Aldi is known for its premise as a discount grocery store, but any regular Aldi shopper knows there are still some things that aren't necessarily the best deal. On the other hand, the store has a bunch of products that are such a good deal, they've reached go-to status for frugal shoppers.
If chicken breasts are part of your regular grocery get, you probably experience some pricing whiplash — unless you're an Aldi shopper. While other grocery stores have considerable fluctuations in the pricing of their chicken breasts, Aldi keeps things more consistent, right around $2.50 a pound for family packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts.
Heavy whipping cream is one of the most random high points of shopping at Aldi. In recent years, this stuff is about $6 at grocery giants, but at Aldi, it's often half the price.
Aldi prides itself on having cheap egg prices, and shoppers attest to it by getting their eggs there.
