Walmart/Sam's/Aldi's

If you're sick of these, disregard, but thought I'd share what I've found to be the cheapest (of the things we buy) between WALMART/SAMS/ALDI'S.

I've done my research, I've busted out the calculator many times, and this is what I've found to be the cheapest of the things we buy every month from the above three stores (I'm sharing with you because a few weeks ago, I was asking this question!):

WALMART:
Old Roy dog food (big red bag) - no contest on this one
produce that is price-matched from Aldi's - except Apples right now are cheaper than at Aldi's
GV bread - not cheaper, but not cardboard, either
Pasta - GV
Jennie O Turkey hotdogs
Butter (I like the kind i get here and it's only .69cents)
bag of frozen rolls my husband can heat up individually when he wants one with a meal

SAM'S CLUB:
6lb bag of Frozen Chicken (not the Tyson kind...the other kind that is $10)
Member's Mark Formula - absolutely no question...even way cheaper than the GV brand at walmart
GNC Mega Mens/Womens vitamins - 1/2 price than at GNC

ALDI'S
everything else
everything canned...never buy a canned good from anywhere else (fruit, beans, veg, pumpkin, etc.)
Diapers - waaaaay cheaper than Sam's and slightly cheaper than GV walmart
Wipes - 1/2 the price of GV and my husband likes them better
Baby Soap
trash bags
laundry soap - not sure if i like it better though
Dryer sheets
CHIPS!! and they are good!
eggs
milk
string cheese
breakfast cereal bars - much cheaper than GV
baking goods
3lb frozen hamburger meat
Frozen vegetables
Frozen Waffles
yogurt
shredded cheese
Peanut Butter (cheaper and better than GV)
graham crackers
capri suns (they are another brand though - just bought lots for lincoln's party)
potatoes
bag of baby spinach
*those are the things I got today, but literally everything else is cheaper here!!! Yall when I go to check out, my cart is literally overflowing...packed to the max. And my bill is usually around $120. Crazy.

I just got groceries for the next 2 weeks (this includes all diapers/formula we will need) for $225.

So over the past month of doing this, those are my findings thus far. Hope thins is helpful!!!
