One of my favorite things to do is find a bargain. It may be a genetic trait handed down, or maybe I just love the satisfaction it gives me to get something for less. Either way, I love being able to save money on just about anything. And grocery shopping is NO exception. This is why I do most of my shopping at Aldi. I wasn’t always and Aldi shopper, but over the past few years I have come to love it. I turned my nose up at first and didn’t like how small the store was. But one summer while some roads to our main grocery store were closed for road work, I decided to give it another shop. I’m so glad I did because I honestly have a hard time shopping anywhere else now. I truly love the size of Aldi now because it takes me a lot less time to shop. And I don’t think I could ever go back to a grocery store bill that’s 40% more expensive. There are still things that I have to grab from a Super Target or grocery store that Aldi just doesn’t carry, but for the most part, everything we buy is from Aldi. One of the things I love about Aldi is that eating healthy and organic food doesn’t have to be an expensive habit. HOW TO COMPARE PRICES FROM HOME

Love these tips. Aldi just showed up in our area in the last year and honestly I haven't stepped foot inside. I guess I'm going to have to. I, too, decide what the weeks meals will be, list out the ingredients I don't have or need to stock back up on (we use lots of spices over packets) off I go. Frozen meals - I create soups and stews to freeze and these are mine and my husbands lunches. yummy and easy.

It took me a few tries to get used to how they're laid out and that it really isn't like a typical store, but I ended up loving it. I love your idea about frozen soups and stews for lunch!

These are all really useful tips. I definitely need to plan my meals in advance... and to visit Aldi as I never go, even though there is one pretty close to where I live!

It took a while to get used to Aldi, and I had to give it a few chances. Now I love it and don't really do a lot of shopping other places.

Great and useful tips. I usually don't buy in excess as well no matter the good deal. Wish we have Aldi around my corner but i would love to shop there someday.

It took me a few tries to really fall in love with it, but now it's my go-to store. :)

This sounds smart. I also like all these stores like Aldi, Lidl, and others. They are comfortable enough and offer better prices, so I usually enjoy both parts of this experience.

I have only been into an Aldi once and now you've got me curious enough to try going in again. I tend to do most of my shopping as locally as I can, but that's not always something you can do when your feeding more than two.

I really wish I could do better at the zero waste. It takes a lot of work but I really know it's worth it in the end.

Such great tips all around! Besides shopping what's in season and growing some of our own produce, we keep running lists of staples that we go through in bulk, then restock once a month as needed at several discount grocery chains near us (as well as Costco!).

I eat a pretty healthy, mostly organic diet and am able to maintain it on a small budget. I think the key is planning and preparation!

I love these tips that you shared.I always eat healthy and it gets me annoyed when people say healthy eating is expensive. There will always be excuses when one doesn't want to try something.
