It's rough out here, fam. Money doesn't go as far as it used to, yet we're paying more for the same things. Here in New Jersey, it's crucial to be able to stretch your money as far as it can spread these days, the grocery bill included.
Thankfully for those of us that live in the southern part of the Garden State, we've got a couple of grocery stores that have been included in the list of the most affordable in America. America's Most Expensive Grocery Store You likely won't be shocked to hear that Whole Foods is where you'll have to put out the most money to fill your fridge.

New Jersey's Most Affordable Grocery Stores Big bulk stores will definitely give you some decent bang for your buck. Not all of us have the luxury of doing all of our grocery shopping at places like Costco, the 7th most affordable grocery store in the country, because some of us live in apartments and can't buy items in large quantities. Love ya, Costco, but sorry! South Jersey's Most Affordable Grocery Stores Here in Sout.
