These are the best sale-priced items at Aldi this week, based on the Minneapolis/St. Paul sales flyer. Aldi’s prices are very regionalized, so prices at your store may vary.
If you’ve never shopped at Aldi bring a quarter (not 25 cents, but a quarter) for the refundable deposit on your cart and your own bags. They take cash or debit card, but not credit card. Find an Aldi near you here. Remember that their produce is ripe for eating when you buy it, so be prepared to eat it, freeze, can it or otherwise use it up right away.
Produce
Pineapple. $1.99 each
Pears. $0.57 per pound (sold in 28-ounce pack for $0.99)
Red Grapes. $0.79 per pound (sold in 2-pound packages for $1.58)
Apples. $0.40 per pound (sold in 3-pound bag for $1.19). I picked up two bags today and made a quick batch of applesauce tonight; we’ll eat some now, I’ll freeze some as baby food for my infant, and freeze some to thaw and use as an oil substitute when baking.
Bananas. $0.39 per pound (this is their everyday price)
Thanks Carrie for the Aldi’s list. It’s a little bit of a hike for me to get to Aldi, and I am planning to go this week. Knowing about these great product prices will help me plan my menu this week–especially love the apples. Thanks I’ll plan to bake with apples this week.
Jen – You’re welcome!
Has anyone froze grapes before? If so, is there a certain way to make them taste as fresh as the day you bought them?
You can freeze grapes, but they will not be the same as fresh later. Frozen grapes are a fun snack, sweet and quenches the thirst. Good substitute for ice cream and high sugar sorbets with very few calories. Give them a rinse and let freeze on a tray, pack in ziplocs for later.
Tip:
When you go shopping, pick up the ad for next week. It’s usually on a display near the exit door.
