But just how much can you really save by shopping at these discount retailers?
GOBankingRates talked to two dedicated budget shoppers who shared their experiences and savings.
Heres why they only shop at budget grocery stores and how much they save, exactly.
When I first moved here, I was driving to Whole Foods and passed this place, Sarah said.
I impulsively decided to turn into the parking lot.
Best day of my life.
Her monthly grocery bill is down to around $600.
Like half the price!
Pantry staples: All those canned goods, pasta and other stuff you always need?
Sarah says theyre often 15%-20% cheaper.
NOSH section:Their Natural, Organic, Specialty, Healthy (NOSH) section is a goldmine.
I just scored some Annies organic salad dressing for 99 cents!
Were always trying new stuff because of Grocery Outlet and usually its a major hit!
He shops for himself and his partner, and like Sarah, he loves his savings.
Before we discovered Aldi, we wereeasilydropping $500 a month on groceries, Jason shared.
Now were down to about $350 a month.
Dairy and eggs:We save a bunch on eggs, specifically.
Their organic options are actually a really good deal too.
Meat:Prices on meat are usually 15%-25% lower at Aldi.
Their chicken and ground beef?
Thats where the real savings are.
Pantry staples:All that boring stuff likepasta, rice and canned goods?
Often 30%-40% cheaper than the big brands at other stores.
It really adds up.
Were probably saving 50% or more on snacks alone.
Jasons a big fan of Aldis no-frills approach.
Shopping at Aldi is quick and easy, he said.
Yeah, there are fewer choices, but for us, thats actually a plus.
It makes shopping way less of a headache.
