New Grocery Price Comparison List Between Aldi, Target, Publix and Walmart

I noticed a very interesting price development this week between Aldi and Target. Aldi has raised it's price on powdered sugar and brown sugar from $1.29 to $1.49, while Target has lowered their price on the very same products from $1.52 to $1.44. Target has also lowered it's price on sugar to $2.50 from $2.79, and Aldi's sugar is still $2.89. This means Target is taking the lead in the main baking department, but they have raised the price on flour from $1.77 to $1.92, where Aldi is still at $1.49 here in South Florida. This just shows you how the prices fluctuate, even when there are no sales. Although Target has lowered some prices, they have raised others, so it is very important to study and know your prices, if you want to get the most out of your grocery budget.

I have put a question mark on the grocery price comparison list for the red potatoes, onions and avocados, which I found on sale at $0.49 on Wednesday here in South Florida. This was a local one-day sale though, so I am not sure what the regular price will be though. I suspect the regular price is still cheaper than at the competitors though.

Now, if you are looking for strawberries, Aldi has them this week!

The above grocery price comparison list between Aldi, Publix, Target and Walmart was last updated on 3/24/2011. If you need a newer edition go to the Aldi Price Comparison List tab.

You can find a price comparison list between Aldi and Save A Lot here.

The grocery price comparison list is created based on South Florida prices, and you might find regional price differences. South Florida prices are usually a bit higher than in the rest of the country, so you will likely find better prices at your local store. It is a constant work in progress, and if there is any specific products you would like to see included, let me know in the comment area.

I do my best to keep up with the price changes, but if I miss something please feel free to let me know. Aldi price changes are ongoing, but most change on Sundays and Wednesdays. Target and Walmart prices change on Sundays and Publix prices change on Thursdays....I try my best to keep the price list updated throughout the week.

If you found a great Aldi price I would love to hear about it...
