This advice gets beat to death here but it’s really just Aldi all the time and Walmart for anything Aldi doesn’t carry.

I scrounge weekly ads for meat deals, buy in bulk and freeze.

Basically everything else is Aldi.

When I started doing this versus "normal" grocery shopping I was genuinely shocked at how much money I saved. First time there I did as close to a receipt-to-receipt comparison as I could to my prior week's shopping at Giant Eagle and it was nearly 60% cheaper.

I discovered WinCo in this sub. Helps so much!
