I shop at Aldi a lot and a local grocery store.
My biggest money saver is having my menu and knowing what I need to get so I don't impulse buy or over buy. Since my own kids are now grown it is just Dh and I so it is not like it use to be where the food would get eaten. I plan vegetarian meals several times a week. I do not compromise quality for price though. I buy as much organic as I can. So for example if I am feeding bagels twice this week I will freeze the rest for next week so they do not go bad. I make sure I do not over buy fresh produce. I think the most costly thing is wasted food! I rarely buy bread because we will not eat a loaf before it goes bad.
