Aldi is the place you go when you want to stock up your freezer with all the best foods and save money at the same time. That’s because all around the store, but particularly in the frozen aisle, Aldi excels at giving you quality foods for a lower price than the competitor. It has great deals on fruit, snacks, full meals and so much more. Don’t believe it? Check out it for yourself.
Here are five frozen foods that are cheaper at Aldi than other grocery stores.
Cauliflower Crust Pizza
- Aldi’s Price: $6.06
- Ralphs’ Price: $8.94
Mama Cozzi’s line of frozen pizza is only available at Aldi in a variety of flavors and styles, including the gluten free option of cauliflower crust. When compared with Ralphs in-house brand, Simple Truth, you can see that you’ll save about $3.00 by picking up your frozen ‘za at Aldi’s.
Sweet Potatoes
- Aldi’s Price: $1.55
- Ralphs’ Price: $2.99
Simply Nature Organic Frozen Sweet Potatoes are the choice side to complete any meal. With a bag that is microwaveable, you can steam these frozen, naturally gluten and GMO free, vegan potato cubes for dinner without any hassle. Plus, you’ll know that you saved when you shopped at Aldi instead of buying Ralphs Simple Truth Organic Frozen Sweet Potato Dices for nearly twice the price.
Broccoli Florets
- Aldi’s Price: $1.09
- Ralphs’ Price: $2.99
Another veggie that’s perfect to pick up and steam at home, which you can find in the frozen food section of Aldi, are Season’s Choice Steamable Broccoli Florets, which, according to Aldi’s official website are “field to frozen for locked in freshness” and contain no preservatives.
A one-star anonymous review of Ralph’s Simple Truth Organic Frozen Broccoli Florets was titled “Mushy, overripe, not good” and went on to say, “These were the worst quality frozen broccoli I have ever seen.” And beyond that, they are almost three times the price of Aldi’s.
Italian Style Meatballs
- Aldi’s Price: $6.85
- Kroger’s Price: $7.49
The Kroger brand Fully Cooked Microwaveable Italian Style Frozen Meatballs, which you can find at Ralphs, might not be that much more expensive when compared to Bremer Italian Meatballs at Aldi, but these days, when shopping for groceries is more expensive for the average family on a budget, you need to count every penny — as well as every meatball. If you take a closer look at the packaging, you’ll see that you get 64 meatballs for less money when shopping at Aldi versus going to Ralphs and paying more for only 52.
Cheesecake
- Aldi’s Price: $2.19
- Ralphs’ Price: $9.49
Belmont Cheesecake Twin Packs, which come in an assortment of varieties at Aldi, are the perfect snack when you want to indulge, but not too much. Sara Lee Classic Cheesecake has more than two slices, but you might not be able to eat all of that by yourself, which is just money down the drain. Shop at Aldi and fit your budget and appetite with this delicious, frozen concoction.
