I was going to suggest Aldi's when I first saw this thread but was beat to it several times. All of the products I have tried from there have ranged from nearly equal to to superior to national brands.

They don't have the wide selection of most grocery stores nor the same things all the time, so my drill is to go to Aldi's and get what I can off the list, then get what I couldn't at a regular grocery store. The savings much more than pay for making two trips. If it's a long trip you could take a cooler for frozen and refrigerated items and do it in one trip.

Don't forget to get your non-grocery items like dish soap and such at Aldi's, too. Big savings there.

I don't know how Pa laws are, but in Michigan Aldi's carries Winking Owl wines. At $3.00/bottle isn't much cost if you add a cup or so to a soup and really turns it into something special.

Great wine deals at Aldi’s, and some other products, too-especially chocolate.

Check the country of origin, though, on food. I find it is missing on many of their items, and I will not buy garlic since it comes from China-at least at my Aldi’s.

Great suggestion about going to Aldi first and about the soap, etc. Thanks! I need to see if they have the wine you suggested - I’m in NC.
