"I typically shop at the popular Midwest supermarket chain, Jewel-Osco, for my family of four. But recently, my mom wanted to try shopping at Aldi, the international grocer primarily known for its smaller size and extensive selection of store-brand options. Although I hadn't been to the store since I was a child, we grabbed a quarter for our cart - and our reusable totes - and went to check it out."
"At other local grocery stores, like Jewel-Osco, a dozen organic cage-free eggs can cost about $7.50. Meanwhile, at Aldi, similar eggs cost $5.35, so I can save more than $2 a week on eggs alone. Likewise, a half-gallon of Aldi's organic milk brand, Simply Nature, costs about $4.30, while a half-gallon of Horizon organic milk costs about $6.50 at other grocery stores."
"Aldi is known for its large selection of store-brand options, and one of my family's favorites is Benton's mint-striped fudge cookies, which cost less than $2 for an 11.5-ounce pack. These are a staple in our house, and since finding them, I've definitely bought fewer Thin Mints. But cookies aren't the only Aldi-brand item we love - our bread box always has loaves of L'oven Fresh bread."
I live in the Chicago suburbs and shop for a family of four. I visited Aldi with my mom using a quarter for a cart and reusable totes. The smaller store size makes it easier to find products and finish shopping quickly. Many weekly groceries such as milk and eggs are cheaper at Aldi: similar organic eggs cost $5.35 versus about $7.50 elsewhere, and a half-gallon of Aldi's Simply Nature organic milk costs about $4.30 versus roughly $6.50. Those two items save more than $4.50 weekly. Aldi store-brand items like Benton's cookies and L'oven Fresh bread are household staples.
