Couponing Tips to Reduce Food Costs?

[KTsKids]

I hate hearing about all your great produce. Our Aldi has crappy produce. I take the ad to Walmart to price match some of it. My son after he started working at the Walmart distribution center told me that at least in our area, Aldi buys all the produce that doesn't match the sweetness and freshness tests that WM does on them.

I spoke to an employee at my Aldi's to find out when they get their produce shipment and I always try to shop that afternoon. The Walmart near me has produce that is real hit and miss, and the prices on groceries at my Wal-Mart are outrageous. If I can't get to Aldi's I always go to Kroger. The seem to have the most lenient coupon policies and even without coupons I can usually get pretty good deals there.

I know I've kind of strayed of the topic of coupons but do any of you use Sam's of Costco? I'm wondering if you save enough for it to be worth it.

That's smart! I'll be sure to ask. Walmart produce is SO expensive and awful here, so I usually only go when I need to stock up on non-perishable things. I wish we had a Krogers. We really only have Price Shopper and Shop Rite (boo).

Does anyone use the big boxed stores for savings? I'm a BJs member, but sometimes I really wonder if I'm saving money there.

I have a sam's membership but hate their produce. It is either greener than green, or going south. I am starting to think your produce selection depends on where you live.
