hour ago while the Sirloin was on the grill. They have boneless pork butte for $199# . That is a pretty good price. Not as good as I got fourteen months ago, huge overstock blowout sale, they bought too much and where selling it for $.89#, but still at least $1 cheaper than even the normal bone in.
The same people own Trader Joe’s
Aldi is awesome. They get about half of our grocery budget every month.
We've got a Walmart and an Aldi's less than a quarter mile apart. My wife shops at both of them, cherry picking the best goods and bargains between them.
Gotta admit that Aldi's has great prices, but the food quality, though acceptable, leaves something to be desired.
I agree. Got 10lb bag of potatoes, 6 lbs of sweet potatoes, 2 celery, 6 lbs of onions, 3 bags of cranberries, coffee creamer, 24 pk of water and some turkey flavor enhancer.
13 items total came to $17 and change. The most expensive was the turkey flavor for $3.49 for 12 pouches which will be for several meals.
Wish the butter was cheaper again this year at Aldi’s but I got 6 Land o Lakes at Kroger for $2.49 each.
I’m a sale shopper, but can’t find enough at Walmart to make it worth my while to shop there...
