Indiana Has Only One Location of the Cheapest Grocery Store in the U.S.

The cheapest grocery store in America is in Indiana, but you'll probably have to do some driving to save some money.

I don't know about you, but one of my least favorite things to do as an adult is to go grocery shopping. It costs so much to get so little nowadays. I'm sure you'll agree that when you go to the checkout to purchase your groceries, you are always shocked by the fact that you spent a whole lot of money even though your cart isn't even half full. Oh, and don't even get me started on the price of groceries in a full cart.

We all have our favorite grocery stores to shop at though. These are the ones that we feel give us the best bang for our buck. I enjoy places like Ruler Foods because I really can tell the difference in price at checkout compared to something like Walmart. That being said, there are all kinds of grocery stores across the state of Indiana that pride themselves in their lower prices.

Recently, we wrote about how two of the worst grocery stores in the entire country can be found in Indiana. Now, let's go to the opposite end of the spectrum. US News has provided us with a list of America's Top 10 Cheapest Grocery Stores. When it comes to the cheapest, Indiana is home to only one location.

Two of the Cheapest Grocery Stores in America are Found in Indiana

US News used MarketForce Information's 2024 U.S. Grocery Benchmark Study to determine the seven grocery stores that offer the most value for your money in the United States. So, which of these stores is the cheapest? Let's take a look.

The cheapest grocery store in the United States is none other than Food 4 Less. According to US News, 91% of survey respondents who primarily shop at Food 4 Less do so because of the value it provides for their money. Food 4 Less is a part of the Kroger family and shoppers report big savings. There are locations in Illinois, California, and Indiana. The only Indiana location of Food 4 Less can be found in Hammond.

While I have never been to a Food 4 Less, I imagine that it's pretty similar to Ruler Foods, which is also a part of the Kroger family. So, while you will be saving a lot of money while shopping at Food 4 Less, it might not do you much good to drive to Hammond if you aren't from that area.

Below, you will find the top ten cheapest grocery stores in the United States, and those stores that are italicized have locations in Indiana.

1. Food 4 Less

2. Grocery Outlet
