#3 WinCo Foods
If you happen to live in the Pacific Northwest, then you are probably very accustomed to seeing these huge grocery stores around. And while they may not be as popular as other warehouse stores that may come to mind when you think of such stores, they are still managing to differentiate themselves and bring up even more perks than their “cousins.”
What we mean by that is that WinCo Foods manages to reach third place in affordability due to a number of different things. One of them is the idea behind the store itself: these 90,000-square-foot stores are employee-owned and function as big grocery stores with bulk sections that are just as big as one can imagine. They also manage to cut costs and be appealing to customers because they do not charge for a membership to be able to shop there!
They do not advertise, employ baggers (something others are known for as well), or accept credit cards either! They cut a lot of costs that would otherwise rack up the prices, and this continuously growing Idaho-based chain just keeps on getting more and more successful. If you’re in the area, stop by and get some of the best deals on organic products and bulk purchases you’ve ever seen!

Grocery Outlet-Bargain Market.
I think you left off the true winner here, Walmart.
Moved to South Carolina a few years back and found Aldi’s about 20 minutes away (drive-time) Well worth the drive time. Have never had an issue with any of products, Esp.their prices and employee’s are always very professional and helpful
Aldi #1…wow!!! Old and rotten vegetables and fruit might be cheap but not worth it when most of it gets thrown out. Non-perishables are not bad but average it out it is not worth the trip to Aldi!!!
