New Grocery Price Comparison List Between Aldi, Target, Publix and Walmart

This week I actually held off buying both lettuce and cucumbers at Aldi. My South Florida Aldi Store has increased the price on lettuce from $1.29 to $1.59, and Publix still have lettuce at $1.49. Aldi had also raised the price of cucumbers to from $0.59 to $0.89, and Publix still have cucumbers for $0.75 each. I had a $1 off produce coupon, so I saved it for the cucumbers, and got two cucumbers for $0.49 at Publix. I was expecting the cucumber price hike though, as even our local Subway stores have signs up about a cucumber shortage and limiting the cucumbers on the sandwiches.

Now, if you are looking for great tasting, cheap strawberries, Aldi has them this week! I ended up buying three packs of Aldi strawberries, and they still taste better than anywhere else I have bought strawberries this strawberry season.

The above grocery price comparison list between Aldi, Publix, Target and Walmart was last updated on 4/3/2011. If you need a newer edition go to the Aldi Price Comparison List tab.

You can find a price comparison list between Aldi and Save A Lot here.

The grocery price comparison list is created based on South Florida prices, and you might find regional price differences. South Florida prices are usually a bit higher than in the rest of the country, so you will likely find better prices at your local store. It is a constant work in progress, and if there is any specific products you would like to see included, let me know in the comment area.

I do my best to keep up with the price changes, but if I miss something please feel free to let me know. Aldi price changes are ongoing, but most change on Sundays and Wednesdays. Target and Walmart prices change on Sundays and Publix prices change on Thursdays....I try my best to keep the price list updated throughout the week.

If you found a great Aldi price I would love to hear about it...

  4. Do you happen to have any idea how the price of single frozen burritos and chimichangas compares to elsewhere? I just did a big Aldi shopping trip, and I was planning to use your list (I may wait for your updated one) and compare my savings to wal-mart and link back over here. Thanks for doing this! I need to make a huge list for myself so I can easily see if a coupon deal beats aldi prices. ;)

  5. Hi Amanda, I am not sure of the price of the frozen burritos at Walmart, but I know that at Target the Market Pantry frozen Steak and Cheese Burritos is about $0.84.

    I did some research and it seems as if the Patio burritos are 3 for a dollar at Walmart, but I have not confirmed.

  6. awesome! Thanks a lot. Aldi's are $0.29 for the cheaper ones and $0.69 for the steak and cheese...they call them chimichangas but i see no difference LOL.

  7. Amanda, I thought the 33 cents was cheap, but I am not surprised that Aldi is a few cents cheaper, they definitely do their research. Thank you for letting me know, I'll have to add it to the list.
