Here are the best deals on meat, dairy and fruit at these Charlotte grocery stores

As grocery store prices continue to rise due to inflation, it’s getting harder to save money on food.

Luckily, with savings programs at local stores, including the MVP Program at Food Lion, e-VIC benefits at Harris Teeter and the myLidl Benefits program at Lidl, shoppers can take advantage of savings on produce without coupons.

MVP cards at Food Lion and VIC cards at Harris Teeter are required to get the discounts listed below, and membership to the myLidl benefits program is only required for some items. ALDI does not have a savings program.
