Grocery shopping hasn’t exactly been cheap lately, so any excuse to shave a few dollars off the bill is more than welcome. Fortunately, Aldi is answering your prayers.
As Delish reports, this fall, Aldi—which already has the lowest prices of any national grocery chain—is introducing another round of price cuts across a multitude of items at its stores.
As of September 23, nearly one-third of its everyday in-store assortment will be priced lower than it was last year, with the company estimating the reductions will save shoppers a combined $86 million (!) this season. The lower prices will remain in effect nationwide through at least November 3 and are focused heavily on the kinds of foods people tend to stock up on during the season, including fresh produce and lean proteins.
Some of the biggest reductions are in the produce section: Seasonal favorites like Autumncrisp grapes, Bartlett pears, Brussels sprouts, butternut and spaghetti squash, fresh herbs, garlic, French beans, apples, and potatoes are among the items getting cheaper. One of the more notable deals is Honeycrisp apples selling for $1.99 per pound. Aldi notes this is 35 percent less than last year and its lowest everyday price on the variety in more than five years.
There’s also good news if chicken is a permanent fixture on your grocery list. Kirkwood chicken breast family packs are dropping to $1.99 per pound, the chain’s lowest everyday price on the item since 2022. “At Aldi, value is a year-round promise, not a promotion,” Scott Patton, Aldi’s chief commercial officer, said in a statement. “Customers trust us to help them make the most of their grocery budget, and we never stop looking for ways to run our business more efficiently so we can pass along savings.”
The chain maintains that its prices save shoppers an estimated $10.2 billion overall, and the latest reductions come as Aldi continues to expand across the country. The grocer now operates more than 2,600 U.S. stores.
For anyone trying to bring the grocery bill down heading into fall, the timing is pretty ideal.
