At Aldi: Look for these price cuts

Aldi keeps their prices super low by selling mostly private brands and maintaining smaller stores than other supermarkets. But despite their rock-bottom prices, there’s an easy way to save even more money: Look for markdowns on perishable food products that Aldi wants to move off of shelves because the items are nearing their sell-by dates. “Aldi is known to discount their bread items exactly five days before the expiration date,” shares Kyle James, founder of Rather-Be-Shopping. com. “So if you’re shopping for a loaf and notice the expiration date is six days out, wait a day to buy and save some cash.”

Shopping for beef, chicken or other meat? Two days before meat products reach their sell-by date, they get reduced by $1 to $2, then by up to 50% on their actual sell-by date. Tip: Arrive early in the day to scoop up these sell-by bargains since they’re repriced the evening before.
