The January 2012 Aldi Price List: Grocery Prices From Publix, Target, Walmart & Winn-Dixie

It is time for the first Aldi price list in 2012, and I have been busy keeping track of the latest prices after the holiday slow down. I have now been doing the Aldi price list for a year, and some of the prices have changed dramatically. I am working on making a comparison between now and then, and I am very curious to see the price differences.

For meat prices check out the Aldi Meat Prices list, where you can compare your own grocery store's sales prices to make sure you get the best price on the meat your family eats.

The South Florida prices are usually a bit higher than the average, but despite any minor grocery price differences, you can usually count on the products still being cheaper, where I have highlighted it. Grocery prices change often, and it is impossible for me to keep updated on all prices at all times, so please use the below grocery price list as a guide.

You can find the latest Aldi Ad here.

If you have arrived at an older version of the price comparison list, you can find the newest version at the Aldi Price List.

Bold: Best Price

The above grocery price comparison list between Aldi, Publix, Target and Walmart was last updated on 1/6/2012. 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.

I do my best to keep up with the price changes, but Aldi price changes are ongoing. The biggest price changes happen on Sundays and Wednesdays. Target and Walmart prices change on Sundays, Winn-Dixie changes on Wednesday and Publix prices change on Thursdays.

The grocery price comparison list is created based on South Florida prices, and you will likely find regional price differences. South Florida prices are usually a bit higher than in the rest of the country,so hopefully you will find better prices at your local store.
