Americans are now spending up to 35% extra on grocery items

During the year, the overall cost of food has risen by 10.4%, with consumers paying up to 35% more on grocery items.

But regardless, Aldi and Walmart have been recognized to be big money-saving grocery stores.

One budgeting pro, who goes by “Amy Way to Save” on TikTok, has found a way to make two dinners for just $3.90 in total by shopping at the two stores.

Through her channel, she often makes similar budgeting content and how to score freebies at major retailers.

What she bought and made

The first store Amy went to was Aldi to shop for two adults and one toddler.

She bought a can of Happy Harvest tomato sauce and Peanut Delight peanut butter for just $1.48

Then she went to Walmart and picked up Linguine pasta and chicken broth. 

It also appears that Amy bought zucchini, an onion and ginger.

She spent a total of $3.90 at the two stores combined.

Here are the two meals Amy made for each night:

  • Thai Peanut Noodles
  • Linguine with Tomato Sauce

Also, with the linguine meal, she served garden lettuce, which she claims she got for free.
