Is Walmart really cheaper?

I took a recent receipt from a trip to Aldi and compared it to Walmart. Take a look at the results.
Many people think I am a big couponer, but I just use them for certain items. I like to find the best price and buy it the easy way. I am not only a saver but a time saver too and know everyone does not have the time to coupon. :)

There are real deals in coupons though so if this is a way you can save your family money, please do it.


Did you know?   Aldi has owned Trader Joe’s since 1979!

Free Movie at Redbox

I wanted to see the Courageous movie that just came out today. Scored it for free with the promo code - DVDONME

You can use it to so get yourself a free movie!!!

Meats - What is the best price?

Getting the deals for meats really adds up on the grocery budget. Also don't forget you don't also have to use the suggested amount in a recipe either.

Here are my buy now prices for meat. You can find lower prices sometimes but you shouldn't have to pay more than these prices at any of the major grocery stores. You just have to remember to look for the sales (every six weeks or so).

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, $1.99/lb.
  • Chicken Breast Bone-in, $0.98/lb.
  • 80/20 Ground Beef, $1.99/lb
  • Whole Chicken, $0.79/lb.
  • Ribeye Steak, $5.99/lb.
  • Beef Roast, $2.49/lb.
  • Boneless Pork Loin, $1.99/lb.
  • Pork Chops, $1.99/lb.
  • Salmon, $6.98/lb
Also don't forget to look for meat on markdown. I buy the meat in bulk when it is on sale and then freeze it.

I also used to buy more Chicken Breast but now I buy the Chicken Breast with the bone-in. It has lots of good flavor and is a lot cheaper too.
