Michigan is where you’ll find the lowest cost of groceries in the country. In fact, residents here spend around 10% less on all necessities across the board. You can save money on utilities and transportation as they are especially cheap when compared to other states in the country. Michigan (The Great Lakes State) is also home to several vibrant industries, including the country’s leading car manufacturers. Like Tennessee, Michigan has pockets of even more affordable areas. Detroit is one example, with median home values here at just $48,188 compared to $161,063 state-wide median or the national average. Rent is also extremely affordable, with the median monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment coming in at just $915.
