Aldi is turning up the heat this summer with fresh price cuts on hot, in-demand grocery items. Just as temperatures rise, the low-price grocery chain is cooling down costs — big-time. On June 5, the retailer announced price reductions on over 400 products to give shoppers some sticker shock relief.
“While customers may see higher prices at other retailers, we’re working hard to unlock even more value for our shoppers, just in time for summer’s lineup of holidays and gatherings where food takes center stage,” said Jason Hart, CEO of Aldi, in a press release. “It’s another way we’re doubling down on our commitment to help shoppers fill their carts with great products for less.”
With price drops on nearly 25% of Aldi’s in-store products, here’s a roundup of five summer grocery items to buy now, all with new low prices.
Popz Strawberry Lemon Prebiotic Soda
- Price: $1.49
Aldi offers affordable spinoffs of popular, often pricey name-brand products to shoppers looking to cut corners on cost, not flavor. One example? Popz prebiotic soda — a dupe for the cult-favorite Poppi brand.
At just $1.49, it’s almost a full dollar less than Target’s $2.29 price while delivering a similar sweet, tangy strawberry lemon flavor in vibrant, fun packaging. You’ll also find Popz in cherry lime, raspberry rose and lemon lime flavors in Aldi’s drink aisle.
Simply Nature Dark Chocolate Covered Banana
- Price: $3.69
If your sweet tooth spikes in the summer heat, grab a bag of dark chocolate-covered bananas. At the new low price of $3.69, they offer a mouthful of creamy, rich, refreshing goodness.
Keep a bag in your kitchen to help curb dessert cravings without breaking the bank.
Millville Buttermilk Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix
- Price: $3.49
Fuel your summer with a quick, high-protein breakfast that’s light on your wallet. At just $3.49, Aldi’s buttermilk protein pancake and waffle mix is a lifesaver for busy mornings before summer camps, swim lessons and days by the pool.
It’s cheaper than Target’s Good & Gather version — and comes with more ounces per box — so you’re saving more with every bite.
Large Seedless Watermelon
- Price: $5.15
Summer isn’t complete without a large, juicy slice of watermelon — and Aldi knows it. At $5.15 for a large, seedless melon, you can round out your next party fruit platter for less.
Now in peak season, Aldi’s watermelon is likely bursting with flavor and melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. Buy it at Aldi and spend less than you would at other grocery stores while enjoying the same refreshing fruit.
Clancy’s Original Kettle Chips
- Price: $1.65
Kettle chips are a summer barbecue staple — but these days, chips can get expensive Thankfully, Aldi’s Clancy kettle chips bring the same fantastic flavor, crispy texture and, most importantly, the crunch you’re looking for — just without the price markup.
At just $1.65 per bag, you’re getting the same addictive flavor of your favorite brands for less money.
