Save at Aldi Grocery Stores
Save at Aldi Grocery Stores

Frugal shoppers shop discount grocery stores. Aldi is a discount grocery store that claims to have prices up to 50% less than other stores.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Your own grocery bags, or pay 5 cents each
  1. Step 1

    Aldi advertises heavily that their private labeled products meet or beat national brand products. They guarantee this with a double satisfaction guarantee.

  2. Step 2

    The store is small, stocked only with the most used products. I found the best savings in the refrigerated and fresh produce sections. Milk is only $2.39, yogurt $.43, pie crust $1.59, 4 cup shredded cheese $3.49, 3 color peppers for only $1.99, bag of oranges or apples for $1.99. These are everyday prices, not sale prices. Prices are good overall but name brand items can be found at similar prices elsewhere if they are on sale or if a coupon is used.

  3. Step 3

    If you like selection, this is not the store for you since there is only 1 choice for any single product, their private labeled brands. It is obviously a no-frills place to shop but it is a great place to stock up on some commonly used items at a great savings.

on 1/24/2009 We use Aldi for most of our canned goods, cheap drinks and a few other things. It's not open the same hours as other stores but it's still worth it when we are able to go there.
