Which Grocery Stores Offer the Best Prices and Quality?
Our ratings of local chains and stores report how each stacks up for price and quality. To compare prices, our researchers used a 154-item list of common items to shop area options. To evaluate stores on quality of products and service, we surveyed area consumers.
Grocery Delivery: Pros, Cons, and Costs of Having Someone Else Do Your Shopping
Getting groceries to you involves sending someone else up and down the aisles to gather your stuff and then bring it to you. This means most delivery businesses are merely transferring shopping labor from you to others—and someone pays for that.
How Much Will You Save on Groceries by Joining a Warehouse Club?
We also compared prices at warehouse clubs. If you’re willing to buy in bulk, you’ll usually save using these low-cost alternatives to grocery stores—but only if you go often enough to justify their membership fees. And you won’t save anything if you throw out half of what you buy.
How do Trader Joe’s, ALDI’s, and Lidl’s Prices Compare?
ALDI and Lidl focus on low costs, and our survey found their prices to be astonishingly inexpensive—cheaper even than Walmart and warehouse clubs. Trader Joe’s also offers lower prices than most supermarket chains, while earning mostly high accolades from its customers.
Which Stores Offer the Lowest Prices for Organic Food?
Prefer to buy organic? You’ll pay a lot more for it—on average, we found organic produce, meat, and dairy products cost 62 percent more than their nonorganic counterparts. But at some stores, this organic-price penalty is higher than at others.
Save on Groceries No Matter Where You Shop
Whichever store you choose, how you shop will substantially impact your annual grocery costs. Here are some saving strategies.
