[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]

Some of the frugal homemaking sites suggest a price book - write down the price, with coupon, etc.  After a while you will know the best prices.  
Personally, I agree with the PPs, the first thing is to reduce what how much you are buying (eliminate waste) and what you are buying (reduce more expensive foods).  Then if you have a lot more time than money, do the price book and stock up on items that are a good price when you are near that store.  Just a caution that if you stock up on bananas and end up only using half, you have paid double for what you did use.[/quote]
