I was going to say something similar but you said it better. I live near a major NE Ohio city and all the WalMarts near me have issues with theft, credit card skimmers, low stock, spoiled stock, or just plain goofballs shopping there no matter what time of day I go. I prefer to scan and bag my own groceries so I can sort things as I go and my bread isn’t squished under the bag of apples but I prefer Aldi, in and out with no distractions and no drama.

I'm German-American and lived in Germany for many years where my family shopped at Aldi a lot. Not exclusively, but still significantly more than most other grocery stores in Rheinland-Pfalz. I was so thrilled when I first saw an Aldi in the US in the small town I lived in back in the late 90's. I haven't lived anywhere since then that didn't have Aldis all over so I very rarely shop at Walmart any more.

I'm definitely an Aldi shopper. I actually prefer a smaller store on top of the great prices. I get overwhelmed with so many options. I shop Aldi first and then Hy-Vee and Fareway for items Aldi doesn't have. Hy-Vee frequently runs some great sales, but Fareway tends to have more specialty items for better prices. We are Team Extra Toasty Cheez-Its in our house! But typically that's one of the few snacks we buy in name brand. Aldi's version are perfectly fine Cheez-Its duplicates, but they aren't toasty enough to be extra toasty in my opinion. 😀

I shop at Aldi and Walmart, with occasionally stops at Kroger. My Aldi's produce may be cheaper, but the quality isn't the best, so I prefer to pay more at Walmart. The only items I get from Kroger are from their sales. Thanks for doing the comparison Mindy!

Thank you for your thoughts and comparisons. I am 65 miles away from my nearest Aldi and I really like Aldi. I’m 2 1/2 miles from my nearest Walmart. Prior to Covid. Aldi was significantly less expensive than Walmart. You could get a gallon of milk for $1.60 of 2%.since Covid they in my opinion, do not have better prices enough to justify 130 mile round-trip.

I think I might just make a Walmart pickup order now .. sometimes I just don't have the bandwidth for Aldi, and this made me feel better that the prices weren't that far off with store brands

Agree it is definitely regional -our Walmart is actually a few cents cheaper on nearly everything plus the Aldi is nearly an hour away !

At my store, Aldi usually wins by a few cents. I dont shop the brand name stuff at Aldi because I haven't found them to be big savings. Aldi does make it easy as their stock is limited.

I shop at both! They are one block apart. But I do most of my food shopping at Aldi vs. Wal-Mart.

I'm making an Aldi list while I'm watching this! 🦋 I have the trifecta of Sam's Club / Walmart / Aldi in a row where I live! I drive across the parking lot from one store to another!

I would love to have an Aldi close to where I live! When I go visit my daughter in MS, I always take my ice chest and cold bags and do a grocery run on my way home just for the sake of saving a little money vs. shopping at Walmart; which is where I generally shop. Great video!

It is definitely regional because our Aldi's now has either the same prices as Walmart or actually more than our local Walmart. Which is crazy to me because I have been shopping at Aldi's for a very long time and I would always go there first. Now I still price check, but rarely find that it is worth it. Plus ours is always struggling to stay stocked, which then makes me go to Walmart or another store depending on sales, to get what I need.

Aldi and meal planning are my two favorite food shop strategies. It saves us so much money. Aldi is so quick and easy to shop too. The Aldi stores in my area are way smaller than a Meijer or Walmart, so I spend much less time actually walking around the store. It's also the closest to me. 45 minute trip for a weekly food shop for my family of 4. (For comparison, I used to spend an hour and a half when I shopped at Meijer.) Love it.

I shop at both places. I usually go to Aldi first and then place an online order at Walmart. I like to pick out my own produce and Aldi most of the time has fresh. We are retired and try to stay on a budget. I also like Kroger as they have great online coupons. I just look at each ad for the week online and then decide.

I shop at Aldi, Walmart, Lidl, Kroger and Food Lion. I only shop the sales and mostly use pick up to avoid temptation. don't shop at all those stores every week. Really enjoy and learn from your videos!

Aldi / Walmart I love the price comparisons. Thanks for the realistic & positive videos.

The price difference has gotten less noticeable. 😞 I chose several things from Sam’s this week because the cost was better. I’m also an hour from the nearest Aldi, but I’m in the area about once a week anyway, so I plan to stop.

Thanks for the video. Empty-nesters here in the pricey area of San Diego where nothing is inexpensive. I have to watch every dime so, I may be a more unusual shopper. Prices make my decisions for me. I'm lucky as I have a Winco & a Walmart & 2 Adli's very close to me. I find Winco & Aldi are the cheapest. I try not to spend over $3 for meat. Last week, Winco had huge boneless pork loins on sale for $2.19 lb. I got one & divided it up for 10 packages for chops & a 2 lb roast for pulled pork. Frugal shopping is possible. It takes planning, & discipline. I love marked down racks. But, each person & family are different with different needs & desires. Happy shopping!

Always enjoy your posts. So helpful. Thanks for the realistic comparisons. You certainly do your homework.

I am an Aldi shopper and for big box store mostly BJ's. I am fortunate to have all 3 plus 2 Kroger stores within 1 mile of my home. I have noticed lately the Aldi store is raising prices and they are close to Walmart, so as you said if you have drive much farther from your home to get to one or the other, the closer one would be best. I am an elderly widow, so for the most part my son picks up my groceries for me (that really cuts out impulse buying). I do have a large well prepped pantry, so most of the time it is just bread, milk and 1/2 & 1/2. Thanks for sharing this comparison shopping trip. I enjoyed it very much. Have a Blessed day.

(Posting as Joyce) We live in Rockland County NY. The closest grocery stores are Aldi and Shoprite. Shoprite has really good deals on groceries, but some things are cheaper at Aldi. Then again, I can't always find what I am looking for at Aldi. I do like to shop at Walmart but, the closest one is just not that convenient. Thank you for all that you do!!!

I appreciate you Mindy, great comparison video! Love Aldi!! ❤

Mindy, you are so right about life presenting different challenges to us, seasons at a time. As a new momma, I am always happy to buy Parents Choice diapers from Walmart. The pickup saved my sanity while juggling this transition into motherhood. However, I find that the quality of foods in Aldi are much better, and I am able to shop myself with my little one in tow, and I have discovered that food in our house lasts longer because of the quality. Thank you for your videos, Mindy! 🙂

I shop at both Aldi's and Walmart (and Trader Joe's and Costco) depending on what I need. My Walmart is pretty small, and the grocery aisles are only about 5-6 short aisles. So, in my town Aldi's has more variety. Still, I prefer that to the Walmart in my mom's town that has converted to a SuperWalmart. I thought it would be great, but it is Exhausting, especially if you don't know where everything is and have to go back around, lol.

I love Aldi but work at Walmart, so I usually grab what I need after work.

I appreciate your honest comparison. I’m not a big WalMart fan and we don’t have Aldi in my city, but I was able to visit one when in the Austin area. I couldn’t have been more disappointed. I compared prices on some of the items I had recently purchased (granted most were name brand), the price was either the same or higher. The other thing that was a turn off was the overall disarray of items on the shelves. The one bright spot was the produce but I was fully stocked so left without spending a penny. Costco, Sam’s and HEB remain my favorites, with WalMart for certain items.

Walmart stopped having the lowest prices in town years ago. I started looking around and was surprised to find similar items cheaper elsewhere. When I ventured over to Aldi I found brands that were new to me and better quality. I also found items that I could not find at Walmart. It is interesting to see what is available in your area and do some comparisons. What I save in one area I can splurge on for others...Like my favorite pasta sauce that doesn't come cheap.

I do a once a month grocery haul at Aldi. I usually skip on their meats and purchase meat when on sale at other supermarkets along with other loss leaders. I shop occasionally at Walmart but not often. Household of one here. I enjoyed this price comparison video, Mindy!

thank you for this video. I love all the things you point out about the comparison. where i live we have an aldi but it seems to be smaller and sometimes out of alot of items. So i usually go to aldi first and get what I can and what they have there, then whatever I cant find at aldi I go to the big walmart to get. also shop the sales at the *more expensive* grocery store. there are only a handful of things that I like a certain brand. Most things I am more then satisfied with the generic store brand from aldi or walmart. I cook from scratch most of the time for my family. it is certainly cheaper and better quality then most of whatever you get out.

I've been an ALDI shopper for over 30 years. We also shop at BJ's warehouse weekly. And once or twice a month we might hit Costco, Sam's Club, LIDL, World Market, Publix, Ingle's etc...

This is super helpful. Thanks!!

I'm on Long Island, NY, until last year the closest Aldi was FAR from me. Now there are 2 close to my job. Walmart here isn't very easy though. Most aren't Supercenters & there's only 1 neighborhood market in the county so we have very little meat & produce in Walmart. I'm actually going to Aldi for the 1st time tomorrow & I'm so excited!

I shop at WinCo, Aldi, Wal-Mart, Dollar Tree and Price Mart. I've noticed if you go at certain times of the day, they will have a good selection of discounted meat. I also go to the clearance sections of the store. I'm temporarily in a town in Delaware County, Oklahoma. The food here is much more than the Tulsa metro. I'm a frugal and smart shopper.

I do shop at both Aldi and Walmart, but I usually start at the bigger name stores for their sales first. I live in an area though that all 3 stores are in a 3 or 4 mile range.

I did a couple of comparison shops of Walmart, Aldi, and Publix. I chose sale items and/or store brands at Publix and was not brand loyal. I chose store brands at Aldi and Walmart. All three stores came within a dollar or two of one another. I feel like if I shop the sales, I'm doing well.

Publix almost always has a brand of cottage cheese on sale, even if it's not my favorite. I can stock up on my favorite when it's BOGO and make do with another brand when I'm out.

I shop at a local grocery store for their ad items, then Sams club, Aldi and walmart last to get whatever I couldnt find at the other stores. Our stores are pretty close together. It takes about 3 hours to shop per week. Our budget is $280/week for a family of 7. It includes all meals, (I pack cold lunches) and laundry soap, kleenex etc.

I prefer going almost anywhere other than Walmart, but it actually tends to be where I end up going because of the convenience and variety. There are some things I just cannot get at Aldi, and I’d rather just get all of my shopping done at one time in one place.

Just for reference I'm in MA. I wasn't at all surprised by the results between Aldi and WM. For an overall shopping trip I'm going to spend less at Aldi. I do still go to WM for a few things such as toiletry items and a few things where I prefer WM brand to the Aldi brand or things I just can't get at Aldi. Great video! 😊

Great video! It's good to know the prices for Walmart and Aldi. Aldi's is wayyy too crowded for me, and too small of a store. I have bad anxiety so I go to Weis at around 7am when it's just opened and pretty empty. Weis is a bit more pricey than Walmart on certain items but overall about the same, and Weis offers e-coupons. I liked your suggestion in another video to do pick-up orders from Walmart so you stick to your list and don't do an impulse buy

I love shopping Aldi and have for over 15 years. I am torn over the last few years as I enjoy the convenience of grocery pick up and know I’m paying more for my Aldi pickup when using the third party app. I go back and forth with Walmart and Aldi now. The wait time at pick up is MUCH less at Aldi too, which I assume is due to the mark up.

You can easily make brown sugar at home with white sugar and molasses. I do it in my mixer because it's easier, but you can do it by hand too.

I never seem to be able to get good produce at Walmart… it looks great in the store but goes south really quickly. I tend to buy produce at Krogers and can goods at Aldi😊

I feel that the shopping experience is much better at Aldi - I love to look at all the new items and sometimes treat myself to a dupe of a high-end store in the Aldi finds aisle.

I don't have an Aldi and shop at Safeway, Fred Meyer, Winco, and Target mostly. I only go to Walmart if those stores are out of what I'm looking for. Right now, I have a pickup order with Target for bread flour, and light and dark brown sugar because they are priced the best out of the stores that have the items available.

Thank you for doing this side by side! I've never shopped at Aldi's but with the difference of most only being pennies, I know that it won't be worth it to go out of the way to try Aldi.

This video was very helpful. I have recently started shopping at Aldi. Both Aldi and Walmart are very close by. The main problem with Aldi is limited selection. I can't find the kind of coffee creamer or salad dressing I like. So I go to Aldi first then I go across the street to Walmart.

I do both....or rather the UK equivalent. We also have lidl which I quite like. But you're so right about time.... I often defer to my 'walmart' delivery because it saves me so much time and some impulse buying

One major reason that I don’t shop at Aldi much is the size of their products. I have a big family. And Walmart just can’t be beat for the variety of bulk items available.

Awesome video, thanks Mindy 👍👍👍

I wish there was an Aldi here. Oregon has Walmart, Albertsons, Winco, Fred Myers and Safeway

I've gone online and compared prices before figuring out which store was worth the trip. In my area, you paid more per oz at Aldis than Walmart for just about everything. I was really surprised! BUT Aldis is 5 vs 15 minute drive in stop & go traffic.

I really like Aldi and used to shop there regularly but Walmart is more practical for me, for the reasons you mentioned, proximity and grocery pickup being easier and less expensive. I have no problem meeting the $35 threshold

I am an Aldi girl, for sure! I have noticed that their prices have gone up, as well as Walmart’s. I avoid Walmart like the plague but I do use Walmart pickup for necessities that I can’t get at Aldi.

My nearest Aldi is an hour away, compared to 15 minutes for Walmart and 20-25 for Brookeshire's. I'm glad the price difference isn't too extreme. But I really wish the other stores had something like the Aldi red bag chicken!

I shop both stores as well as Kroger and Food Lion. Kroger is less than a mile away. Everything else is much farther so I either plan my trips or use Walmart delivery.

I shop both Walmart and Aldi. There are some items that Walmart has you just can't get at Aldi. I am fortunate that my Aldi and Walmart are within a half a mile from each other though.

With young kids i was shopping exclusively at walmart to save time and gas, now that kids are older and not as needy i am starting to compare prices and shop more frugally. Im jumping around between walmart, ruler foods (krogers version of aldi), and surpisingly dollar tree. Ive found some good things for actually good prices there, despite the typically smaller packages.

I shop multiple stores. Based on who has what on sale and what i need that week. I have Kroger, Piggly Wiggly, Aldi and Walmart with a gas station within about a 3 mile stretch of road. And a Family Dollar, Dollar General and Dollar Tree in that same stretch of road. I'm lucky there. 😊

I just found your video and earlier today I was wondering - "Should I go to Aldi or Walmart for a few things I need?" A very informative video, thank you. Oh, and by the way, I went to Walmart!

Hi Mindy, I’m a very frugal shopper and also looking for quality of ingredients. I’m fortunate that I can shop at Aldi, Trader Joe’s, Food Lion, Walmart and Wegnans all within 5 miles of each other. I always start at Aldi. On to Trader Joe’s and Food Lion depending on the sale items. My Walmart is not great for quality of fresh produce but good for canned goods. Wegmans is pricey but great for unique items for special recipe ingredients.

Much like in this video I find that most items at Aldi and Walmart in my area are within 1-25 cents of each other, but I have found that some items are cheaper at Walmart. Also there are a few items that I just prefer the Walmart brand to the Aldi brand and I find the Walmarts in my area get better quality on certain produce items.

☹️ i don't have an Aldi store near me. I mainly shop at Walmart, but occasionally Super1 on items that go on sale cheaper than Walmart prices. I do appreciate all the hard wok you do for us watching your channel. Thanks for keeping it real😉👍🙏❤️

For a few years now, my father-in-law has taken off one weekday morning twice per month to drive 30-40 minutes into the nearest city (we live in the rural Great Plains) to hit Aldi, Trader Joe’s, Sam’s Club, and more recently Costco. The only major grocery store we have in our town is a Walmart Supercenter. I started going with him on those bimonthly mornings when I can, and the cost difference is substantial, and I do most of that shopping at Aldi. The gas ends up being paid for by what is saved on groceries. Also, concerning living in a rural area, things go out of stock at our Walmart and take a while to come back, often accompanied by a price hike (heavy whipping cream and eggs, for example). It’s so nice to know that I’ll more than likely find the item for a slightly cheaper price and better quality at Aldi. My family and I are moving this year to an area that has an Aldi in town, and we’re so excited :)
