I love shopping at Aldi as a lot of their products are European and don't contain so many toxic chemical preservatives (many that are used in the USA are banned over there)
A lot of their products are sourced from China.
Walmart is so stressful compared to Aldi.
Thank you for that side by side comparison, it must have been a lot of work but it was really illustrative which I appreciate.
Yes…I find going to Walmart a chore as well. It just has a completely different vibe…I can’t explain it. There are a few things I buy there that are cheaper there than anywhere else. I stock up so I don’t have to go back very often.
AMEN!
Walmart is overwhelming! Aldis is usually 4 isles in and out. If they don’t have it you don’t need it! That’s my motto when I go there! 😁🤣
Our Walmart has like 35 registers with 2 open. So frustrating.
I was going to say something similar but you said it better. I live near a major NE Ohio city and all the WalMarts near me have issues with theft, credit card skimmers, low stock, spoiled stock, or just plain goofballs shopping there no matter what time of day I go. I prefer to scan and bag my own groceries so I can sort things as I go and my bread isn’t squished under the bag of apples but I prefer Aldi, in and out with no distractions and no drama.
A lot of people chose Aldi products because they are dye-free along with better price.
Yep, good point!
Yes I definitely go with Aldi because it's dye-free, especially having an autistic/adhd child
No Aldi in Las Vegas :(
But remember the app is always more expensive…
But I still love Aldi!
@@FA_2_Pilot Walmart says the prices you get on the app are the same as in the store. 🤷♂️
I used to shop almost exclusively at Aldi and would have sticker shock at Walmart, but now it seems like most items are almost the same price. Inflation!!! It's crazy!
Agreed!!! Definitely was a difference a couple of years ago.
Same!
Exactly! Grocery prices are nuts and eating out the prices have doubled! I know income has not doubled!🤦🏻♀️😭
Aldi remodeled all the stores in my area and almost immediately the prices went up. Many items are now the same or more at Aldi now. I like to do curbside pickup and Aldi hikes the prices for curbside, Walmart does not. If you do curbside Walmart is way cheaper on pretty much everything.
Been shopping Aldi for 30 years....all the way back to where it was cash only.....raised my family on greatt good and good prices❤
Me too...35 years!
I remember shopping there when the cashiers had to memorize the prices!👵😂
Yes, I remember cash only. Now my Aldi even have self checkouts that the cashier from the main register can monitor and correct.
I'm German-American and lived in Germany for many years where my family shopped at Aldi a lot. Not exclusively, but still significantly more than most other grocery stores in Rheinland-Pfalz. I was so thrilled when I first saw an Aldi in the US in the small town I lived in back in the late 90's. I haven't lived anywhere since then that didn't have Aldis all over so I very rarely shop at Walmart any more.
My first time in an aldi was in Germany!! It came to the states many years later!! The Christmas goodies that are authentic are delightful!!❤
I'm definitely an Aldi shopper. I actually prefer a smaller store on top of the great prices. I get overwhelmed with so many options. I shop Aldi first and then Hy-Vee and Fareway for items Aldi doesn't have. Hy-Vee frequently runs some great sales, but Fareway tends to have more specialty items for better prices.
We are Team Extra Toasty Cheez-Its in our house! But typically that's one of the few snacks we buy in name brand. Aldi's version are perfectly fine Cheez-Its duplicates, but they aren't toasty enough to be extra toasty in my opinion. 😀
I shop at Aldi and Walmart, with occasionally stops at Kroger. My Aldi's produce may be cheaper, but the quality isn't the best, so I prefer to pay more at Walmart. The only items I get from Kroger are from their sales. Thanks for doing the comparison Mindy!
I enjoy produce from Kroger over Walmart. It’s a hit or miss at Walmart and Aldi.
Funny, but I was going to say the same thing. I live closer to a Kroger (Frys) but Walmart is across the street and I shop the cash back from Walmart, pick up the sales products at Kroger, and then swing by Aldi about 2x a month for everything else like cheese, chips, La Croix waters, etc.....most items that I know will nearly always be cheaper at Aldi.
This varies by location. I refuse to buy produce at walmart because it's always horrible quality and goes bad too quickly. It's pretty common to see mold on the berries in the store. Aldi's has great produce and stores are much cleaner. And locally, Aldi prices are way less than walmart.
Thank you for doing this. My Aldi and Walmart are basically right next to each other. I greatly prefer the shopping experience at Aldi over Walmart. The Aldi checkers are incredibly fast!
I totally agree!
Our Aldi is mostly self check out now. Only one lane has an Aldi checker most of the time.
I do not like the Aldi Checkers They smash your stuff up Dent your canned goods I shop at Aldi I've got to go self-checkout and I hate self-checkouts
@@marcellareese8853 My Aldi doesn't even have self-checkouts. That's a thing?? 😲
@@marcellareese8853my Aldi there is only one cashier checkout.
Thank you for your thoughts and comparisons. I am 65 miles away from my nearest Aldi and I really like Aldi. I’m 2 1/2 miles from my nearest Walmart. Prior to Covid. Aldi was significantly less expensive than Walmart. You could get a gallon of milk for $1.60 of 2%.since Covid they in my opinion, do not have better prices enough to justify 130 mile round-trip.
Can't see any of the Walmart prices. Love your budget food videos!
The Walmart prices were pretty small on the lower left. Mostly Aldi's was beating Walmart by 5-10 cents per item, but a few items were .70 or more cheaper.
@@CampLJNC I couldn't either so I made the video full screen.
I shop at both but have only recently come to understand the value of Aldi. I lived close to one for years and never shopped there. It wasn’t until I started watching your videos that I decided to give it a try, so thank you!
I think I might just make a Walmart pickup order now .. sometimes I just don't have the bandwidth for Aldi, and this made me feel better that the prices weren't that far off with store brands
I live in San Antonio and the closest Aldi is over an hour away. I wish we had one closer. Love seeing this comparison.
thank you for sharing! I often compare but for me the free pick up at Walmart just works better with 7 kids and a busy schedule.
Discovered Aldi during the pandemic when I really didn’t want to spend a whole hour in the grocery store. Absolutely love being able to get in and out fast 😊
so helpful, these are my two main stores I go to! Thanks for the editing effort to search and display all of the equivalent walmart sizes/products
I shop at both! They are one block apart. But I do most of my food shopping at Aldi vs. Wal-Mart.
Aldi / Walmart I love the price comparisons. Thanks for the realistic & positive videos.
It is definitely regional because our Aldi's now has either the same prices as Walmart or actually more than our local Walmart. Which is crazy to me because I have been shopping at Aldi's for a very long time and I would always go there first. Now I still price check, but rarely find that it is worth it. Plus ours is always struggling to stay stocked, which then makes me go to Walmart or another store depending on sales, to get what I need.
I just started watching your videos this last year, but I absolutely love them. You are so relatable and practical that even things that don't necessarily apply to me still have value. I am not a busy mom trying to hurry and get dinner on the table, but I am a 45 yr old woman (kids grown and out of house) that sometimes doesnt have a lot of energy to cook big meals (especially for just one person), but your videos show a great mix of options both for shopping, and for cooking.
Thank You very much for all the hard work you put in to these. I hope your channel #'s continue to grow.
I was very surprised that the prices weren’t that different. I’ve been hoping for years that we would get an Aldi, but I guess it’s not as big of a savings as I thought. I’m a huge impulse buyer too so Walmart pick-up is my saving grace. Thank you for your video!! ❤️
I hear you about PickUp. I use Instacart and have saved a lot of money by avoiding that impulse to just tuck something into my cart as I walk through a store. I also have the opportunity to take my time and not feel rushed to get to a check stand and out the door.
The value of Aldi is I can be in and out in 15 min. Not the case at WM and our pick up is a joke.
At my store, Aldi usually wins by a few cents. I dont shop the brand name stuff at Aldi because I haven't found them to be big savings. Aldi does make it easy as their stock is limited.
Mindy, we can't see those Walmart prices. Way too small on the screen 😕
I could see them ok. Did you make your picture full screen? Some screens are amaller than others too🤷♀️
Thanks for the video. Empty-nesters here in the pricey area of San Diego where nothing is inexpensive. I have to watch every dime so, I may be a more unusual shopper. Prices make my decisions for me. I'm lucky as I have a Winco & a Walmart & 2 Adli's very close to me. I find Winco & Aldi are the cheapest. I try not to spend over $3 for meat. Last week, Winco had huge boneless pork loins on sale for $2.19 lb. I got one & divided it up for 10 packages for chops & a 2 lb roast for pulled pork. Frugal shopping is possible. It takes planning, & discipline. I love marked down racks. But, each person & family are different with different needs & desires. Happy shopping!
Aldi and meal planning are my two favorite food shop strategies. It saves us so much money. Aldi is so quick and easy to shop too. The Aldi stores in my area are way smaller than a Meijer or Walmart, so I spend much less time actually walking around the store. It's also the closest to me. 45 minute trip for a weekly food shop for my family of 4. (For comparison, I used to spend an hour and a half when I shopped at Meijer.) Love it.
Amen!!!
I make my shopping list in order of where the items are in the shop- a block in my phone notes per lane in the shop. This has also saved me so much time. I actually write the price of my preferred item next to the food/ household item - this way I know that’s the best price and I can quickly scan for a better offer that given week. 😊
@@amymccarthy5304 Yes! I write my list according to store layout too. Great time saver!
Thank you for taking the time to do this comparison for us. I love your channel and your sweet personality, but also greatly appreciate the information!
I would love to have an Aldi close to where I live! When I go visit my daughter in MS, I always take my ice chest and cold bags and do a grocery run on my way home just for the sake of saving a little money vs. shopping at Walmart; which is where I generally shop. Great video!
I'm making an Aldi list while I'm watching this! 🦋
I have the trifecta of Sam's Club / Walmart / Aldi in a row where I live! I drive across the parking lot from one store to another!
That baking aisle in Aldi was chaotic !! Lol. These are my two grocery stores so its awesome to see the comparison!! Thank you!
Thanks Mindy, for doing this comparison between these two store brands. So fun, love this video.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I shop at both places. I usually go to Aldi first and then place an online order at Walmart. I like to pick out my own produce and Aldi most of the time has fresh. We are retired and try to stay on a budget. I also like Kroger as they have great online coupons. I just look at each ad for the week online and then decide.
The price difference has gotten less noticeable. 😞 I chose several things from Sam’s this week because the cost was better. I’m also an hour from the nearest Aldi, but I’m in the area about once a week anyway, so I plan to stop.
Always enjoy your posts. So helpful. Thanks for the realistic comparisons. You certainly do your homework.
I shop at Aldi, Walmart, Lidl, Kroger and Food Lion. I only shop the sales and mostly use pick up to avoid temptation. don't shop at all those stores every week. Really enjoy and learn from your videos!
Agree it is definitely regional -our Walmart is actually a few cents cheaper on nearly everything plus the Aldi is nearly an hour away ! I price check all the items in my list depending on which direction I’m going and shop Kroger sales : if I can get it same price at Kroger I buy as much as I can there for the fuel points
I just hate fuel points and such. To me, just give me the price break on the groceries.
This is super helpful. Thanks!!
you know what would be interesting is to see what and item in walmart was before aldi came around, those prices are mostly just a dime here or there, like they have priced checked and carefully just placed what 10 percent more on theirs. aldis is still my go to
yes, I typically find that Aldi is about 8-10% cheaper on most products. in some cases it's just pennies.
Always enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing! 💚
I am an Aldi shopper and for big box store mostly BJ's. I am fortunate to have all 3 plus 2 Kroger stores within 1 mile of my home. I have noticed lately the Aldi store is raising prices and they are close to Walmart, so as you said if you have drive much farther from your home to get to one or the other, the closer one would be best. I am an elderly widow, so for the most part my son picks up my groceries for me (that really cuts out impulse buying). I do have a large well prepped pantry, so most of the time it is just bread, milk and 1/2 & 1/2. Thanks for sharing this comparison shopping trip. I enjoyed it very much. Have a Blessed day.
I appreciate you Mindy, great comparison video! Love Aldi!! ❤
Excellent discussion and thank you❤
Thanks for watching!
Wow this is so helpful, thank you!
We always do a Walmart run for other things at the beginning of the month so we'll pick up some groceries there and then about a week later we'll go to Aldi to pick up what we need for the month.
Mindy, you are so right about life presenting different challenges to us, seasons at a time. As a new momma, I am always happy to buy Parents Choice diapers from Walmart. The pickup saved my sanity while juggling this transition into motherhood. However, I find that the quality of foods in Aldi are much better, and I am able to shop myself with my little one in tow, and I have discovered that food in our house lasts longer because of the quality. Thank you for your videos, Mindy! 🙂
Thank you for the comparison, so nice of you, it's all the little things that seem to add up ,appreciate you !!!,your kids are so funny ,and looking forward to the hamburger helper video ,blessings to you and your family , Teresa in Mn
I shop at both Aldi's and Walmart (and Trader Joe's and Costco) depending on what I need. My Walmart is pretty small, and the grocery aisles are only about 5-6 short aisles. So, in my town Aldi's has more variety.
Still, I prefer that to the Walmart in my mom's town that has converted to a SuperWalmart. I thought it would be great, but it is Exhausting, especially if you don't know where everything is and have to go back around, lol.
really great and helpful video 😊I always shop both places
I shop at Aldi. I live 0.3 miles from Aldi. I have been discouraged by the many new self check outs when their check out people were awesome and fast. I also shop once a month at Sam’s Club.
Aldi has self-checkouts? Haven't seen that in my area. Hope it never comes here - not a fan of self-checkout!
I love Aldi! They are a little bit longer of a drive for me, so recently I’ve only been going to Walmart. But this video makes me want to go to Aldi more! Thank you for doing the price comparisons!
I do a once a month grocery haul at Aldi. I usually skip on their meats and purchase meat when on sale at other supermarkets along with other loss leaders. I shop occasionally at Walmart but not often. Household of one here. I enjoyed this price comparison video, Mindy!
Thanks for the video!!
Great video! Gonna try Aldi! Although I love the grocery pick up at Walmart during busy times.❤
Hi Mindy Thanks for the price comparison I shop at both for staples products love the video 😊❤️👍
OMGoodness!! I NEED an Aldi in my city!!!
We don't have Aldi in Northern California. 😢
We do have Winco and it's definitely the cheapest.
I don't shop at either of these stores but I sure love that scarf, Mindy! 😊
I love Aldi but work at Walmart, so I usually grab what I need after work.
I have 3 stores i use price chopper, walmart and aldi's. Each one has things i like and find cheaper then other stores.
A little bit of both! I also think Reasors sales have gotten SO much better since they were bought out- so I shop the sale ad there too.
(Posting as Joyce) We live in Rockland County NY. The closest grocery stores are Aldi and Shoprite. Shoprite has really good deals on groceries, but some things are cheaper at Aldi. Then again, I can't always find what I am looking for at Aldi. I do like to shop at Walmart but, the closest one is just not that convenient. Thank you for all that you do!!!
Putting a good word in for Aldi butter. Besides being low price, it's quite good. Even the picky mother in law approves.
I am a Aldi , Walmart and jewel shopper . Jewel is only sale items , then I out weigh who is cheaper on items at aldi and Walmart . All three stores are close together . Great video Mindy !!!
We finally got an Aldi near me last week!!
Zero Aldi’s sadly in Maine. Love these videos!
thank you for this video. I love all the things you point out about the comparison. where i live we have an aldi but it seems to be smaller and sometimes out of alot of items. So i usually go to aldi first and get what I can and what they have there, then whatever I cant find at aldi I go to the big walmart to get. also shop the sales at the *more expensive* grocery store. there are only a handful of things that I like a certain brand. Most things I am more then satisfied with the generic store brand from aldi or walmart. I cook from scratch most of the time for my family. it is certainly cheaper and better quality then most of whatever you get out.
I shop a little at both places. I was wondering if one was cheaper than the other. Thank you for this video.
The next town over, Texarkana, Texas, is getting our first Audi in the area. Our nearest one was 100 miles away. Texarkana has a Sams, Super1 and Albertsons that i like to shop at as well, great sales. Texarkana in a state that doesn't charge sales tax on food, so added benefit. Between There and my local stores, i can keep my grocery budget down. I know its a lot of running, but my grandbabies live there, so i only do that when i am seeing them.😊
Walmart stopped having the lowest prices in town years ago. I started looking around and was surprised to find similar items cheaper elsewhere. When I ventured over to Aldi I found brands that were new to me and better quality. I also found items that I could not find at Walmart. It is interesting to see what is available in your area and do some comparisons. What I save in one area I can splurge on for others...Like my favorite pasta sauce that doesn't come cheap.
I did a couple of comparison shops of Walmart, Aldi, and Publix. I chose sale items and/or store brands at Publix and was not brand loyal. I chose store brands at Aldi and Walmart. All three stores came within a dollar or two of one another. I feel like if I shop the sales, I'm doing well.
Walmart is too far away from me so do Publix and Aldi. Most people think Publix is insane on their prices and they are if your buying at regular prices but if you shop the sales and the bogos it can actually be cheaper than the other cheaper stores.
@@BrianK-zz4fk I agree. Their BOGO prices are always less than both Walmart and Aldi in my area. You have to do some meal planning and stocking up when your favorites go on sale to save. Sales are on a 6 to 8-week cycle so it always comes back around. I eat cottage cheese and avocado for lunch every weekday. Publix almost always has a brand of cottage cheese on sale, even if it's not my favorite. I can stock up on my favorite when it's BOGO and make do with another brand when I'm out. If I plan, I can save at Publix. I like the quality, too, so that's a big win.
@@hashtagCatholic Dont mention the shopping experience as well, Aldi is fine but Walmart is a race to get out of there😂. Just dont make the mistake I did on the BOGOs and end up with 20 boxes of Cheese its 😂.
I've been an ALDI shopper for over 30 years. We also shop at BJ's warehouse weekly. And once or twice a month we might hit Costco, Sam's Club, LIDL, World Market, Publix, Ingle's etc...
Thanks for video Mindy😊I’m Aldi all way except for items they don’t carry will shop WalMart as you said I find Aldi best for home cooks like myself. Loved the kiddos in this video. Take Care
Thank you! I agree...I think Aldi is a better deal for people who do a lot of scratch cooking, and less convenience items.
Love your content & your hair looks super cute! ❤❤❤
always great videos very appreciated
One major reason that I don’t shop at Aldi much is the size of their products. I have a big family. And Walmart just can’t be beat for the variety of bulk items available.
I wish there was an Aldi here. Oregon has Walmart, Albertsons, Winco, Fred Myers and Safeway
Very helpful!
Awesome video, thanks Mindy 👍👍👍
Our Aldi opened at the end of last year next door to Walmart!
I prefer going almost anywhere other than Walmart, but it actually tends to be where I end up going because of the convenience and variety. There are some things I just cannot get at Aldi, and I’d rather just get all of my shopping done at one time in one place.
I shop at both as they are 1/2 a block apart. I also shop at a small local grocer.
The town next to us is getting an Aldi, i cant wait! I plan on going once a month when we are over there to have a date night or seeing our grandbabies. So it will just be an add on to one of those. From what ive heard is that they dont use food dyes in there food. Which will help this Add adult that has a very strict food budget.
You can easily make brown sugar at home with white sugar and molasses. I do it in my mixer because it's easier, but you can do it by hand too.
Love to shop Aldi when I can. Love their cheese section❤
I love shopping at Aldi especially during Christmas time . Our German American family loves Stollen but none of us have successfully made it until we opened the wrapper on Deuscheküchen stollen! Now we can all claim perfection.
Same! And the gingerbread Christmas cookies are perfect, too. Their occasional German pickles are decent but not my favorite brand. I like their sauerkraut and pickled red cabbage. I've never been a fan of their chocolate brand--seems too cheap and waxy to me like getting a really low quality hollow Easter bunny when you expected a Lindt-type.
I never seem to be able to get good produce at Walmart… it looks great in the store but goes south really quickly. I tend to buy produce at Krogers and can goods at Aldi😊
Don’t forget the lemons! 😂
Shop both places. Most of the time, I am shopping the deals for the week
I feel that the shopping experience is much better at Aldi - I love to look at all the new items and sometimes treat myself to a dupe of a high-end store in the Aldi finds aisle.
We have Walmart and HEB in my area. 9 times out of 10 (for the items I purchase) HEB is the better buy. The nearest Aldi is an hour and 15 minutes away on a good, no traffic day.
I shop at a local grocery store for their ad items, then Sams club, Aldi and walmart last to get whatever I couldnt find at the other stores. Our stores are pretty close together. It takes about 3 hours to shop per week. Our budget is $280/week for a family of 7. It includes all meals, (I pack cold lunches) and laundry soap, kleenex etc.
I do both 😊
Great video! It's good to know the prices for Walmart and Aldi. Aldi's is wayyy too crowded for me, and too small of a store. I have bad anxiety so I go to Weis at around 7am when it's just opened and pretty empty. Weis is a bit more pricey than Walmart on certain items but overall about the same, and Weis offers e-coupons. I liked your suggestion in another video to do pick-up orders from Walmart so you stick to your list and don't do an impulse buy
I really like Aldi and used to shop there regularly but Walmart is more practical for me, for the reasons you mentioned, proximity and grocery pickup being easier and less expensive. I have no problem meeting the $35 threshold
I shop both Walmart and Aldi. There are some items that Walmart has you just can't get at Aldi. I am fortunate that my Aldi and Walmart are within a half a mile from each other though.
I just found your video and earlier today I was wondering - "Should I go to Aldi or Walmart for a few things I need?" A very informative video, thank you. Oh, and by the way, I went to Walmart!
☹️ i don't have an Aldi store near me. I mainly shop at Walmart, but occasionally Super1 on items that go on sale cheaper than Walmart prices.
I do appreciate all the hard wok you do for us watching your channel. Thanks for keeping it real😉👍🙏❤️
Thank you for doing this side by side! I've never shopped at Aldi's but with the difference of most only being pennies, I know that it won't be worth it to go out of the way to try Aldi.
My first place to shop is Kroger then Aldi then Walmart last. Love your channel❤
Love this type of video.
I’m so happy Aldi is coming to Henderson, Nevada. My daughter’s comment was Winco will miss seeing you - lol. Their new location will be about a block away from Walmart. Can’t wait…
