Saving Money on Grocery Staples

It's always a good idea to keep a list of items you purchase regularly and compare shop on things like toilet paper, butter, eggs, bread, milk etc. Keep track of prices for these items.

Often, but not always, Aldi has much lower prices than other well known stores and things like Almond milk can be up to $1 less than elsewhere.

Make sure you compare not just prices but sizes.  Recently I thought a large package of toilet paper was a good price at Costco until I compared the square footage of the same brand in Walmart and found that Walmart was actually cheaper for the same number of rolls (but not in a bulk package).

Lacura Q10 night cream is $3.89 at Aldi and is between $9 and $17 on Amazon.
