Aldi can be daunting for the uninitiated. Why would one want to peruse a store where you have to pay to use trolleys and bags?
Aldi employs these techniques to keep the prices down and unlike other stores, there bargains are oft the most delicious!
- Dry Cat Food: At $1.99 a kilo its more than a dollar less than the other dry products on the market. If your cats are like mine, this can amount to huge savings over the long term.
- Shampoo and Conditioner: I can’t believe how good this is. My hair loves it and at just $2 for a large bottle, I can’t go past it. My hairs health has improved dramatically.
- Frozen Chips: I am something of a chip expert and believe these crinkle cuts to be the best offered in Australia. At $1.99, they are the best value as well!
- Sanitary Napkins. They’re cheap and relatively comfortable. Can’t ask for much more (except for not needing to use them!)
- Toilet Paper: Both the recycled and normal options are considerably cheaper than the ones offered at other supermarkets, without sacrificing on quality.
- Chocolate Ice Cream I went through a phase where I was craving just chocolate ice cream, and was refusing to pay $5+ just for one litre because I could only find three-coloured. This was one of my greatest finds, although I rarely buy it now. Its too addictive.
- The Biscuits: The butternut and barbecue ones are two I get if I know guests are coming.
- Bread: Its around $1 a loaf, but is the tastiest budget bread on the market! I use it for broths, toast and sandwiches and LOVE it!
- Multivitamins: I’m not sure how they compare to similar products, but its excellent value at less than $5 for two months!
- Nescafe. I don’t drink coffee but often buy this for my coffee addicted friends. At just $5, its an expense everyone loves
- Garlic Bread: Very cheap and very, very yum!
- Powdered Milk: This is great value. I don’t drink it, but use it in cooking. Its also part of my stockpile.
- Disposable razors: I bought a pack months ago and am still on the first razor. I only use it on armpits but it gives such a close shave.
- Washing powder: This gets rid of all sorts of smells which comes quite handy when it comes to washing cat bedding. It lasts forever and doesn’t irritate my skin.
- The weekly special I get a lot of items as part of their advertised special. Great buys include a cat tunnel and pasta maker.
