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.
