BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Before you make the trip to the grocery store, I'm helping you avoid that high total at the register.
If you're not loyal to one store and you're hoping to find the best deal in town, I've got you covered.
This week, I searched all the local grocery chains for these five pantry staples:
- A gallon of 2% milk
- A 12-oz box of cereal
- One loaf of white bread
- A dozen large eggs
- One pound of chicken breast

Aldi has the cheapest milk, cereal and white bread this week. Walmart and Aldi both have the cheapest eggs, but prices have gone down at most stores. Wegmans has the cheapest price on chicken breast.
