Family Fare Vs. Aldi's

By being constrained to only a certain amount of money made me more cautious about the quantity of products that I was buying and what brand the products were. By budgeting it made me realize that going to big name grocery stores isn’t always the most ideal option, such as Walmart and Meijer tend to be more expensive where Family Fare and Aldi’s are fairly more on the cheaper side when it comes down to prices. I realized that shopping at Family Fare and Aldi’s is more convenient for people to shop at when trying to save money and way more affordable while on a budget. While being constrained it made me find out how much cheaper the off brand products are rather than the name brand ones, which is surprisingly different when the product is basically

If everyone in the U.S. population had a budget and was able to follow their plan would most likely make our country healthier. It would allow us to not snack as much, it would force us to have portion control because of the less food in the household, and it would hopefully make us buy healthier choices as our
