well all this is fine but with gas $4 a gallon or so you probably will spend more in gas running from store to store and looking for an ethnic grocery store. Personally I would have to drive probably 30 miles to get to an ethnic store. I shop at SaveALot all the time. Their prices are rarely beat by anybody! They do take coupons but I rarely bother because I find the that 95% of the time their brands are better or at least just as good as the big name brands. SaveALot and Aldi's can't be beat!

Don't be silly or fooled by this article. Save your run around time and gas by just going to Aldi. If one is near you, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Nothing to lose with their money back guarantee. Great prices on your so called "staples" and tastes just as good , if not better than the national brands. Example....I just finished a bowl of rice squares (think Chex) from a box that cost $1.99. compare that to a box of Chex at Meijer costing just over $4.00. I combine shopping at Aldi for cereal, canned goods and milk (at a minimum) with coupons that are doubled at the chain stores. (usually Meijer, for me) Never use a coupon on an item that you wouldn't normally buy, don't fall prey to the 10 for 10 thing if you normally get the item for less than a dollar and the most important thing you can do to save money....make a list and stick to it.

wow. must be nice to live where you would have those choices, but we don't all live in those places.  I and 4,000 other people just like me live where there is only one grocery store within a 40 mile radius. and the only ethnic food we have is canned chinese food and some Mexican food staples.  The nearest ethnic food store is 250 miles away.  That is how it is in the rural America, which the last time I looked at a map covered a large portion of the US.  I'm with the comment that said this writer needs to leave his bedroom and maybe even the city.

ethnic grocery store? Is that a chain? And how does the author know how much you would save shopping there. All savings are stated "you could save xxx". Yea, and maybe not. This article proves "you can't fix stupid".

I have been shopping at Aldi for a very long time.  Their dairy products have the longest shelf life of any of the chain stores near me because they move so much product.  About 70% of my food dollars are spent there with the remainder at Wal-Mart.  I have saved $1,000's over the years.

I work for a large grocery chain and I can tell you that we don't discount at night, the openers in our stores do the manager specials between 7 and 9 am.   Most of this article is bull, who has time, or money to run from place to place for groceries.  Watch for the loss leaders, shop the outside edge of the store, and buy at the end of the season when holiday stuff goes on sale that is how to save at the grocery store.

Most of the stores where I shop are open 24 hours, so there is no getting things at low cost close to closing time.

No mention of Wal-Mart? How typical!

 

For Del Monte diced tomatoes, Wal-Mart charges less per can than Costco does for a box of eight cans (.94 @ Wal-Mart vs .97 per can or 7.75 per box of 8 at Costco). I pay less for coffee bags, canned soups, Frito Lay snacks, Ketchup, bread (sometimes 1/3 LESS per loaf than my local supermarket for the same bread) at Wal-Mart. And don't even get me started on the cost of paper goods, plastic bags & wrap, detergents, and light bulbs.. Wal-Mart blows them ALL out of the water. But MSNBC mustn't forget their vendetta against all things Wal-Mart.

Ethnic grocery stores? You mean those stores that sell produce from the neighbor's yard where the neighbor is free to spray illegal pesiticides 10 minutes before harvest? Tasty treats. Why not just import directly from Mexico where raw effluent is commonly used on leafly vegetables (translation raw turds on your lettuce)

 

Ethnic markets? Try legal inspected produce markets.

Really colleges and universities are breeding grounds for communism.  Spoken like a true ignorant moron.  THEY TOOK OUR JOBS.  GUUUUUUHHH  TOOK R JOOOOBS.

Support communism!  Buy Walt-Mart.  Then watch them grow stronger as we grow weaker.  Finally, China invades and takes the rest of what they don't already own in America!

Koki Sola---take your Che Guevera fetish elsewhere. All the products I buy at Wal-Mart are made in America---I check the labels. Wal-Mart is STILL an American-owned company, by the way.

 

And as far as Wal-Mart being communist goes, I pay less at Wal-Mart because they are non-union---unlike our local Supermarkets, which are unionized. Unions are the ultimate commie breeding grounds (along with Colleges and Universities). So, if you want to be anti-communist, go to Wal-Mart---where the commie unions haven't sunk their talons in yet. Just make sure you read the labels.
