Many students struggle to decide where they should go grocery shopping, and with limited time and a student-budget to consider, you may have to visit multiple locations to find what you want for a decent price.

Trader Joe’s — The prices at Trader Joe’s are some of the best that you will find. The only drawback to the Union Square store is they might not offer a specific brand you desire.

Food Emporium — While the prices are a bit higher than those at Trader Joe’s, Food Emporium has a greater selection of name-brand items. Additionally, Food Emporium has a rewards card that gives you discounts on various items, and there is an online site for coupons.

Fresh Direct — This grocery delivery service has received excellent reviews from users and is relatively inexpensive. Simply enter your zip code and select which groceries you need.

Farmers’ Markets — This is great for those who want to pick up local, organic items for a relatively inexpensive price. Farmers’ markets, like the Union Square Greenmarket, offer a variety of groceries that range from dairy and bread to fruits and vegetables.
