I have only been in Save a Lot 2 times. Not so impressed, wanted to check them out because they do accept manufacturers coupons. But my personal opinion was that I liked the feel of Aldi better. But that is not to say that there are not some good deals there. So to learn more about Save a Lot I did a price comparison for the specials they have coming up next week against Aldi prices. These are against their own brands.
Let me know which do you prefer? Are you a Save a lot shopper? Were you surprised by the results?

I did the same thing Audrey. I used to even write down all my receipts and every item we bought and put into a spread sheet to stay on our $50 a week budget at that time! I will be posting more comparisons for sure!! Thank you so much for checking out this blog!!
