I was going to say something similar but you said it better. I live near a major NE Ohio city and all the WalMarts near me have issues with theft, credit card skimmers, low stock, spoiled stock, or just plain goofballs shopping there no matter what time of day I go. I prefer to scan and bag my own groceries so I can sort things as I go and my bread isn’t squished under the bag of apples but I prefer Aldi, in and out with no distractions and no drama.

Aldi remodeled all the stores in my area and almost immediately the prices went up. Many items are now the same or more at Aldi now. I like to do curbside pickup and Aldi hikes the prices for curbside, Walmart does not. If you do curbside Walmart is way cheaper on pretty much everything.

I'm German-American and lived in Germany for many years where my family shopped at Aldi a lot. Not exclusively, but still significantly more than most other grocery stores in Rheinland-Pfalz. I was so thrilled when I first saw an Aldi in the US in the small town I lived in back in the late 90's. I haven't lived anywhere since then that didn't have Aldis all over so I very rarely shop at Walmart any more.

This varies by location. I refuse to buy produce at walmart because it's always horrible quality and goes bad too quickly. It's pretty common to see mold on the berries in the store. Aldi's has great produce and stores are much cleaner. And locally, Aldi prices are way less than walmart.

I'm definitely an Aldi shopper. I actually prefer a smaller store on top of the great prices. I get overwhelmed with so many options. I shop Aldi first and then Hy-Vee and Fareway for items Aldi doesn't have. Hy-Vee frequently runs some great sales, but Fareway tends to have more specialty items for better prices. We are Team Extra Toasty Cheez-Its in our house! But typically that's one of the few snacks we buy in name brand. Aldi's version are perfectly fine Cheez-Its duplicates, but they aren't toasty enough to be extra toasty in my opinion. 😀

Aldi was significantly less expensive than Walmart. You could get a gallon of milk for $1.60 of 2%.since Covid they in my opinion, do not have better prices enough to justify 130 mile round-trip.

Aldi and meal planning are my two favorite food shop strategies. It saves us so much money. Aldi is so quick and easy to shop too. The Aldi stores in my area are way smaller than a Meijer or Walmart, so I spend much less time actually walking around the store. It's also the closest to me. 45 minute trip for a weekly food shop for my family of 4. (For comparison, I used to spend an hour and a half when I shopped at Meijer.) Love it.

It is definitely regional because our Aldi's now has either the same prices as Walmart or actually more than our local Walmart. Which is crazy to me because I have been shopping at Aldi's for a very long time and I would always go there first. Now I still price check, but rarely find that it is worth it. Plus ours is always struggling to stay stocked, which then makes me go to Walmart or another store depending on sales, to get what I need.

Thanks for the video. Empty-nesters here in the pricey area of San Diego where nothing is inexpensive. I have to watch every dime so, I may be a more unusual shopper. Prices make my decisions for me. I'm lucky as I have a Winco & a Walmart & 2 Adli's very close to me. I find Winco & Aldi are the cheapest. I try not to spend over $3 for meat. Last week, Winco had huge boneless pork loins on sale for $2.19 lb. I got one & divided it up for 10 packages for chops & a 2 lb roast for pulled pork. Frugal shopping is possible. It takes planning, & discipline. I love marked down racks. But, each person & family are different with different needs & desires. Happy shopping!

I am an Aldi shopper and for big box store mostly BJ's. I am fortunate to have all 3 plus 2 Kroger stores within 1 mile of my home. I have noticed lately the Aldi store is raising prices and they are close to Walmart, so as you said if you have drive much farther from your home to get to one or the other, the closer one would be best. I am an elderly widow, so for the most part my son picks up my groceries for me (that really cuts out impulse buying). I do have a large well prepped pantry, so most of the time it is just bread, milk and 1/2 & 1/2. Thanks for sharing this comparison shopping trip. I enjoyed it very much. Have a Blessed day.

Sales are on a 6 to 8-week cycle so it always comes back around. I eat cottage cheese and avocado for lunch every weekday. Publix almost always has a brand of cottage cheese on sale, even if it's not my favorite. I can stock up on my favorite when it's BOGO and make do with another brand when I'm out. If I plan, I can save at Publix. I like the quality, too, so that's a big win.

When I ventured over to Aldi I found brands that were new to me and better quality. I also found items that I could not find at Walmart.

I find it depends on the item store brand doritos Walmart graham crackers 40 calorie bread Aldi. Sliced cheese Aldi. Lunch meat Wal-Mart. I am in central FL. Also they are within a mile from each other.

I never seem to be able to get good produce at Walmart… it looks great in the store but goes south really quickly. I tend to buy produce at Krogers and can goods at Aldi😊

Thank you! I agree...I think Aldi is a better deal for people who do a lot of scratch cooking, and less convenience items.

I love shopping at Aldi especially during Christmas time . Our German American family loves Stollen but none of us have successfully made it until we opened the wrapper on Deuscheküchen stollen! Now we can all claim perfection.

Same! And the gingerbread Christmas cookies are perfect, too. Their occasional German pickles are decent but not my favorite brand. I like their sauerkraut and pickled red cabbage. I've never been a fan of their chocolate brand--seems too cheap and waxy to me like getting a really low quality hollow Easter bunny when you expected a Lindt-type.

I shop at a local grocery store for their ad items, then Sams club, Aldi and walmart last to get whatever I couldnt find at the other stores. Our stores are pretty close together. It takes about 3 hours to shop per week. Our budget is $280/week for a family of 7. It includes all meals, (I pack cold lunches) and laundry soap, kleenex etc.

I'm on Long Island, NY, until last year the closest Aldi was FAR from me. Now there are 2 close to my job. Walmart here isn't very easy though. Most aren't Supercenters & there's only 1 neighborhood market in the county so we have very little meat & produce in Walmart. I'm actually going to Aldi for the 1st time tomorrow & I'm so excited!

The next town over, Texarkana, Texas, is getting our first Audi in the area. Our nearest one was 100 miles away. Texarkana has a Sams, Super1 and Albertsons that i like to shop at as well, great sales. Texarkana in a state that doesn't charge sales tax on food, so added benefit. Between There and my local stores, i can keep my grocery budget down. I know its a lot of running, but my grandbabies live there, so i only do that when i am seeing them.😊

For a few years now, my father-in-law has taken off one weekday morning twice per month to drive 30-40 minutes into the nearest city (we live in the rural Great Plains) to hit Aldi, Trader Joe’s, Sam’s Club, and more recently Costco. The only major grocery store we have in our town is a Walmart Supercenter. I started going with him on those bimonthly mornings when I can, and the cost difference is substantial, and I do most of that shopping at Aldi. The gas ends up being paid for by what is saved on groceries. Also, concerning living in a rural area, things go out of stock at our Walmart and take a while to come back, often accompanied by a price hike (heavy whipping cream and eggs, for example). It’s so nice to know that I’ll more than likely find the item for a slightly cheaper price and better quality at Aldi. My family and I are moving this year to an area that has an Aldi in town, and we’re so excited :)

I appreciate your honest comparison. I’m not a big WalMart fan and we don’t have Aldi in my city, but I was able to visit one when in the Austin area. I couldn’t have been more disappointed. I compared prices on some of the items I had recently purchased (granted most were name brand), the price was either the same or higher. The other thing that was a turn off was the overall disarray of items on the shelves. The one bright spot was the produce but I was fully stocked so left without spending a penny. Costco, Sam’s and HEB remain my favorites, with WalMart for certain items.

I love shopping Aldi and have for over 15 years. I am torn over the last few years as I enjoy the convenience of grocery pick up and know I’m paying more for my Aldi pickup when using the third party app. I go back and forth with Walmart and Aldi now. The wait time at pick up is MUCH less at Aldi too, which I assume is due to the mark up.

This video was very helpful. I have recently started shopping at Aldi. Both Aldi and Walmart are very close by. The main problem with Aldi is limited selection. I can't find the kind of coffee creamer or salad dressing I like. So I go to Aldi first then I go across the street to Walmart.

With young kids i was shopping exclusively at walmart to save time and gas, now that kids are older and not as needy i am starting to compare prices and shop more frugally. Im jumping around between walmart, ruler foods (krogers version of aldi), and surpisingly dollar tree. Ive found some good things for actually good prices there, despite the typically smaller packages.

Something to take note, prices at your local Walmart may vary from the next Walmart over. For example, my local Walmart's milk price is half the price of the Walmart that is a 10 - 15 minute drive to the location in the next town over. The nearest Aldi to me is a 20+ minute drive.

I've gone online and compared prices before figuring out which store was worth the trip. In my area, you paid more per oz at Aldis than Walmart for just about everything. I was really surprised! BUT Aldis is 5 vs 15 minute drive in stop & go traffic.

Just for reference I'm in MA. I wasn't at all surprised by the results between Aldi and WM. For an overall shopping trip I'm going to spend less at Aldi. I do still go to WM for a few things such as toiletry items and a few things where I prefer WM brand to the Aldi brand or things I just can't get at Aldi. Great video! 😊

I appreciate Aldi's allergen transparancy. It isn't mandatory to state that certain foods have been processed on the same equipment as foods that contain allergens. A loaf of bread that contains no eggs in the ingredients may contain traces of eggs from a different product! Aldi always has on their labels "may contain traces of..." if theres an allergen risk. I wish all food labels were required to have this!

Aldi prices have definitely gone up over the years, but, and this is the biggest difference for me, I hate shopping in Walmart and I have never waited in line for 20-30 minutes in Aldi like I have at Walmart. At my local Walmart you are lucky to find a parking spot. The Aldi is located one minute from the Walmart and both are 10 minutes from my home.

Schedule a pickup online. Anything's better than supporting Aldi and their dangerous policies. See my note above about their support of the dangerous menace "Best Friends Animal Society. They financially promote placing pitbulls with a heavily documented history of violent attacks into communities and with homes while lying about the dogs' past violence. BOYCOTT ALDI!
