Default Cooperative Aldi Price List

If you've come across my blog, you've noticed I'm on kind of an Aldi kick. I know I save money by going there, and it can save time over chasing sales and using coupons. I recently read where some people use Aldi prices as a baseline in their price book, so they know when a sale someplace else is really worthwhile. Sounded like a good idea to me.

But I figured, why should so many people be duplicating the effort? Why not an Aldi price book online, where lots of people could add prices for missing products, and also have access to the info other people have already posted?

So I started a "social spreadsheet" here. It's free to join, then you can add to it. Just an experiment, but maybe it will turn out to be useful...

We have been using Aldi for many, many years. My wife mentally compares prices she sees with the Aldi price. You idea sounds interesting. I will check it out.

I tend to use aldi and Lidl in this financial climate, I think you need to take a step down when belts need to be tightened.

Hi i myself use Aldi's in the uk, very pleased with everything i buy, but must admit the Aldis in USA have a even better choice than ours back home, me and my family went to Florida for 3 wks in the summer and were really surprised at how much cheaper it is in the USA, than the UK, then again we get ripped off left, right and center in this country xx

One thing to keep in mind is that different areas charge different due to local competitors.

Yep. My parents are 2 hrs away and their Aldi and my Aldi don't have the same prices or often they don't even have the same products.
