Other ways to save money
Regardless if you shop at Aldi or not, you’ll want to follow a few general tips.
One includes buying store-brand items over name brands.
This is said to save shoppers up to 30%.
And if you’re worried about sacrificing the taste of store-brand products compared with prominent brands – you shouldn’t.
A market research study by IRi found that 75% of respondents think the quality of store brand items is just as good as major ones in the country, as cited by Ramsey Solutions.
Plus, shoppers should be on the lookout for clearance items.
At Walmart, for example, you could save up to 90% by taking advantage of deals in that section.
Also, buying products in bulk with longer shelf life could be another way to go so you make fewer runs to the grocery store.
For instance, one shopper spent less than $100 on groceries that lasted a couple of weeks for two people by following that strategy.
