It’s no secret that grocery prices have risen drastically, which is why many Americans have been looking for ways to cut back on their food costs. Shopping at the right retailers can make a huge difference in your overall grocery bill, which is why it’s essential to know what stores offer the best value.

Costco was found to be the cheapest grocery store chain nationally, with prices being an average of 21.4% cheaper compared to Walmart. This was followed by BJ’s Wholesale Club, Lidl, Aldi, WinCo, and Texas’ beloved H-E-B, all of which were found to have prices lower than Walmart nationally.
The study by Consumer Reports compared prices on grocery baskets of commonly purchased items at mainstream grocery stores in six regionally representative cities across the U.S. The findings determined that the difference between the highest and lowest priced items in each city was more than 33%.
For those looking to save on their grocery bills, considering a Costco membership or shopping at other affordable stores like Aldi or Lidl may be a viable option.
