Aldi vs Walmart - here now don't believe the hype

[capelhendrejack]

Read up on many comments about Aldi being cheaper than Walmart before we travelled. Here at moment, we did a full shop in Aldi, came to $244 and prices didn't seem to us to be any cheaper than previous visits to Walmart or Publix... following week went to Walmart, many items were a lot cheaper in Walmart whom as you'd expect had far more choice... our view is genuinely don't believe the Aldi hype !

I would spend less in Aldi because apart from the isle of shame (which was't really a thing last time I was in an Aldi stateside) there is a lot less stuff, far fewer choices, and a greater chance of only buying what you went in for. $244 for a week? How many did you shop for?

We always go to Walmart, some things are expensive, but we just get what we want, we are on holiday after all and I like a good mooch around at all the non food stuff (DH would not agree!).

I’d be quite interested to know which items you found cheaper in Walmart because we were there a few weeks ago and definitely found most items cheaper in Aldi.

A tray of 24 bottles of water was twice the price in Walmart and every item of fruit n veg we bought was cheaper in Aldi - sometimes up to half the price.

Wow $244 in Aldi. That’s over £200 - that’s some achievement in Aldi

Personally, I would rather go to Target/Publix/Walmart and experience the real America rather than some European discount store😀 It’s part of our holiday enjoyment going round Target

Same here. Most items we found were cheaper in Aldi - a few were similar price in walmart but I would say most items were alot cheaper in Aldi.
We did the bulk basic buys in Aldi but still went to walmart & target and got lots there too

I agree on this, funny as I was speaking to my mum about this yesterday. We will be going to wal mart for our food shop and other essentials however we have agreed that we will be paying a visit to Aldi to stock up on the Beletti Prosecco that they at selling for $8 at th store on the 192. I really don’t like their sparking wines over there lol!

We always stay in a villa but never do a food shop, just bottles of water, orange juice, beers and a few snacks.
We eat out all the time, I’m on holiday too I’m certainly not cooking 😂

got to agree with this

a trip ( or 4 ) to Target and Walmart is part of the trip, I can go to Aldi and walk around pallets of box's of cornflakes at home if i really wanted to

Ah see for me, I think we're gonna check out Aldi for price. We're big fans of making sandwiches, taking fruit out with us during the day. I like to save money on stuff like that so I can then buy my M&Ms.
