If you’ve never shopped at Aldi bring a quarter (not 25 cents, but a quarter) for the refundable deposit on your cart and bring your own grocery bags. They take cash or debit card, but not credit card. Find an Aldi near you.
Remember that Aldi is owned by the same folks that own Trader Joe’s, if that makes you somehow feel better about shopping there.
Your turn: Have you ever seen organic products at Aldi? I saw organic soy milk a few weeks back. Others?
Produce
Cantaloupe. $1.49 each (try ripe cantaloupe in a smoothie)
Garden Salad in a bag. $0.59 for 12-ounces.
Grapefruit. $0.29 each (assume 3 per pound and that’s $0.87/lb)
Navel Oranges. $1.29 for a 4-pound bag
Pineapple. $1.49 each
Other Aldi Deals
Gelatin. $0.35 per box. They only have strawberry or orange, but $0.35 is a great price.
Tulips, Lilies and Hyacinths. $3.99. They have a limited supply per store, so you may want to call ahead and be sure yours still has them in stock.
I have gotten Amy’s Organic frozen pizza’s and frozen dinners at Aldi.
ALDI is fantastic! I have 5 children and they all love eating food from ALDI. I have never bought anything there that I don’t like. Get over the fact that they sell generic brands and start saving money!
mac and cheese is $.35 a box and I swear it is kraft in a different box. It doesn’t taste like generic at all!
How do you call ahead? All the numbers are unlisted??
MMM…strawberry-orange jello!! :)
Tips for first time Aldi shoppers: bring a quarter for a cart loan, bring your own bags or buy them there for a fee, bring cash because they only accept debt cards or cash. I loved my bill and the marshmellows are good too.
