Aldi shopper scores a week’s worth of groceries for just $83

An Aldi fan has revealed how she scored a week’s worth of groceries — including eggs, fish, and chicken — for just $83 while shopping at the discount supermarket. 

Reddit user u/White_Petal534 proudly showed off her order of more than 30 items last month as food prices across the country soared due to inflation. 

‘Aldi haul today! $83 USD,’ she captioned the snapshot, which shows all of her finds spread across her kitchen counters and stovetop.

Not only did she save on costs, but the bulk of her purchases at the discount supermarket chain were lean meats and fresh veggies and fruits

There were also plenty of non-perishable items, including pasta sauce, flour tortillas, brioche buns, and bottles of flavored protein water 

Not only did she save on costs, but the bulk of her purchases were lean meats and fresh veggies and fruits. 

For less than $85, she was able to buy Brussel sprouts, potatoes, carrots, bananas, apples, strawberries, a half gallon of milk, ground chicken, salmon, a carton of eggs, and a 48-ounce Starbucks iced coffee.

There were also plenty of non-perishable items, including bottles of flavored protein water, jars of pasta sauce, flour tortillas, brioche buns, pretzel sticks, and frozen burritos and croissant sandwiches for meals on the go. 

She explained in the comments that she tries ‘to stay under $100 a week’ when grocery shopping to keep her husband happy. 

Other Reddit users praised her thriftiness, including one person who noted that ‘$83 is really good’ considering she got ‘both fish and meat.’ 

Aldi is known for its low prices, and the woman explained in the comments that she tries ‘to stay under $100 a week’ when grocery shopping to keep her husband happy

‘It’s crazy how much you can get!’ the woman replied. ‘You can’t quite see it, but I also got 22oz of frozen grilled chicken for meal prep.’ 

‘That’s how it’s done,’ someone else agreed. ‘There was some dude I was talking to on how he spends $1200 on groceries a month because he eats “Keto” and I’m like you’re an idiot.’

The post also received comments from fellow Aldi devotees who agreed the store’s prices can’t be beat. 

‘I’m fully on the Aldi train just because of finances,’ one person explained. ‘After seeing how much farther your money goes, I can’t go back. My town has two other grocery stores and you would literally get half the groceries for that cost.’

‘I will say, I went today for the first time and spent $100 (I was amazed and couldn’t stop myself),’ another shared. ‘Priced it through my usual store and it came out to $160 for all the same stuff. I was like wowwww.’ 

Inflation in the U.S. rose to 9.1 percent in June, the highest since 1981 and above what economist had predicted

From the grocery store to the gas pump, rising prices have been unavoidable for most Americans this year. 

Inflation reached a 40-year high of 9.1 percent last month, according to the government’s consumer price index, forcing many people to make big changes in their shopping and spending habits.

More than 4 in 10 are spending less on groceries, according to the CNBC All-America Economic Survey of 800 people this month, and about a third are using their credit cards more often to make it through the crunch. 

In the spring, Aldi CEO Jason Hart reaffirmed his commitment to keeping items at the lost possible price in the U.S. during this time. 

‘No matter what happens in the world around us, ALDI will always be the low-price leader in every community we serve,’ he said in a letter to customers.
