#5 Trader Joe’s
You may not have expected to see this store on our list of the cheapest grocery stores, but when you think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense. Trader Joe’s is known to sell most of its own brand of products, and this makes them one of the most affordable stores out there. They efficiently eliminate the middleman from this equation, making everything extremely affordable and establishing themselves in the homes of Americans!
This doesn’t mean that they don’t have other brands in their store either. They just made sure that they were cutting down on the supplier’s shelving fees, which in turn ensures that the vendors in their stores sell their products at a discount.
Despite this, the true star of the show is their own products, with a lot of their frozen or pre-made foods becoming staples in the lives of many Americans. Besides these, they also have some of the most unique offerings of foods and taste combinations, offering anyone who is willing to try a world of adventure when it comes to new cuisines, but adapted for a more western palate!
They do have one drawback, though: they are known to never ever have coupons. This is because the grocery store maintains that they have the lowest prices possible for all their products, so there is no way for them to offer them at an even lower price than they already are.
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!!!
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
I think you left off the true winner here, Walmart.
Grocery Outlet-Bargain Market.
