Aldi deals for the week of 1/7!

aldi-us-logo

 

If you are new to shopping, at Aldi’s, here’s their coupon policy: or lack there-of since they don’t actually take coupons!

  • Aldi’s does not take coupons of any kind.
  • At Aldi’s, you will have to bag your own groceries and pay a quarter to get a cart. The quarter is reimbursed when the cart is returned.
  • You’ll need to bring in your own reusable grocery bags or you’ll have to purchase them in the store (they are $.06)

Aldi is now in Houston and these deals are based on that ad.  It is hard to judge what a “good deal” is since cost of living varies so much in various parts of the country, but these are all “good deals” by my standards in a low to moderate cost of living area.

Here are some of the Aldi’s highlights for the week:

Friendly Farms Milk – $1.99

Organic Grape Tomatoes (10 oz.) – $1.89

Organic Baby Carrots – $1.19/lb.

Apples – $.57/lb.

Avocados – $.29 each

Pears (28 oz.) – $1.09
