SAV-A-LOT is NOT cheaper than Aldi.

Some things no, some things yes.

Some times no, some times yes.

Aldi is a very good store but no store always has the best price on comparable items all the time.

Sometimes with the Publix Buy-One-Get One they offer the best value.

We try to take advantage of the best opportunities to stock up no matter which store it may be at.

Agreed. The article included Aldi in the list, and I was thinking about averaging it all out. For the stuff my wife buys (eggs, milk, produce) Aldi is the better deal in our city. So when Aldi finally opened up locally, our bill went down (she HAD been going to Sav-A-Lot on Hamilton, a roughish part of town).

Aldi is a very good store but no store always has the best price on comparable items all the time. Aldi's private labels are of mixed quality. Their tuna fish is hardly a deal at all. It strikes me as the fish version of those bundled mortgages that were sold in 2008.

Sometimes with the Publix Buy-One-Get One they offer the best value.

Agreed. Our predisposition, schedules, and temperament of our youngest do not allow for shopping at numerous stores. We max out at two, usually an odd couple of Aldi/Fresh Market ground chuck. Occasionally Winn-Dixie for name brand stuff or other items not available at Aldi. My wife is not a sales maven because she'd rather keep to her shopping discipline rather than buy whatever's on sale (except fresh meat). She wouldn't pick up two jumbo boxes of Super Golden Crisp at the Publix if they were free. She keeps my junk impulses under control. I found the Dollar Tree $1 close out on Count Chocula and Frankenberry tempting.

We try to take advantage of the best opportunities to stock up no matter which store it may be at.

Sounds like you know the game and play it well. Cheers!
