With a family the size of mine, I’m always looking to save a buck wherever I can. Things can get rather costly – especially at the grocery store. Food just tends to be so expensive unless it happens to be on sale that week, which makes planning meals for a family of seven rather daunting at times. But the good news is, there’s a store that I can shop at every week without having to break the bank. There’s no need to flip through countless ads for the best deals in town because the prices at ALDI are always low, no matter what!
ALDI is a full grocery store and has most of the departments you’ll normally find at your local grocer. They’ve got dairy, fresh meat, frozen foods and more. They’re able to keep their costs low by not having actual store shelves and by choosing not to have a bakery and deli. That’s how ALDI can in turn hire far fewer employees than your average grocery store, which saves them money. And instead of hoarding those savings, they pass them on to you, the customer!
Now just because it’s a smaller store without all of those added expenses, does not mean you’ll have to sacrifice quality by shopping at ALDI. In fact, they offer a fresh produce and fresh meat section in each and every store. They also stock some gluten-free and organic products to be able to cater to all types of people. Customers like ALDI so much, there’s even a 2015 Fan Favorites product list! ALDI fans selected their favorite ALDI-exclusive products in the online Fan Favorites poll. More than 5,500 fans cast their votes in various categories including Dessert, Cheese, Beverage, Breakfast and Bakery. You’ll find the following great products on that list:
- Beverages – SimplyNature Organic 100% Apple Juice
- Dessert – liveGfree Gluten Free Brownie or Baking Mix

*Some of these items are Special Buy or Seasonal items that are only in stores for a limited time and may no longer be available.
There are some great products on the 2015 Fan Favorites list, many of which I often purchase. We love the SimplyNature Organic 100% Apple Juice, Happy Farms String Cheese, Specially Selected Center Cut Bacon, L?oven Fresh 100% Whole Wheat Bread and SimplyNature Organic Grass Fed Ground Beef. My family will be trying the rest of the products on the list after our next trip to ALDI too!
Aside from the killer deals and high quality food at ALDI, I love the fact that they offer a “Double Guarantee”. Not only will they refund your money if you’re not satisfied, but they’ll replace it too! And my absolute favorite thing about the store is that I can get in and out quickly. A smaller store means less aisles to walk through and the cashiers are super speedy. I’m not one of those people who enjoy shopping for hours, so I find that rather convenient!
If you haven’t already, I urge you to give ALDI a try. You’ll be surprised when you walk out with an entire cart full of food for so much less than you’d normally pay!
