Aldi Price Check - Apples, Pineapple, Citrus + More

January 10, 2010

Lots of great prices on fruit this week at Aldi. I can never pass up a fresh pineapple for 99 cents, so I bought two. I've read that you can freeze fresh pineapple. I'm debating going back for more to put in the freezer. Has anyone tried this before?

If you haven't shopped at Aldi, or it has been a while:
1. Make sure you have a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. The carts are like luggage carts at the airport. You rent them for a quarter, and you get your quarter back when you return the cart.
2. Take your own bags. Aldi does not provide free bags for your groceries.
3. Aldis now accepts debit cards.
4. Aldis does not accept coupons
