Where's The Aldi Savings Linky? Aldi Boycott?

Oh boy.....I skipped Aldi this week! Yep, I voluntarily skipped Aldi shopping, so I am not putting up the Aldi savings linky this week. However, you can link up your grocery savings posts at the Weekly Savings Linky at Frugality Is Free. I have attached the linky below, which means that your link will show up both here and at Frugality Is Free.

So why did I not go to Aldi? We drink A LOT of orange juice in my family, and we used to buy it at Aldi at $1.79 for half a gallon, which was the same as $3.58 for a gallon compared to Publix' $4.99 per gallon. Then Aldi put up their orange juice price to $1.99 = $3.98 per gallon.....and Publix had 1 gallon orange juice on sale at $3.49.

Another place where we usually save money that makes it worth making the drive to Aldi is on eggs and milk, but both products have had price increases at Aldi and our more local stores have had these items on sale. On top of everything else, Publix was kind enough to send me $10 in coupons, which made it cheaper to buy my groceries at Publix than at Aldi. 

I still love Aldi, but I surely hope that Aldi will lure me back in with some great prices next week.....prices that are worth making the trip for.

Aldi Price Increases

Wow, after a two-week Aldi break, I was greeted by lots of Aldi price increases yesterday, and I was sad to see that some of my favorite Aldi products had increased significantly, since Aldi first came to South Florida in December. Milk, apple juice, potatoes, salmon ... you name it, and the product has likely seen a big price increase since December 2010.

Aldi Price Increases and Price Decreases

This week I discovered Aldi price increases on some of my favorite Aldi products, but fortunately I also uncovered some price decreases. I am a bit worried about the price increases on baking goods though, as this was one of the main attractions of Aldi. Hopefully, the prices will eventually go down again, and I was relieved to see that the flour tortillas were still at $0.99 and a gallon of milk at $1.99. 

Take a look at the price differences I spotted:

Aldi Price Increases:
