My Aldi Shopping Trip (Plenty of deals even without an ad!)

So I ran to Aldi this week to pick up a few things and to see what unadvertised deals I could spot since we didn’t get an ad this week . And let me tell you, not having an ad did not deter me from shopping at Aldi this week one bit. Having shopped around a lot of different stores (and I do mean a LOT), I have found Aldi to be one of the best places, not just for best buys, but also the convenience and speed of it. Yes, I can still get better deals on some items with coupons and I definitely go to other stores for coupon deals, but I have found Aldi a very reliable source for many items, especially produce and milk. And, no I don’t work at Aldi or know anybody that does, nor did I get paid anything to say these things, I just like Aldi that much. LOL

Anyway, I didn’t find anything too spectacular in produce this week  and since I still had plenty of produce from last week’s huge produce haul, I passed and stocked up on a few other items.

  • Kirkwood Chicken Thighs – $0.99 lb., $4.67
  • Large Eggs (dozen) – $1.12
  • Skim Milk (gallon) – $2.56
  • Hot Pork Rinds – $0.89
  • 2 Peanut Butter & Crackers – $0.99 (my mil’s favorite snack right now)
  • Saltines (16 oz.) – $0.89
  • AquaPur Water (24 pk. bottles) – $2.29
  • Jumbo Franks (16 oz.) – $0.99
  • Bologna (16 oz.) – $0.99
  • Split Wheat Bread (20 oz.) – $0.99
  • 2 Big Dipper Chips – $1.19 ea.
  • Final Cost $20.70

Here are Aldi Deals this week, keep in mind prices & selection will vary by region. You can view Aldi’s weekly ad online HERE. My favorite thing about Aldi are their produce deals, they frequently have the best buys in my area here in Joplin. And if you’re not familiar with Aldi , please note that they do not accept coupons.

Notes for this Week: When I got my Joplin Globe Wednesday morning, I didn’t get an ad, so I looked online. I noticed Aldi only had the “in-store” ad posted which does not include the fresh produce deals for the week, so I emailed Aldi and asked about it and received a very prompt reply:  “We received your email regarding our weekly ad. Our advertising department advised me to let you know that we did not print an ad this week. Most retailers have an occasional “dark week” when they do not run an ad. This is a dark week for us. You will be able to see our ad in the paper and online again next week.” I thought the “dark week” term was interesting, so I couldn’t help but quote it. 😉 Here’s a few unadvertised deals for you, plus, you can view my Aldi shopping trip for more deals for this week.

So, while I was out & about Tuesday,  I ran into Aldi to grab a few things and I have to say again how easy it is to shop there! Don’t get me wrong, I love shopping at other stores too and picking up awesome deals with coupons.  You can spend as little or as much time as you want with coupons and still come out on the other end saving money, so for me,  it’s truly a blessing to be able to utilize coupons!  But, having said that, you cannot beat the convenience & simplicity of shopping at an Aldi. The stores are smaller, parking is a snap, the cashiers are lightning fast. Just remember to bring your own shopping totes and leave the coupons behind since Aldi doesn’t take coupons. As much as I LOVE coupons (and boy, do I love them!), it is nice to have one store where I can leave my big red binder behind, you know what I mean?! Oh and btw, I just wanted to mention that we do not buy that many snacks for ourselves, John always picks up extra snacks for his mom & stepdad. They just don’t get up to Joplin anymore, so they always have certain items that we pick up for them whenever we shop at Aldi. And they are especially seriously addicted to the Puffed Corn, our Aldi doesn’t stock them all the time and when they do carry them we have to pick up at LEAST 4 bags for them so that they’ll last until the next time they’re in stock again. LOL Anyway, onto my shopping trip. 🙂

  • Skim Milk (gallon) – $2.69
  • Corn Chips, Big Dipper – $1.19
  • 5 Puffed Corns – $1.29 ea.
  • Jumbo Franks (16 oz.) – $0.99
  • Starlite Mints (16 oz.) – $0.99
  • Chicken Thighs – $0.99 lb., $4.46
  • Hot Dog Buns (8 ct.) – $0.79
  • Saltines (16 oz.) – $0.89
  • Split Top Wheat Bread (20 oz.) – $0.99
  • 2 Purified Water (24 pk. bottles) – $2.29 ea. (one not pictured)
  • 2 Cheese Crackers & Peanut Butter (8 pk.) – $0.99 ea.
  • Final Cost $27.25

Oh and I will definitely be heading back to Aldi in the next few days, because they have some AWESOME produce deals this week!

So, when I got done with my Walmart shopping trip, I packed all the perishables in my cooler in my car and ran to the nearby Aldi to finish my shopping for the week & got my Aldi Shopping trip done in a flash. It was pretty busy there already but I was able to find everything, get what I needed and get out of the store pretty quickly. A couple things I really like about Aldi (among many other things) is that its a smaller store, so it doesn’t take as much time to get from one end of the store to the other and the cashiers there are always lightning fast, which I absolutely love! Anyway, here’s what I picked up this week:

  • Skim Milk (gallon) – $2.56
  • 24 pk. Water – $2.29
  • Sundae Shoppe Junior Pops (24 ct.) – $1.99
  • 2 Bologna (16 oz.) – $0.99 ea,
  • Parkview Jumbo Hot Dogs (16 oz.) – $0.99
  • 3 Beef & Cheese Burritos – $0.35 ea.
  • Cheese & Peanut Butter Crackers – $0.99
  • Wheat Bread (24 oz.) – $0.99
  • 2 Wheat Hot Dog Buns (8 ct.) – Marked down to $0.49 ea.
  • Final Cost $14.49
