Smaller Stores: Aldi stores are smaller in size than traditional supermarkets such as Kroger or Safeway. The average Aldi store has 10,000–12,000 square feet, compared to the median grocery store size of 50,000 square feet. In addition, there are only 1,500 products to choose from at Aldi, compared to over 40,000 at a traditional supermarket like Wegmans or Jewel-Osco.

No Rewards Programs: Aldi does not have a rewards card or a fuel perks program. In addition, they do not accept manufacturer’s coupons and are not members of the SavingStar's e-coupon program.

Fewer Departments and Services: Aldi stores do not have pharmacies, wellness centers, in-store bank branches or ATMs, curbside service, butcher shops, fresh seafood departments, prepared foods, in-house bakeries, delis, floral departments, fax services, or a dry cleaning and shirt laundry service. In addition, you cannot purchase money orders, postage stamps, lottery tickets, public transit passes, or tobacco products at Aldi.

Over 17% of Aldi’s Grocery Items Cost $1.19 or Less

Did you know that over 17% of Aldi’s grocery products cost $1.19 or less? If you’re wondering how this can be true, let me explain.

As I mentioned above, there are only 1,500 grocery items to choose from at Aldi. I also found that 267 of them cost $1.19 or less at my local Aldi store here in Pittsburgh. That's over 17%. This number represents everyday prices and does not include “Aldi Finds,” “Aldi Special Buys,” or weekly specials.

Please remember that grocery prices at Aldi are subject to change at any time. Prices also vary by store. The prices quoted below are the everyday prices at the Aldi store located in Pittsburgh's Shadyside/Friendship neighborhood.

Here’s an Aldi shopping reminder: To maintain price stability, Aldi periodically downsizes the number of ounces and pounds in some of their grocery packages. For example, Aldi recently reduced the number of ounces in their jars of spices and seasonings from 4.25 to 3.75, while maintaining the same price. At one time, their 12-ounce packages of frozen corn, cut green beans, mixed vegetables, and sweet peas might have been 16 ounces.

However, when everything is taken into account, most Aldi shoppers in Western Pennsylvania will tell you that Aldi’s prices are dramatically lower than those at Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle, the region’s major supermarket chain.

Aldi currently operates nearly 2,000 stores in 35 states, including California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. They also operate stores in Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, and Switzerland.

About five years ago, Aldi opened a store in the Shadyside/Friendship area of Pittsburgh, which is close to my Squirrel Hill neighborhood. The store was an instant success and attracts thousands of customers every week from various Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

I cannot buy everything at Aldi because they do not stock certain items such as green tea bags, vitamins and supplements, soap pads, glass cleaner, and bathroom cups. Consequently, I have to make periodic trips to both Giant Eagle and Target to finish my grocery shopping.
