That’s a very smart way to go about things. Unfortunately physical disability and/or not having a car make this approach difficult.

Also time, depending on where you live there may be considerations around fuel, and this may be more or less doable depending on whether or not you have small kids with you.

If it were up to me I’d go to markets and supplement with Aldi but my reality is fairly annoying

Move closer to a market if it's too hard to stop past one on a weekend or open weekday.

Unfortunately not everyone can afford to move.

I agree but if you can't move your home closer then you need to be willing to travel further for savings.

If you can't afford the time or travel costs to travel between distant supermarkets, just buy a new house....
