Save Money at the Grocery Store
Do you enjoy grocery shopping or do you put it off for as long as possible? When I finally take time to buy food, it seems like I end up spending so much that I remember why I didn't want to go in the first place! Follow these tips for keeping your grocery costs low.
1. Before you go to the store, check your pantry and freezer. How many meals could you pull together if you bought just one or two more ingredients?
2. Shop from a prepared list. Buy what you need and avoid spontaneous purchases that bust your budget.
3. Know your store. When do they stock? When do they mark down high-ticket items like meat? What is their store brand? Where are their reduced items? What are this week's loss leaders ?
4. Take advantage of coupons, but only on things that you already use.
5. Price match. Be aware of what things cost.
6. Evaluate if buying in bulk would be cost-effective for you. Will you consume the entire product before the expiration date? Do you have room to store it in the meantime?
7. In-season fruits and veggies cost less than out-of-season specialty foods. Consider buying extra and freezing for later in the year.
8. Try a store brand product for a while and see if your family notices. Many stores offer a money-back guarantee if you don't like their brand as well.
9. Compare units for best value. For example, sometimes two 1-pound bags of carrots cost less than one 2-pound bag, so shop smart.
10. Choose convenience products only when you need the convenience.
11. Shop for non-food items like cleaning products and makeup at discount stores; they usually cost more at a grocery store.
**In general, the fewer trips you make to the store, the less money, time, and energy you'll spend.

Saving Big Bucks at Aldi by Kimberly Danger
I recently made my first trip to the brand new Aldi grocery store in my town. I had big expectations – moms have been raving about it on Mommysavers for years. My first impression didn’t generate fireworks – in fact, I was a little disappointed. The store was much smaller than I expected, dimly lit, and product selection was pretty shallow (Aldi only stocks about 1,000 products compared to over 25,000 of the typically grocery store). The products were about as exciting as the black and white generics of years ago. They didn’t rely upon the regular supermarket tricks such as mood music and great smells to get shoppers to linger.
Upon deeper inspection, I began to see why moms get so excited about it. Atmosphere aside, this is a bargain hunter’s paradise. You can save money -- serious money, if you shop there regularly. They even stock “Special Purchase” items -- good only while supplies last -- that appeal to the shopper that likes the element of surprise
For those of you not familiar, Aldi is a discount grocery chain that started its US operations in 1976. Originating in Germany, it now operates in 18 countries around the world. It now has over 850 stores in the US and is the 24th largest grocer in terms of gross sales – which is quite an accomplishment considering its small size. By limiting its product selection and working with manufacturers to secure the lowest prices on its own brand, it can pass the savings along to you.
Here’s what you need to know before you go: Aldi only accepts cash. Leave your checks and credit cards at home. The carts are locked up outside the store, and you must “rent” one by depositing a quarter when you take it. They do provide grocery bags, but you must pay for them (paper bags are 5 cents and plastic bags are 10 cents each). They also do not accept manufacturers’ coupons.
Products I found to be much less than grocery store prices were their loaves of bread, their canned veggies and their produce. The bargain I was especially excited about was a Dole pineapple for $1.59. I had recently seen them at another grocery store for over $4, so this was a steal. Plus, it tasted great!
Most of their prices are so low you can afford to take a chance on taste. They even offer a double money-back guarantee on their products which states they will replace the product in addition to refunding your money if you don’t like it. My kids say their Moo-Moo yogurt is just as good as Trix (maybe even better, according to my 7-year-old). The only product I’ve tried that I didn’t care for was their diet cola – but I am fiercely brand loyal in that category.
Let’s let the facts speak for themselves. A price comparison of things the average mom would commonly buy shows that Aldi is on average 18% less than Walmart and 22% less than a local grocery chain (Cub Foods). I compared Aldi’s prices with the store-brand counterparts (or lowest cost alternative) at the other two stores. Every single product (with the exception of canned tuna) was priced lower at Aldi.

The margins here may not seem big, but consider this. If you’re accustomed to spending $500 per month on groceries, an overall savings of 23% (over Walmart) would add up to $1,380 per year. A savings of 26% (over Cub Foods) would amount to $1,560 per year.
