Mark and I spent a good deal of the day comparison shopping between 3 stores.
Since my store that I used to go to is closing I wanted to check my options.
We went to Walmart, Meijer and Aldi. I was really surprised with the results between Walmart and Meijer. Here's the breakdown:
Savings going to Walmart over Meijer- $9.44
Savings going to Aldi over Walmart- $12.59
Savings going to Aldi over Meijer - $ 22.03
There were just a couple things that Aldi didn't carry so I put in the largest cost since I'd have to go somewhere else.
This makes my choice pretty clear- Aldi is in my future for groceries!
