21 Best Deals You’ll Find on Groceries at Aldi in May

Aldi has blossomed into a major favorite among budget grocery shoppers in recent years, but it’s actually not a new store; it was founded in 1976 in Iowa. Since then, droves of locations have opened; today there are more than 2,000 stores across 36 states, and Aldi employs over 25,000 people. 

Aldi has consistently delivered highly competitive pricing, partly because it makes small concessions. For instance, shoppers are strongly encouraged to bring their own reusable bags (otherwise they have to pay for reusable totes) and they must pay a quarter to rent a cart. But Aldi offers up such great savings and one-of-a-kind products that most consumers don’t mind these minor inconveniences.  

This month, Aldi is making good on its eternal promise to bring shoppers great grocery products at affordable prices. Note: You’ll find plenty of hearty German meals, elegant delicacies and delectable desserts as Aldi observes German week, which starts on May 3 and ends May 9.
