We’re cheap I guess. My wife stays home and does the shopping. For a family of 5, she goes to Aldi every week and Costco every 3 weeks. She typically sticks to Aldi’s organic products. They seem higher quality than comparable products at the Walmarts and Kroger/Tom Thumb/Albertsons of the world and considerably cheaper. I prefer Aldi’s organic milk to pretty much everything outside of Kirkland organic. Meat and produce is split between Costco and Aldi depending on quality and how fast we go through it. Aldi for chicken thighs, roasts, and other cheap cuts and Costco for pretty much all other meat. Also produce is real hit or miss, so it generally depends on what they have and how it looks. We can get our staple veggies at Costco if Aldi’s selection looks like crap.
Packaged goods primarily Aldi...mostly cereal for the kids as we don’t eat a lot of that stuff, but also random snacks. Lunch meat, cheese, bread and condiments for kids lunches are primarily from Aldi.
Grocery bill is about $100-$150 a week at Aldi and $200-$300 at Costco every 3 weeks depending on what household items we need. On good weeks, we’ll eat at a restaurant 1-2 times. On a bad week, it’s all weekend meals + wasted food.
HEB in Dallas would likely change everything.
