Does shopping in a cheaper store really save you money?

Does shopping in a cheaper store really save you a significant amount of money? I’ve had this question for years. And now I finally have the answer.

I created a shopping list and compared the prices of all the items in Aldi and Giant. I worked hard to find the most similar items to keep this very honest and real. I also always chose the generic brand when that was available. (That’s a money saver right there!)

Now here are the details:

‍

$99.92 (Giant) - $80.58 (Aldi) = $19.34 saved by shopping in Aldi!

The recommendation isn’t that everyone switch to shopping in Aldi (although that’s not a bad idea.) You may not have one local, or it may just not be your vibe. The recommendation is that you choose a competitively priced store for your weekly shopping. It’s an automatic money saver with low effort.

And as always, be conscious. Make yourself aware of where your money is going.
