[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question on this is how to track what is cheaper where?  So for example....you need bananas....do you get them at Aldi, Costco, Trader Joe's, or Giant with a coupon?  Replace bananas with anything you need to buy....eggs, TP, paper towels, apples, milk, etc etc.  The unit pricing changes regularly I would assume, so how do you know where to buy certain things? Any helpful hints on this?  Is something ALWAYS cheaper at Aldi?  Is something ALWAYS cheaper at Costco?[/quote]

I think trying to figure out how to save $.20 on bananas is not really the key.  The key is to buy healthy food that you will actually eat at a reasonable price, consistently.  This depends more on meal planning, not buying duplicates, not letting things spoil.  Just driving to an extra store to save some money on whatever product might negate your savings in gas costs alone, not to mention your time.

There are a couple of things I prefer to buy from Costco because I've observed the savings are real, and that would be spices and produce, sometimes bread.[/quote]
