@@glitt.r yes it’s amazing what you can do there. And the cheeses and everything else are such higher quality as well for less. Those everything but the bagel potato chips are the best too
The trick with Albertsons is their app deals are really good. My mom buys groceries for our household of 6 and can get a full cart for under $150 easily with the app, it gives her $100+ discounts
I saw you pick out that stuff and thought no way she’s not going way over budget. Things like frozen waffles are not cheap, either are those big tubs of yogurt.
I shop 2 stores, sometimes up to 4 stores just for budget or dietary restriction reasons. Aldi for basics, whole foods, target, and various ethnic grocers for specialty items. I switch it up between asian, mexican, and indian grocery stores.
I don't even know why you got a buggy... I was asking you that 😂 You said "$20 left" and headed into Albertsons.... you shoulda known that's a two item transaction 😂
Albertsons is a Kroger company, they have enough stores they set their prices at whatever they want. Trader joes is cheaper for whole foods and pantry staples, Walmart is good for name brand snacks.
Same here...shop on the street, in Hmart, stew leonard stop and shop costco and aldis. The trick is to stock a pantry with sale items. Then fill in as needed.
Im simply american but love love love food from different cuisines so Im always shopping at different stores. Also for my american groceries you seriously gotta check and compare prices. I buy my meat and often produce from sprouts bc its literally the same price and its organic then i get my pricessed foods from united
I’m also satisfied the sausages are cheaper if you like deer and know a guy who hunts or get a permit and take the deer to a processor and store it in a garage freezer. I’m just making seitan now, but you can!
I'm also an Asian American, so I know this very well and the one thing that drives me crazy is rice. Quick rice, instant rice, or even basmati rice when they don't even have jasmine! Why do people think I want quick rice? I'm an Asian American! Trash rice is only useful for times when you need rituals or throw rice at a wedding!
I feel like Safeway has better deals with your club card then you get an Albertsons or Lucky (which are essentially the same store). I also like Grocery Outlet. I tend to spend a lot there but I still feel it’s a very good value!
Maybe try buying store brand stuff. Everything you bought was name brand which is usually at least a couple dollars more. I didn’t think it would make a difference but it really does.
My local supermarkets have Asian groceries so I rarely go to the Asian market unless I know the prices are better there or I need a restock on more specialized items
Im not asian american, but grew up eating a lot of asian food. Now i live on my own and the nearest asian foods store is an hour from me. I just go once a month or so cause my town doesnt have anything other than soy sauce.
As a child my family always cooked food from different places and now to get the food that I crave it’s a 30 minute drive to the nearest international food market. But I agree with everyone that it is so worth it to buy the food you love from the culture you’re a part of
I’ve found that going to aldi and not buying name brand has saved me a ton. Aldi was closed on Easter this year so I had to shop at Kroger and I spent $100 (as much store brand as i could get) on a haul that normally costs me $60-70 at aldi. Even if an Aldi is a little out of the way I think the savings far out weighs the cost of gas for an extra 30 minutes of driving. Totally understand if you don’t have one near you though!
Redo: Aldi will save a ton, learn which items in their versions you like, Trader Joe's is a slightly more pricey hack. SavALot, Winco, Costco stock on cheapest staples so you can do a different one each week. Any brands you have to have, try to wait for deep sale and stack coupons and apps. Consider this a food thrifting challenge😎 PS not sure which post my original comment was on, so hitting both
In my Bangladeshi house we have to get Asian groceries like sauces and veggies for dinner, Desi groceries like spices, normal grocery store groceries, and Costco groceries😭
As much as id like to go to aldi I end up just going to the same version of what you went to here bc aldi is cool but i cant ever find everything that i need so regardless im going to be making multiple trips and ive tried enough of their brand items and most just arent good enough to want to go out of my way just to pay a bit less for things i dont really enjoy and the quality is mid. Them pennies of savings just really dont hit for me 😂 I'll pop in occasionally and be satisfied, but i couldn't shop their regularly, and walmart is just a god-awful place with no standards for anything. The way i look at it is walmart is good for everyday household items and personal care. Everything else is okay. Again, it's not worth the multiple trips in my eyes. Do what works but yall better stop talking about walmart and aldi like theyre anazing bc theyre not 😂😂
Same with being mexican but gotta do what ya gotta do lol
Edit:DAMN 1K
Real, me and my family need to go to la bonita and smiths lol
If you went to Walmart or Aldi it would’ve been a lot less.
Fr I go to adli for my groceries and I can make 150 stretch for 3 weeks for me and my roommate
@@glitt.r yes it’s amazing what you can do there. And the cheeses and everything else are such higher quality as well for less. Those everything but the bagel potato chips are the best too
Yessss!! Aldi is so good for budgets!
Aldi has great produce for rly good prices
@@heehoopeanut420Because it’s German/ European. Where food isn’t as expensive but it has good quality
Albertson's is expensive. Always has been.
The trick with Albertsons is their app deals are really good. My mom buys groceries for our household of 6 and can get a full cart for under $150 easily with the app, it gives her $100+ discounts
SO expensive
I saw you pick out that stuff and thought no way she’s not going way over budget. Things like frozen waffles are not cheap, either are those big tubs of yogurt.
and especially the “expensive” yogurt brand 😭
She should've grabbed generic, and pancake mix
Girl you were grabbing expensive items you gotta know where to go to get the deals 😭
Stater Bros or Walmart would’ve 100% been much cheaper
I shop 2 stores, sometimes up to 4 stores just for budget or dietary restriction reasons. Aldi for basics, whole foods, target, and various ethnic grocers for specialty items. I switch it up between asian, mexican, and indian grocery stores.

THIS! Why does your comment not have a thousand likes?
Stocking up when my staples go on deep sale is the only way
Im simply american but love love love food from different cuisines so Im always shopping at different stores. Also for my american groceries you seriously gotta check and compare prices. I buy my meat and often produce from sprouts bc its literally the same price and its organic then i get my pricessed foods from united
As soon as she started picking I knew for a FACT that there was no way it was under 20 lmao
Albertsons is really expensive. However, they have deals on their meats, seafood, water, and pre prepared food. I suggest getting those if you go
I’m also satisfied the sausages are cheaper if you like deer and know a guy who hunts or get a permit and take the deer to a processor and store it in a garage freezer. I’m just making seitan now, but you can!

Why is this so true tho I have to go to both an American store and and an Asian grocery store to get my groceries

I think this is cheaper on making your own oat milk or cheapest milk to crockpot cream cheese or yogurt overall on flour to waffles.
Im not asian american, but grew up eating a lot of asian food. Now i live on my own and the nearest asian foods store is an hour from me. I just go once a month or so cause my town doesnt have anything other than soy sauce.

as an american white girl, I too go to asian or mexican grocery stores as well. i love authentic food so I get authentic ingredients

I basic do the same, Costco one week, asian/korean market the other
This is the realest vid😭
that cheese and yogurt alone was enough to put you over 20 bucks 😭
If you live near a WinCo I definitely recommend you go!
i love the chobani no sugar it’s my lifesaver
all of the basic girls hating on her new style in the comments is killing me 😭
Same American and Asian and Moroccan hhhh

Albertsons is expensive … I never shop there 🥲
When i saw the store name i was like.. nah girl. That aint going to be a $20 run
😋 Chobani is the best 🎉🎉
Looks like my grocery cart 😅💜
Albertsons is literally the WORST place to shop. The only time I’ve ever stepped foot in there is when I’m doing DoorDash.
Albertsons is more on the pricier side (at least where I am) maybe a different store?
Hope that helps ❤
Not me thinking she can get both from Costco
ALWAYS TO GO WINCO IF THERES ONE IN YOUR AREA
Me personally I got to a place that had both Hispanic foods and American just to beat the hassle
Lol I was about to say, no way that cost $20. It's insane how expensive everything is now 😢
As a previous Californian going into other states in seeing a Albertsons, they are so over price compared to Walmart and Target
$45 for a bag of groceries is normal here in HI.. its actually rediculous.
Have you noticed that the Asian products in American stores taste differently than the traditional Asian versions
Being Asian is hard work.
Girl go to Aldi. I saw you grabbing that stuff and said lmao that's $50 easy.
You should go to grocery outlet store
In my Bangladeshi house we have to get Asian groceries like sauces and veggies for dinner, Desi groceries like spices, normal grocery store groceries, and Costco groceries😭
Same with most people.
yeah u were crazy to hit up albertsons with only 20 bucks
$20 wouldn’t do shit in my canadian city 😭😭
I was gonna say Albertsons is expensive id go to Ralph's or Walmart
If you have an ALDI please go you won’t regret it!!!
i’m as white as they come, but i go to asian grocery stores all the time specifically for the produce and mushrooms!
winco is the place to go bb!!
My family with Russian food :’)
Im a white girl who loves all international food so i go to 3 places and occasionally 4. Never in the same day i would die
Are you on the west coast? I noticed Albertsons :)
it cost so much because you CLEARLY don't know how to budget shop. meh..you'll figure it out. your smart.
That’s so much for 20 ish dollars girl, in Canada you can get one bag of milk for 20 $ (literally)
Why haven’t they created a market with everything we need….
Could have done without the Waffles.
Weirdo comment
Waffles are yummy!! And she's fit & healthy, so why not??
To be fair you did go to the most expensive grocery store
You're "simply American"?
Are you Apache ?
Sioux ? Which reservation ?
What the fuck are you on about?
It cost that much because you went to albertsons lol
As much as id like to go to aldi
I end up just going to the same version of what you went to here bc aldi is cool but i cant ever find everything that i need so regardless im going to be making multiple trips and ive tried enough of their brand items and most just arent good enough to want to go out of my way just to pay a bit less for things i dont really enjoy and the quality is mid.

😢 you have to go to 2 stores! I'm so sorry 😮
$20 left but you went to Albertsons ? 💀😭 girl pls
Of course, Albertsons is an expensive grocery store.
Shop at Walmart bruh. Can’t shop at expensive stores with $20
Doesn’t everyone shop at multiple stores not just Asians? I thought that was normal since no store carries everything you need?
Buy the store brand and not the name brands
Don’t shop at albertsons!!
You picked the most expensive items 😅
Yeah, because you went to Albertsons. Next time go to Aldi's.
Wow Boise Idaho interesting
That's a theft. How long are we gonna tolerate the cost of living?
Its cause you went to ALBERTSONS 😢😢😢
20? That's not enough for anything
real
"somehow" girl...u went to an expensive place and get expensive items
$45 for 6 items???
Girl Albertsons what are you doing?
Albertsons is super overpriced
😊😊😊
You don’t have to do anything
That's not the grocery store. That's Bidenomics...
Sick
Lol you don’t know how to properly grocery shop, hun.
Meat just looks so nasty 🤮
Joghurt is 6.50 in America???? Im so sorry americans
