I dont shop at Aldi as its too far to travel for me.

Great to know.
Whenever I go shopping I usually go for the stuff with the longer expiry date as I know those are the newer products.

Interesting info though Wednesdays are super busy at our closest Aldi. It is too full on when they have their special buys I think the produce rotation is the best tip.

Thanks for next time l shop at Aldi!

I honestly don’t shop at Aldi, but i’m intrigued about how great it actually is. I do have one close, so I might just have to pop in one day and check it out.

So handy to know! Will definitely pop in on a Wednesday to try something new!

It’s like any other supermarket. You need to know your “normal” prices. It is a known fact that perishable food is rotated and the oldest put to the front so it doesn’t go out of date If it is a “best before” or a “use by” product. I always check the dates. The same applies to normal groceries but they will be ok for longer. Manufacturers have to put a “best before” label on them by law. Some manufacturers constantly increase their prices they charge to supermarkets. I worked at a office / warehouse for 40 years and used to see them come in on a regular basis. It makes it extremely difficult for people on fixed incomes whose income doesn’t go up nearly as much or as often as prices increase.

I don’t find Aldi very cheap either and I do know that my super can’t buy their shares to share the profit back to us consumers like they can at Woolworths or Coles or Bunnings.

Thanks. Good information to think about.

I don’t find Aldi that cheap, on par with home brand coles and they don’t do online delivery

Very enlightening! Must try aldi again then

Very interesting read, I wonder if the return an item if you don’t like it actually works??

To be honest I’m happy to avoid going into an Aldi store.

Wonder if he got permission to spill the secret. I don’t shop there so no interest to me anyway

Thanks for these tips, always helpful to know!

we do our grocery shop at coles, but my partner is obsessed with the middle section of aldi and goes there every Wednesday and Saturday cos of the “special buys”, but is it really a good buy if it wasn’t going to get it otherwise? lol he don’t care lol

I not one who likes to shop on Saturdays (especially Saturday morning) but they are more likely to have a particular product you’re after compared to going on a weekday and its out of stock with an empty shelf. They order bigger for the weekends because they know theres more demand. Also with Aldi, always ask! They move things around so often and even put other specials in the warehouse to make room for new ones so they may not be out of stock. If they say they are, ask them if they can call another store.

Most of the supermarket do rotate the old produce to the top.I always check the dates for diary,meat,frozen items.

I love Aldi and only shop when in Melbourne. They have the best products and prices

I go sometimes when the weekly buys interest me.
