Savvy shoppers make every strategic move to save money at the grocery store, from clipping coupons to stacking cash back with apps. But do traditional supermarkets and big-box retailers still have the best deals — or should shoppers pivot exclusively to shopping at Aldi?

GOBankingRates dug deep into the Aldi website to uncover 50 items that cost less there than if you went elsewhere. The total savings start at a few cents and work their way up to a few dollars.
