Aldi Shopping List 12/11 – 12/17/11

This deal has expired and may no longer be valid.

First-time Aldi shoppers, you’ll need to 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.

If it helps you appreciate Aldi a little more, read Wikipedia’s article about them and learn that Aldi is owned by the parent company that owns Trader Joe’s. Don’t forget Aldi’s double guarantee too, where you will get a replacement product AND a refund if you are not 100% satisfied.

Your turn: What else will you pick up this week at Aldi?

Comments

  1. kb says:

    Just a heads up on the pork roast- it is 2.75 pounds of meat and vegetables. The pork roast itself is a small part of this pound amount. I bought it the last time it was at Aldi and found it to not be the best deal. Tastes decent, but there are more frugal options available.
