One of the biggest expenses in most budgets, other than the house payment is groceries. There are so many ways to save on groceries and I know I have told you all so many times how much I love Aldi with the super low prices and great selection. If you are an Aldi shopper I am going to let you all in on a little secret…there are more ways to save money at Aldi!!! Since Aldi does not accept coupons and they already have super low prices I am sure you’re wondering just how it’s possible, but it is.
Ways to Save Money at Aldi
- Checkout 51: If you have not had the chance to try Checkout 51 now is the time because it’s a great way to save money at Aldi. My last shopping trip I was able to save on eggs and fresh produce by scanning in my receipt on the app. You do not need a smartphone to use checkout 51, you can use it direct on a regular computer. Not all Checkout 51 offers will work at Aldi since they do not carry name brand however you can get great savings on produce and other goods which adds up fast.
- Price Reductions: Be on the lookout the next time you are in store for the red “lower price” signs. These signs can be found in the Special Buys section (normally found in the middle of the store) and often times they just pop up anywhere in the store, so keep your eyes peeled.
- Limited Time In Store Promotions: Just like price reductions, keep an eye out for the limited time in store promotions. These often vary by region. Often times these are buy 1 get 1 free deals on items so be on the lookout and be sure to stock up when you see them.
- Coupons: Aldi does not accept manufacturer coupons however they do break their own rule sometimes, especially if an item is nearing its sell by date. These store coupons are little red stickers found on the product. I have found these mainly in the meat and dairy sections of the store.
- Buy Meat on Wednesday: Each Wednesday Aldi offers a new sale on meat. You can find the details on the Fresh Meat Special Buy here. It varies each week but the prices are always much lower than you will find at the other local stores.
- Shop the Seasonal Clearance: Normally you will find a seasonal clearance sale where they will offer super low prices on goods you can use throughout the year. That red velvet cake mix can be used at Christmas and those Christmas popcorn tins can be eaten all year round. This is a great time to score some rock bottom prices.
- Shop the Weekly Deals: Plan ahead and plan your meals around the Aldi Weekly deals. I post them each week here and you can get them emailed to you by going here.

I would love to learn how to coupon!!! Help
Thank you!
Don’t forget to bring back a product if there’s something wrong with it for a double your money back guarantee. I recently brought back the packaging for a stir fry mix that had missed having the sauce added. Since the product was out of stock, I got my original money back plus the cashier scanned something for me that was close in price in place of the product to be replaced.
I’ve been a loyal Aldi shopper for over ten years. I’ve never seen any coupons stuck to items though. I wonder if they only do that in some stores? I will ahve to make it a point to go on Wednesdays to look for meat specials too. I know I’ve gotten them at times but I didn’t know there was a certain day they did it. Thanks for the tips!
The coupons that are stickers on a product are generally used for bakery or meat items nearing expiration. Especially when only a few need sold quickly and the rest are fine. As for the meat specials, Wednesday’s are just the starting day for the week’s meat special, not the only day you can get it. In fact, look for these meat specials long after they were advertised, as they frequently get too much and then have to mark it down with the res stickers.
