With grocery prices rising, you may be considering changing your grocery shopping habits or trying something different. Sometimes that can mean focusing on what you’re buying that you may not need, or cutting back on splurge items. But sometimes you’re already doing that, and you’re wondering if changing the store where you shop would help.
Aldi has always been a popular lower-priced grocery store, but I’ve said before that it’s not always necessarily the cheapest, especially if you’re shopping sales and coupons at other stores. That said, with prices raising all over the place, I decided it was time to investigate if Aldi is actually the cheapest option when it comes to groceries and how it compares to other stores where I have the option to shop.
So here’s my attempt to answer that question: Is Aldi the cheapest grocery store? For this post, I compared to regular and sales prices at both Kroger and Publix.
Is Aldi the Cheapest Grocery Store? Comparing to Kroger and Publix
For the purposes of this comparison, I tried to find the cheapest option for each item. That usually meant it was the store brand, although sometimes it was a name-brand item on sale. On the chart below, wherever you see an asterisk, that means it was a sale price and not the regular price of that item. However, if you’re following the Southern Savers method and shopping the sale cycles, you can probably get those items at those prices!
Here’s the comparison of the prices, and then I’m going to talk about some of my takeaways.
I’ve highlighted the lowest prices in yellow so that you can easily see which was the lowest. I chose to compare at Kroger and Publix because those are the other two stores closest to me.
In order to compare the actual price, I calculated the unit price. If you shop at other stores, you can usually calculate the unit price by dividing the price by the number of units. For example, if butter is $4/pound, your unit price is $4/pound or 25¢/ounce. Just make sure you’re comparing the same units! That said, here are my takeaways.
Aldi is a very cheap option if you miss the sales at other stores
