Go there about once a week, was there yesterday in fact.

1lb baby carrots .59
large bunch celery .79
3 huge green peppers 1.49
2% milk gal 1.95

We have a "save-a-lot" also, more brand name stuff and just a little more pricey than Aldis. Great meat deals there too.

 

Ditto! In fact, yesterday I nabbed tuna (50 cents each), kidney and pinto beans (55 cents a can), a few loaxes of bread (79 cents), and a box of 100 green tea bags ($1.00)!
Our Save-a-Lot is only a few doors down from Aldi's. By stopping there, I netted four nice steaks (about $5.50) and some toilet paper (79 cents for 4 packs...of two-ply!).

 

I used to ALWAYS shop at Aldi. got a LOT of my food preps there. Now that we've moved, there is NO Aldi anywhere near us. Thankfully, I now DO have access to a cmilitary commissary, but for some things, Aldi was just plain cheaper.

 

I miss the NAAFI stores with all my heart. Shopping for Her Majesty's Armed Forces around the globe.

 

Aldi's is my main place to shop after I watched and complained to Krogers that they didn't honor their sales they posted. I would watch their (Kroger) sales, and I would go in and buy one item just not to confuse myself and it would show up differently than what they sticker on the isle said. I would tell the cashier about this and they would just ring it up from what I told them. I would go back another day and get a different cashier and do the same thing. Same results, different items. Also, my friend who is a senior citizen, gets that discount, but he notices they (Kroger) jacks their prices up a day before the monthly senior citizens shopping to compensate for the losses. How crooked! Its about time I write their (Kroger) corporate location.

 

1 pound canned cooked hams...2016 date...$3.29 each
:thumb:

Are those any good Skiduck?

10 pound bags of long grain rice...$4.99

Nice! I didn't know they sold it in bags that big.

 

I agree! Aldis is the place to go. Of course like anywhere else you should always do price comparisons, but there are a great many items at Aldis that are a terrific deal. As far as the canned hams go, like other foods you should try one first to see if you like the taste before stocking up. I think they're edible, but remind me more of Spam than Ham.

LOL! Understood, I'm ok with Spam :thumb:

 

Their ham is ok if cooked with some pineapple...

 

brown a slice of that ham about 3/4" thick, have it with a can of the gren beans and a pot of rice. good meal. bon appetit

 

We have an Aldi opening nearby in March... Can't wait..

 

we have several here in Charlotte, big fans of em...

made 80% of food preps via them, great deals on tuna in oil and mac n chz, all the other stuff too...

even managed to snag a couple 2000w 4 stroke genies...yeah i know, chicom, but they have fired up every time and handle the load i put on em....

they also have good party wine, winking owl brand.... :thumb:

 

Use Aldis a lot for oil, flour, rice, pasta and the like.
Tried some of their fishing hooks, pre tied. The line was crap so be careful what you buy. The groundbait and oils were fine however.
They Do have a lot of good lines and some excellent deals tho.
Guess it comes down to being prudent and product aware.

 

If you have one nearby...get yer butts over there:

4 lb sugar...$1.29 limit 4
5 lb All Purpose Flour...$1.29...no limit
100 count tea bags...$1.89
cream corn,whole corn,peas,cut green beans,french cut green beans...33 cents a can EVERYDAY



These first items you posted aren't even close to that price in Florida's Aldi's man.
sugar is $2.54
Flour is $2.60
Canned veggies are $0.52 a can

 

I'd give anything to have canned food prices like that here. We have no Aldis and everywhere else is expensive. Even the local Walmart prices are expensive compared to what I see elsewhere. I don't know how they get by with that since this has always been an economically depressed city. But higher prices are standard throughout most of the retail industry here. I guess there just isn't enough competition to bring them down.

 

That sucks Mike, are any of these near you?

I was in our Aldi's yesterday and canned corn/beans was still .52 cents.
Rice is still a better deal at Samclub...50lbs for $15

 

Never heard of Aldis......

Watch the canned green beans, they often have chunks of plant mater in them (stalks and such).

 

In my ALDI:

5lb of sugar (not 4) $2.69
5lb of flour $1.69 (I'm pretty sure before Christmas this was 89¢)
Canned veggies range from 39¢ (Green Beans and corn) to 65¢ (carrots, potatoes, peas).
For a while they had 15lbs of potatoes for $3.49. Now they are 10lbs, but that's still cheaper than Wal-mart.
Bread is 82¢ (and NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP). Sometimes when it's getting close to the expiration date they'll have it for 50¢ and I'll pick up one or two for my chickens and ducks as a treat.

Their cheap coffee isn't too good, but the $4.99 bricks of German coffee are very good!

I sure love ALDI. I used to think years ago that the food quality wasn't very good. Either my tastes have changed or the quality has gone up, but now for most things I can't tell the difference.

They've never given me any problems about quantities - I often buy whole packs of 12 of the veggies. Not even a comment like "Eat a lot of peas, huh?" I've noticed now they have a sign up for the flour and sugar that they reserve the right to limit quantities, but I've even purchases 8 bags of flour (they come pre-shrink wrapped in 8) and she didn't even say a word about it. She did open the shrink wrap to scan the bar code, which kinda defeated the purpose to me of buying them shrink wrapped.



I've noticed the same in Wal-mart's Great Value brand. I thought it was mostly generic brands until just last night I had a can of Libby green beans and I found a few chunks, too.

 

My basement looks like a small version of an Aldi store. Most of the mentioned prices are the same but 2% milk is $3.29, vegs mostly $.55 per. the one pound hams just went up from $2.99, have stew, soups pasts well, damn near everything they sell. Here the rice and beans are cheaper than Sams, even in 2# bags. I recommend them highly as the go to store for easy, cheap preps.

 

aldi rocks. i get a bunch of preps there as well as everyday items.

 

Love Aldie's. When they first opened in NY state about 10 years ago I was not impressed but they have really stepped up their game. Their stores are clean, 99% of their food is good quality, their prices are fantastic, their check out girls are fast and polite and they have really held fast to not raising their prices last year. I say KUDOS to them and a big :thumb: to them.

 

Great Sale This Week on Pineapple and Oranges

First, I have to say I like to start my produce shopping at . Prices and quality vary a lot, but I can usually get at least half of my weekly produce there, especially if I'm flexible. :

Anywoo, two crazy wonderful buys this week are medium-sized fresh pineapples at $0.99 each and 4 lb bags of fresh navel oranges for $0.99. My husband brought some of each home yesterday, and they're very nice looking and tasting.

 

Aldis is a great place to go for baking and canned goods. Around here (An Aldis location in WNY), the flour was $1.39 for a 5lb bag, but it recently increased to $1.69. That is still a fantastic price given that other stores sell it for over $3.00, and sometimes that is a 4lb bag.
However, the .30 price hike still hurts to see. The ever present reminder to stock up when prices are good. :/

 

We have bought from Aldi's a few times and will do so again. Their prices are pretty good for what I consider "house name brands", not premium label stuff, but that's ok with us for about 99% of what we use. We really like their cans of small peas that we put in tuna cassarole or in tuna on biskets.

Oh, if you go to Aldi's, don't forget to bring a quarter so you can get a shopping cart (you'll get it back when you park the cart back in the rack).

We also have a company that has surplus items that were salvaged from semi-truck accidents. This salvage company goes and cleans up the wrecks. Items that were in the wrecked trailers are written off by insurance and I've been told can not be sold as usual. But, the surplus company cleans up the wrecks and salvages everything that can still be used and they sell it at their "Salvage Stores" for much less than you can get the same things at the usual places. Same brands, same everything, but lower prices. Because you can not predict what the surplus stores will get from the wrecks, inventory changes often. Our's had food, clothes, furniture and all kinds of things.

Walls is another chain of this type of salvage stores, so check out your areas. You might just have something like this close to where you live. Even if you had to drive an hour or two each way, the savings on a large purchase sure adds up and makes it worthwhile.

I love Aldi.

Got 10 5lbs canned hams there for two bucks a pop. They were left over from christmas. Gonna get some more after easter.

 

to the people who don't have an Aldi's nearby, or have not heard of it, I feel sorry for you, this is something you should look into. Even if you have to travel a distance, it may be cost effective to take a small trailer and drive to one, there are a lot of items that it is easy and inexpensive to stock up on

 

Good point!

What is great about Aldi's is that most shoppers have their carts packed (or arms full!) anyways. So I doubt anyone else in the store would notice or care if someone came in to stockpile a cart or two full of cases of food. The men and women cashiers sure don't. I love that they don't bother to make remarks on my purchase/s- something that local grocery chains can't seem to be able to refrain from.

 

aldi stores are in 2 neighboring towns (2 in asheville 1 in hendersonville) good prices on real quality items.
there are Grocery Outlet stores in WNC, East Tenn and South-West Virginia maybe few other places that have good prices on items 10-20 lb bag potatos for sure and other - Nalleys canned stuff, Pattersons canned beef products (NC based) and lots of other.

 

Aldi's Beer Bread Mix-not a prep item as I eat it about as fast as I buy it.

Add one beer to the mix, and drink the other five while it is baking.

Can't go wrong with that!:
