24 Incredible Ways to Spend Less Money on Food

Head to a stripped-down store

A final store option may be to head to a stripped-down retailer. Aldi may be the best-known store in this category, but Save-A-Lot is another option in my area.

These stores offer a limited selection, and they might not bag your groceries. In addition, they might require you to deposit a quarter to use a cart.

However, in exchange, you get low prices.

Aldi has a loyal fan base, but I must admit my experiences have only been so-so. Still, if you have a store nearby, it’s worth a trip to see if you can save some money.
