Aldi Price Check - Strawberries, Pineapple, Cantaloupe + More

May 31, 2009

I use Aldi's prices on dairy and fresh produce as a benchmark. Since fresh produce prices fluctuate so much, it's hard to tell what's a good deal. If a grocery store is advertising a better price than Aldi, that's when I would buy it there.

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.
