How this works

We read each chain's current weekly ad in Birmingham, AL and match the sale items to common staples. A price is the advertised sale price; multi-buy deals (2 for $5) are shown per item, and some need the store's loyalty card. BJ's and Trader Joe's prices come from their online catalogs and have no end date; Trader Joe's prices are everyday prices, not sales. Each row shows the cheapest matching item at that store, so sizes and brands differ: check the item name. Prices can vary by store within a chain.

Ads checked 2026-11-15: ALDI (prices as of 11-15), Costco (11-09 to 11-15), FoodCity (11-11 to 11-17), Publix (11-11 to 11-17), Sprouts Farmers Market (11-11 to 11-17), Walmart (11-11 to 11-17).
