Below is a real food shopping guide for ALDI. You might not be able to do all of your grocery shopping there, but it’s definitely worth a trip if you’re looking to save money. I always visit ALDI before going to other grocery stores. When it comes to grocery shopping in bulk, Costco is a great option (see my real food shopping guide for Costo). But for those not looking to buy in bulk, ALDI is the place to go. If there’s anything that I might have missed in the list below just let me know in the comments and I’ll be sure to add it. I’d love for you to be able to print this out and take it with you on your next shopping trip, so definitely bookmark this page as I plan to continue to update it. Before I get to the list, there are a few things you need to be aware of if this is going to be your first time shopping at ALDI.
You need to bring your own shopping bags otherwise you’ll have to buy them there.Bring a quarter with you. It costs 25 cents to “rent” a shopping cart. The money is returned to you when you return the cart. According to their website, this saves them money, which allows them to pass savings onto you.Don’t expect to see a lot of brand names. This is how they save you money though!
