Grocery Price Showdown: Columbus, Georgia

This week we are doing price comparisons in Columbus, GA. We will take our $100 meal plan with grocery list and check all the available grocery stores (online orders) to see how they come out!

We will use the same list at the following stores: Target, Aldi, Winn-Dixie, The Fresh Market, Publix, and Food Depot.

After looking at the totals, we will be able to see where the cheapest grocery store in Columbus is and where is the most expensive grocery store!

Grocery List for the Comparisons

If you want to see the dinners that goes with this list, head over to Week #25’s meal plan!

Grocery Totals

Here are the totals from each store that we were able to place online orders!

It is worth noting that Publix and The Fresh Market only offer online ordering with Instacart, so their prices may be slightly lower in store.

Here are the cost breakdowns:

Would shopping two stores save money?

We compared prices of Food Depot and Aldi to see if shopping both places could potentially save us some more money. By only shopping what was cheapest at each store, our total would have been $102.74.

Yes, that was cheaper than either store’s total by itself, but it was still not cheaper than Walmart’s total of $101.14. It was pretty close though with only being $1.60 higher!
