I know many of you are die-hard Aldi fans, but I want to show you that you truly can get better deals if you buy on sale at stores like Publix and use available coupons. I’m going to start showing you some of the deals at Publix each week and how they compare to the normal Aldi prices. I think you’ll be surprised and that I’ll convert you to a coupon/sales shopper if you’re not already!
Keep in mind this isn’t all of the Publix deals, or even all of the best deals. I’m intentionally picking things that would have an Aldi version. Since Aldi only sells select products you can’t really compare the entire Publix list… there just wouldn’t be an Aldi example to compare it to.
Note that prices may vary slightly in your area, and in the comparisons below, I’ve tried my best to compare unit price. The cheaper option is in bold.
See all the current Publix Deals.

From now on, at the bottom of this post, I’ll share a list of past deals so you can share with friends and family who may not believe Publix deals are usually cheaper than Aldi!

Sour Cream 16 oz Container | 74¢ @ Publix vs. $1.79 @ Aldi
with a coupon at Publix to get the lowest price
Peanut Butter 16 oz Container | $1.70 @ Publix vs. $1.95 @ Aldi
Summer will be here before we know it and getting a job just for the summer isn’t all that easy for kids. There are ways your kids can make money this summer (or really anytime), so help them think about their options and go ahead and plan ahead.
11 Ways Kids Can Make Money This Summer
Extra Chores
While the kid’s probably already have certain tasks they are expected to do, it’s nice to give them the option to make a little extra money, plus it can help you too. They could sweep, dust, help fold laundry, etc. depending on their age. Check out my recent post Frugal Skills to Teach Your Kids for allowance ideas. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box on this one too. The older kids can clean out the outside trash cans, recycling bins etc and do tasks that are often forgotten about or not an everyday task.
Pet Sit for Vacationing Neighbors
If you have families on the street that you know are heading to the beach or have other longer vacation plans have your kids ask what they do for pet care. Would they consider letting them pet sit or even just taking them for a walk. I started pet sitting when I was 11, with smaller jobs (cats) that just needed to have their food and water replaced and then started pet and house sitting in high school. Living on a farm now, we have to get a local student to come out and take care of lots of animals when we leave! Earnings can range between $10+ per day.
Help Out Elderly
This would be best for kids that you are comfortable leaving home alone probably aged 13+. There are many elderly that need someone to help with light cleaning, helping them get their breakfast and other small tasks. Make sure to get a full understanding between you and the family of what is expected. This is also a great option for elderly in nursing homes. Many families will pay to have a sitter to keep their loved ones company. Earnings range from $7 to $15 per hour.
