If you are shopping for your groceries at Target because you love its specialty store brand items, you might want to leave your cart in the aisle and head on over to Aldi instead to save money on similar foods.
Target can oftentimes beat the prices of Costco and Walmart, but with Aldi, it is a different story. That’s because Aldi now has food items in the same category as Target’s signature products for less than what you’d pay at the big, red retailer — even Target brands like Good & Gather and Favorite Day.
Here are four Target brand grocery items that are now cheaper at Aldi.
Snack Bars
- Price at Target: $4.69 for 4
- Price at Aldi: $1.99 for 6
When school is out and your kids need something fun to eat or you are on a summer road trip craving a treat, you can opt for a 12-count box of Good & Gather Almonds, Cranberries and Macadamia Fruit and Nut Bars from Target for almost 10 bucks — or pick up two 6-count boxes of Millville Fruit and Nut Trail Mix Chewy Granola Bars for less than $2.00 each at Aldi.
Ice Cream
- Price at Target: $3.49 for 48 ounces
- Price at Aldi: $3.25 for 48 ounces
Summertime desserts require ice cream. Only you’ll want to pick up a container of Sundae Shoppe Vanilla Bean Ice Cream at Aldi instead of going to Target for the same size of Favorite Day Vanilla Bean Ice Cream that’s nearly a quarter more expensive.
As prices for groceries continue to go up, you need to save every cent you can, making Aldi the smart choice for your frozen favorites.
Macarons
- Price at Target: $7.59 for a box of 12
- Price at Aldi: $5.29 for a box of 12
Looking to host a fancy spring or summer soiree?
You’ll definitely need some macarons on your table, so make the savvy shopping choice by stopping at Aldi for a box of 12 Specially Selected Macarons for under $5.50, which beats a box of Favorite Day Frozen Spring Macarons with the same amount of decadent delights by over $2.
Organic Peanut Butter
- Price at Target: $5.69 for a 16-ounce jar
- Price at Aldi: $4.85 for a 16-ounce jar
Adding some delicious peanut butter to a sandwich, snack or meal can turn eating from good to great.
Your wallet will also be smiling when you shop for a jar of your favorite nut spread at Aldi and get Simply Nature Organic Creamy Peanut Butter for less than $5, compared to if you picked up the same size Good & Gather Organic Stir Creamy Peanut Butter for nearly $6.
