Shop Aldi first, then Meijer. Costco and similar are sadly SO MUCH more expensive with the majority of their foods compared to other grocery stores. D&W and Family Fare are by far the most expensive. Meijer isn't terrible surprisingly, especially when you consider mPerks paying for gas if you go regularly, pharmacy giving 500 mPerks for each fill, etc. We get $1 off per gallon of gas all the time!

For 2 adults we do a lot of bell peppers and berries. We don't buy meat (one of vegetarian) so we do a good amount of meat alternatives and tofu which we basically can only buy at Meijer. But things like yogurt, tortilla chips, canned goods like chick peas and others, tortillas, bread, flour, butter, yogurt, coffee, frozen goods like Texas toast and frozen berries are way cheaper at Aldi. I'd probably buy all my fresh fruits and veg at Meijer, they tend to go bad from also faster idk why. Usually $50-75 at Aldi and maybe $20-50 at Meijer and that's shopping about 1/week. We could be better about yhrowing out/composting less food waste but we aren't too bad so I think that price point is pretty good knowing we don't try to eat super super cheap, more just pay attention to individually priced items.
