Aldi deals for the week of 6/18!

June 21, 2014 by melinda-ann Leave a Comment

If you are new to shopping, at Aldi’s, here’s their coupon policy: or lack there-of since they don’t actually take coupons!

Aldi’s does not take coupons of any kind.
At Aldi’s, you will have to bag your own groceries and pay a quarter to get a cart. The quarter is reimbursed when the cart is returned.
You’ll need to bring in your own reusable grocery bags or you’ll have to purchase them in the store (they are $.06)

Aldi is now in Houston and these deals are based on that ad. It is hard to judge what a “good deal” is since cost of living varies so much in various parts of the country, but these are all “good deals” by my standards in a low to moderate cost of living area.

Here are some of the Aldi’s highlights for the week:

Friendly Farms Milk (1 gallon) – $1.99

Goldhen Eggs – $1.19

Honeydew – $1.49 each

Peaches – $.29 each

Plums – $.29 each

Nectarines – $.29 each

Red Grapes $.85/lb.

Avocados – $.49 each

Pineapple – $.99 each

Mangoes – $.29 each

Roma Tomatoes – $.69/lb.

Kirkwood Chicken Breasts (48 oz.) – $5.99

Kitchen Living Ice Cream Maker – $14.99

Season’s Choice Frozen Fruit – $2.19

Adventuridge Portable Hammock with Stand – $49.99

Coleman 4 Person Tent – $34.99
