The rising cost of groceries could reshape the way you shop. And that may mean trying a new store to get the lowest prices.<\/p>\n

We did the legwork and compared two top retailers to find the best bargains. Even though Walmart is a go-to for customers who want to trim expenses, you can save money at Aldi<\/a> on some of the most sought-after products.<\/p>\n

Which buys deserve a spot in your cart? Here are 14 affordable items to get at Aldi instead of Walmart.<\/p>\n

1. Priano Extra Virgin Olive Oil\"priano<\/p>\n

priano extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n

Price: $6.49<\/p>\n

Extra virgin olive oil may seem like a gourmet option you can’t afford. But shopping generic means you don’t have to break the bank on EVOO. That said, you can save a few cents at Aldi.<\/p>\n

The retailer’s store-brand costs $6.49. In comparison, Walmart charges $7.36 for Great Value’s version.<\/p>\n

2. L’oven Fresh Split Top Wheat Bread\"wheat<\/p>\n

Price: $1.65<\/p>\n

Wheat bread is the perfect sandwich-starter. And Aldi’s healthy split-top generic doesn’t contain trans fat, artificial colors, or high fructose corn syrup.<\/p>\n

Use this low-priced pick ($1.65 for 20 ounces) to make turkey clubs, grown-up gourmet PB and J’s, or grilled cheese. Walmart sells the same size loaf of round-top wheat bread for over $0.30 more ($1.97).<\/p>\n

3. Family Pack Chicken Breasts\"chicken<\/p>\n

chicken breasts<\/p>\n

Price: $2.19 per pound<\/p>\n

Fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts aren’t cheap in today’s market. But both Aldi and Walmart have affordable deals on this grocery list staple.<\/p>\n

Which store has the better price? Aldi beats Walmart at $2.19 per pound versus $2.57.<\/p>\n

4. Millville Buttermilk Protein Pancake Mix\"buttermilk<\/p>\n

buttermilk protein pancake mix<\/p>\n

Price: $3.85<\/p>\n

Fuel your day with a protein-rich breakfast. Swap out eggs and sausage for these pancakes. With 15 grams of protein per serving, this pick is the perfect alternative to your regular morning meal.<\/p>\n

Aldi’s 20-ounce generic is a steal for $3.85. While Walmart doesn’t carry a generic version, the retailer does sell Kodiak’s brand-name Power Cakes blend for almost $2 more ($5.72).<\/p>\n

5. Friendly Farms Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt\"plain<\/p>\n

Price: $3.09<\/p>\n

Enjoy this rich, creamy nonfat yogurt with fruit for breakfast, on its own as a snack, or mixed into a zesty dip. At $3.09, Aldi’s 32-ounce tub is a better bargain than Walmart’s regular price for the same bulk-buy size ($3.36).<\/p>\n

6. Southern Grove Honey Roasted Peanuts\"honey<\/p>\n

Price: $2.55<\/p>\n

Enjoy this sweet-and-salty snack any time of day. Toss the perfectly priced ($2.55) peanuts into your road trip bag, workout tote, or purse for a pick-me-up on the go. With seven grams of protein per serving, this pantry product provides the energy you need.<\/p>\n

Walmart charges $2.58 for an equivalent item. The difference between Aldi’s $2.55 and Walmart’s price may not seem significant. But over time, the extra three cents could add up.<\/p>\n

7. Emporium Selection Brie Cheese\"brie<\/p>\n

brie cheese<\/p>\n

Price: $4.19<\/p>\n

Forget about overpaying for “fancy” cheese. This eight-ounce wheel is a must-have deal at $4.19. Layer it onto gourmet sandwiches, serve it on a homemade charcuterie platter, or enjoy the smooth, creamy taste with crackers and fresh figs.<\/p>\n

Unlike Aldi, Walmart doesn’t sell a generic private-label brie. That means you could pay over $5 for a similar name-brand selection.<\/p>\n

8. Nature’s Nectar Premium Orange Juice\"orange<\/p>\n

orange juice<\/p>\n

Price: $4.15<\/p>\n

Start your morning with a fresh glass of vitamin C-rich OJ. Not only is this 52-ounce dupe deal more affordable than the name-brand buy (Walmart charges $4.64 for a smaller 46-ounce bottle of Simply Orange), but it also costs less than the superstore’s generic.<\/p>\n

9. Chef’s Cupboard Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth\"chicken<\/p>\n

Price: $1.39<\/p>\n

Chicken broth is an everyday essential that you can use to make soup, stews, roasts, sauces, and more. If you’re watching your diet, this 32-ounce carton is low in sodium and fat-free.<\/p>\n

Compare $1.39 at Aldi to $1.48 for an almost-identical Walmart Great Value brand product.<\/p>\n

11. Savoritz Golden Rounds Crackers\"rounds<\/p>\n

rounds crackers<\/p>\n

Price: $2.45<\/p>\n

Snack smarter and save money on these Ritz knock-offs. The $2.45 copycats aren’t just a better bargain than the brand name. They’re also less expensive than Walmart’s dupe ($2.54).<\/p>\n

12. PurAqua Purified Bottled Water\"purified<\/p>\n

Price: $12.39<\/p>\n

Savor the flavor you love from your favorite donut shop without paying the brand-name price.<\/p>\n

Aldi’s 36-count generic dupe is a can’t-miss deal for $12.39. You’ll pay $17.17 for 48 pods at Walmart. In a price-per-piece showdown, Aldi comes out on top.<\/p>\n

14. Bake Shop Chocolate Chip Muffins\"chocolate<\/p>\n

chocolate chip muffins<\/p>\n

Price: $4.29<\/p>\n

Satisfy your sweet tooth and treat yourself to this absolutely indulgent four-pack of chocolate chip muffins. The bakery buy is a bargain for $4.29. Four from Walmart’s Marketside brand cost $4.34.<\/p>\n

Bottom line<\/p>\n

Every dollar counts. When it comes to your grocery budget, a few smart choices make it easy to keep more cash in your wallet<\/a>. That’s why we skipped the superstore and headed to the nearest Aldi for these deals.<\/p>\n

Not only can Aldi beat Walmart’s prices on coffee, EVOO, and chicken, but the retailer also gets a brand-new seasonal selection each week. Check out the “Finds” aisle to score bargains on gourmet goodies, home decor, and more.<\/p>\n
