Aldi’s ‘was’ my primary grocery store but in the last few months, their prices have increased substantially (30-50%) on many products. Now, the Walmart grocery is actually cheaper on some items.
I no longer have an Aldi near me. I shop my local Piggly Wiggly and Super-Duper Walmart. I’ve pretty much got it down to a science and shop the Loss Leaders each week. We grow so much of our own and Beau is an excellent hunter and fisherman that meat is usually not needed, but I will stock up on chicken and pork when the price is right. ;)
It amazes me that Walmart beats our local chain on produce, though. Most of Pig Wig is locally bought, and they’re not a small operation by any means, but aside from running out of this or that, the Walmart produce is more appealing in quality and price. *SHRUG*
Ya TRY to do the right thing by shopping local Mom & Pops...
Aldis has done a massive remodeling campaign in the last year or two, and I’ve noticed they have raised the price of many items, so I don’t buy much there, anymore.
