Top Tips & Tricks for Aldi Bargain Hunters

If you’ve never shopped at Aldi before then you may not be aware of the potential savings you can make each week – and not just on your groceries.

And even if you’re a regular shopper at Aldi, you may not know these tricks to finding the best bargains in the German discount supermarket.

A recent article at The Sun and news.com.au highlighted some of the ways shoppers can reduce their outgoings on a range of products available at the supermarket, from food and drink to armchairs and toys.

SPECIAL BUYS: The story features some of Aldi’s twice weekly Special Buys that discount items such as furniture and electrical goods. But with limited stock at each store you have to be quick if you want to net some bargains. Last month, a $99 grey armchair sold out within 20 seconds at a Chatswood store in Sydney.

“COPY CATS”: If you’re willing to try grocery brands from Aldi that you may not see stocked on the shelves at other supermarkets, then you could also save some money.

Items such as baked beans have a similar look and feel to big name brands when it comes to packaging, but the Aldi products are on offer for a fraction of the price.

HEALTH FOOD: The grocery bargains aren’t limited to the tinned goods either. Aldi’s own brand of wholefoods includes seeds, shredded coconut, chips, dried fruit and even some superfoods like goji berries. You can also pay a premium for gluten-free products, so you might be pleasantly surprised by the price of the supermarket’s own brand of gluten-free food.

BOOZE! With Christmas fast approaching, Aldi’s alcohol section is well worth keeping an eye on.

“Earlier this month, Aldi’s Blackstone Paddock Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 wine was awarded Gold at the prestigious Royal Adelaide Wine Awards and selling at just $17.99 a bottle,” according to the news.com.au article.

To ensure you’re kept in the loop with the supermarket’s latest weekly offers, subscribe to Aldi’s e-newsletter, then get ready to move quickly if you want to bag some bargains.

No comments from Vic? We love Aldi and firmly believe they keep Coles and Woolworths more honest wherever there is an Aldi store near them. We shop there first and get the rest at Coles or the local fruit shop. Coles and Woolworths have decreased their prices since Aldi came to town! We are horrified at the price of butter now but all three stores have increased their prices - apparently due to people going back to full fat milk products causing a shortage of milk fat to make butter and cream. I could go on and on but we really enjooy exploring what Aldi offer. Their meat is great and more affordable too. Annette

We have a new nearby Aldi, and since the opening I note that their prices have increased to much the same level as their competitiors. I do love their chocolate bars which are just as good as the traditional brands and much cheaper, so I will keep on browsing there for other bargains!

SUE from WA commented:

I have watched our local Aldi store slowly increase prices - kg. block of cheese slowly crept up from $6 to $6-50. We need to watch, and be aware, that slowly stores add a few cents to products, and in time, if we do not watch, we will be paying the same as other stores. My local Woolworths are now selling lots of products at the same price as Aldi, and since I get Woolies rewards points, I would rather buy Aussie products from Woolies where possible. I guess the bottom line is to know your prices and compare, and if possible, support Aussie farmers etc.

Aldi has drastically reduced the number of older stock special buys they leave on shelves at red ticketed discount prices. They must be sending this unsold stock back to the warehouse or the manufacturer if it fails to sell within a certain time frame. This is a major disappointment for the bargain hunter. 

Terry
Terry from QLD commented:

For weekly household shopping Aldi are not reliable. Their stockholding is erratic and products one likes to use, after some months and years disappear for ever. CostCo are similar, so for constant availability and branded goods Coles and Woolworths are relied upon 

SUE
SUE from WA replied to Terry:

Aldi do not have a store room (another cost cutting and profit making for Aldi). If it is not on the shelf, then one will have to wait until the next delivery - it is a pain finding out things are sold out and one has to keep coming back to find out if it is on the shelf again - PLUS there is no phone number, so you cannot contact them..........at least Woollies and Coles and IGA have phone numbers and one can always contact them.

My name is Kaukab & I purchase my most of the kitchen and other household stuff from Aldi because its products are good in quality & cheaper in rate than other stores.

Why would you push support of a German company that don`t seem to reinvest back into society like our own Aussie "duoply" do. look at all the staff employed in all the regional towns around the country, don`t see Auldi supporting charity events like woolies.

Brian from NSW commented:

I live at Forster NSW and I’ve been shopping ALDI here ever since it opened and it’s very obvious on special’s days because if your not lined up at least 1 hour before it opens you will miss out and yes it a small store and they still manage to fit everything in. Brian

Angela from QLD commented:

I feel I must ask the obvious question here. Does fifty up club receive some sort of kick back for this very favourable write up on Aldi. If this is the case I think this should be declared.

Someone from NSW replied to Angela:

Hi Angela, perfectly legitimate thing to ask and no we don't have any financial arrangement with Aldi. We declare all financial agreements on our website. Kayley

Could you please let us know the location of Aldi store on the picture attached? The Aldi shops around here are very small. No furniture and no much bargains. Thank you.
