Saving at Aldi
Beyond just taking advantage of the lower prices at Aldi’s, there are several strategies to spend even less at the grocery store.
First, know the best time for deals.
Every Tuesday night, Aldi restocks Aldi Finds, which are some of its most popular and heavily discounted products like meals, snacks and desserts.
By shopping online for pickup or delivery, you also still get access to Aldi’s discounts, but shoppers with the Aldi app can access some extra perks.
Many cashback and couponing apps also accept Aldi receipts, which opens up an additional avenue for saving money.
While Aldi has long offered groceries at a lower cost than many competitors, other influencers have made a point to spotlight their top cheap finds at the retailer.
One superfan shared her five must-haves from the store, including one priced as low as 59 cents.
