      Richard Young I packed up my stuff and decided to move 4 hours from home in like a two week period lmao. If I could I would definitely start investing in pieces for my apartment way before I moved. It’s expensive to completely decorate it.

    The cheapest stores are definitely Aldi and for most things Walmart. Kroger has good sales and digital coupons, too! But in my opinion their brand is the best.

    I just moved into my first apartment too! I’ve been here about a month and the first time I went grocery shopping I didn’t realize how quickly things go bad and that I’m the only one eating here. So the second time I was definitely a lot more selective.

    Always look at different stores. Aldi, Walmart, Costco, Dollar Tree... all of them. First run through JUST browse and take notes on the list (different color pens for different stores) then go back and buy at each store according to cheapest price. Read labels - I refuse to buy anything made with certain ingredients that cause deforestation.

    I didn't even realize America had Aldi! I personally am more of a Lidl shopper but now I want to go and check out Aldi to see the price difference and if they have the items you are showing. I'm guessing that just like Lidle that Aldi mostly sells products that are more suitable to the country the store is in so I'm curious considering the fact that I live in The Netherlands! We'll see though!
