Food prices in aldi

[Rach88]

Can we talk about the food prices in aldi!!!
Im sure the cheese used to be £1.79 now its £2.79!!!! WTF

Yeah it's so bad they just keep going up and up still in my opinion if supermarkets are still putting stuff up its pure greed now and I notice at aldi especially it doesn't go up by 5 or 10p either it's like 50p at a time it's crazy

So glad you've started this whenever its mentioned on Facebook the Aldi cult are like a pack of rabid Chihuahuas nipping the ankles of anyone that dares question it

Yes prices are definitely rapidly rising in Aldi to the point its not really cheaper to shop there over anywhere else, and the quality of there fresh produce is actually quite bad at times and they don't rotate stock properly either the amount of times I've picked something up and it's out of date.
I'm back off to tesco

This is the thing isn't it? if they keep hiking up the prices they will be as expensive as the other big four so there will be no need to shop there anymore. There skin of fries used to be 89p they are now £1.79!

I used to go to Aldi because it was so cheap, then I'd just go to Asda for a top up of all the branded things we like which you can't get in Aldi. Now I'm finding it's actually cheaper to just do my full shop in Asda and not bother with Aldi at all. The fresh fruit and veg is quite poor in Aldi and goes off super fast, the meat I find always has really short dates on the shelves so it's not worth buying as I need it to last the full week really. I can't believe how much the prices have gone up in there!

Another shock I got in aldi they've changed the design on the beans tin (which when your autistic is just unsettling enough) but there was the 'old' design in stock and compared them the old one is 420g new one 400g!! I'm just like how on earth do they possibly think they get away with it?! If they've changed the recipe as well I'll lose my shit they're literally the only beans on the planet I like it's getting more and more ridiculous shrinkfaltion and cost of greed now really

I've noticed that the price differences aren't all that big between aldi and sainsbury's now.

I stick to Sainsbury’s as there’s more choice and I get the nectar rewards offers by shopping using the SmartShop app. It gives discounts on items you buy frequently. Some weeks you benefit and make more savings than others, but I really rate it overall.

I went and did my monthly Aldi trip today, we only go once and buy a month's worth of certain cupboard stuff and other items that have always been cheaper there because they are knock offs of brands. It cost me £95 and I only filled 2 bags. The stuff I've always bought there because it's cheaper than branded alternatives, like pepperamis, are now the same price.

I did get 2 reed diffusers and 2 easter eggs, but these came to under £20 in total. So £75 for 2 bags of food. Absolutely shocking.

I stick to Sainsbury's and M&S, they're genuinely the same/cheaper now, but much nicer. Everything in Aldi has shrunk hugely too - groovy bars are literally half the size they were! Daughter kept asking for things and I had to say no because I'm not paying the same price for miniature versions!

I know!! An 50p in nearly every item is a pure joke.

Omg they need to get a grip, the price increases are bad! Clearly they are all loaded an don't care about the cost of living lol

Marks an Spencers prices are sometimes cheaper than aldi with the way they are going

 

[Rosie glow]

As a side note I think customer service is aldi is shocking to what it used to be when we first started shopping there
A couple of weeks ago the assistant on the till we were on told the que there was another till open further on nobody moved to which she very loudly said over her head set " nobody can be arsed to walk down there" wtf
Then the other day the assistant snapped at my mum because apparently her trolly was in the wrong position. Um nobody talks to my mum like that lady she's lucky she didn't get her face slapped.

I’ve been noticing for a few years (quite a while before the steep rise in prices everywhere) that Aldi prices were rising!
It hasn’t been the cheap place that it was for quite some time now.

 

[Warpaint]

Like @MrsBsDayOff when I used to go I could never seem to get a full shop in. The stores in general are always a bit grim and generally disordered. There does seem to be some sort of cult around aldi & lidl as if we're all missing out on some great secret. I think their rise is over and they'll sit somewhere middle to bottom on the supermarket list for people.

Agree with having to go elsewhere for stuff and I’m not particularly brand loyal.

Gave up with the fruit and veg, it goes rotten before you get out of the car park although I have read they don’t chill the way other supermarkets do so may explain that.

Have also stopped buying chicken, the last batch of fresh breast was so poor the dog was treated for weeks (we freeze in batches). Frozen veg used to be ok but out of stock for months, same with bleach of all things.

Finding Sainsbury’s with their price match is becoming our go to.

Had anyone else noticed that the middle aisles seem to retain a lot of stuff from weeks ago rather than changing the stock properly to what's in the bloody catalogue?? Maybe it's just my local Aldi...

No I’ve noticed this too, ours is just full of random stuff that hasn’t shifted.

Frozen veg lidl last year was 59p a bag. Now its £1.29.
Cheaper in Sainsburys.

So glad there is a thread for this!
Getting so annoyed at how much prices jump almost weekly!
For example I buy the Mamia formula milk and in the space of 5 weeks it’s gone from being £8.69 to £8.99 and now to £9.39!
Still cheaper than every other brand but that’s not the point, I don’t believe everything needs to jump up as big and quick as it is!

 

[Foxy86]

Not only do they shove prices up I'm sure your paying so much more for less now like the loo rolls jumped up when it was £1.99 for yonks I want to say for a good 6 months never went up in a week it went up to £2.25 I was shocked and that rolls definitely aren't lasting me half as long as they used too

Oh I know!!! Or things are now in packs of 5 instead of 6 etc but still 25p+ more
