Do you spend too much money on groceries?

Last week we spent over $100 for "healthy" groceries at one of our local grocery stores. And, the sad part is, the groceries only last a week. Today we decided to shop at Walmart and got much better deals.
We spent $25 less for the same stuff we had purchased the week before. Actually we ended up getting more groceries for less money. I had forgotten what good deals they have. Where do you shop for the best grocery deals?

Just this afternoon I went to one of the biggest supermarket for shopping and spent sixty RMB for food. It is a large sum for me to pay that much for food at one time, but it will last some days before I go and buy some more another day.

Walmart is definitely the best place for quality groceries. The closest regular grocery store we have is a P&C (they have the same parent ompany as Big Bear and Bi-Lo I believe). If I spend $100 there it will cover 3-4 days! I only buy the basics there like milf and bread and things I an't buy to far in adane. Te Walmart Super Center is almost an hour from here so it's a major trip. Another store that is still quite a distance but has low prices is Aldi's. I don't care for the quality of their stuff but it is cheap. I can do a weeks worth of CHEAP meals for $50. I wouldn't dare do any more shopping than that there as their stuff seems to spoil faster. The best I have locally is a little family run grocery store. It's a little run down and doesn't have a huge selection but it works and doesn't cost too much, $100 would probqably cover a week and a half at least of normal budget meals plus a few extras.

We do most of our grocery shopping at Aldis or wal-mart. We spend 50.00 a week. That includes paper products and laundry supplies. The prices have really been going up. We try hard to use less meat and are eating a lot more rice,pasta and beans. These are cheap and very filling. Tomorrow I am making pork fried rice from some left over pork steak from last nights dinner. We use all our leftovers. Waste not want not as my grandma used to say.
