Shopping for the same groceries at Walmart and Aldi: REVIEW

• Both Walmart and Aldi have announced some big discounts on Thanksgiving staples this year.
• It was difficult to find all the items I needed in both stores, although Walmart felt easier to navigate.
• Aldi had lower prices than Walmart across the board, but I didn’t find everything I needed there.

Both Aldi and Walmart have announced big deals for Thanksgiving this year.

Walmart has announced a list of his groceries to help feed eight people $7 per personwhile Aldi says it can feed 10 for under $5 per person. Each retailer’s menu includes about a dozen dishes and presumably the ingredients you need to serve them all.

Both retailers seemed to offer a lot of value, but I wanted to see which offered the better shopping experiences and prices as I prepare for Thanksgiving.

I used the above shopping lists as inspiration and adapted them to look like what I would actually cook. Whenever possible, I bought ingredients that stores included in their promotions.

Here’s how the prices and overall shopping experience compare.
