Aldi Price Check - Pineapple, Grape Tomatoes, Eggs + More

May 9, 2010

I've been very pleased with the quality of the produce at Aldi - especially for the price. The only thing I haven't been happy with is bananas. The ones I bought went from green to brown. I don't know if it was just the bunch I picked up or what. But, I haven't bought them again.

If you shop at Aldi, are you happy with the quality of the produce too? Do your bananas turn yellow?

The prices I've listed reflect the prices of the Aldi I shop at in St. Louis. Your Aldi's prices might vary.

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
