5 products that are better to buy in Aldi instead of Trader Joe's

If you buy products at Trader Joe's due to low prices, this is most likely a reasonable choice. But there are a few everyday products that will cost you less at Aldi.

“Aldi has a lot of good quality, good tasting and good priced products,” says John Karolefsky, analyst and editor CNBC. “This is one of the reasons why they are so successful in the US.”

Part of the secret to the store's low prices is that the vast majority of their items are private label, so you don't pay for the marketing and advertising that brands typically use to attract customers.

The strategy is similar to that used by Trader Joe's, but Aldi can successfully compete with him in price. There are several nuances: the goods are in the packaging in which they arrived, the store has fewer employees, you have to bring and pack your own products yourself, and you have to rent a shopping basket to ensure it returns to the store.

Aldi and Trader Joe's are independently operated companies with different but once related corporate "parents." We can say that these are relatives living in different cities.

The next time you go to the grocery store, try buying these five products at Aldi to save a little.

Cheese

When you're looking for cheddar, Swiss cheese, mozzarella, Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, head to Aldi. The grocery chain sells Happy Farms cheese in 8-ounce blocks for just $1,99. A bag of shredded mozzarella costs $3,29 for 16 ounces, compared to $3,79 at Trader Joe's. Mild cheddar and shredded organic cheeses are also cheaper at Aldi.

Aldi sells a number of specific cheeses such as English cheddar and white Stilton with mango and ginger, but prices and availability may vary. Trader Joe's offers a wider selection, especially for imported cheeses.

Cereals

While Trader Joe's has a wide selection of cereals, Aldi also has a great selection of organic and conventional grains—and beats the competition on price.

If you like Trader Joe's Joe's O's, which sell for $ 1,99 per box in 15 ounces, you should know that this is not the lowest price. Aldi sells a smaller box of 12 ounces for $ 1,49, which in the end is a little cheaper at the price of an ounce. The same uniform price gap is observed for nuts and rice flakes.

Looking for organic options? Aldi's SimplyNature Oatmeal sells for $ 2,99 per box in 15,5 ounces. Trader Joe's same organic Crunch N 'Oats honey flakes cost $ 3,49 per pack in 14 ounces.

Meat

When it comes to fresh, frozen, organic or traditional meat products, Aldi beats Trader Joe's on price. Fresh skinless, boneless chicken breast is $2,29 per pound at Aldi and $2,69 per pound at Trader Joe's. The organic variety is 20 cents less per pound at Aldi.

Aldi sells 85 / 15 ground beef for $ 3,69 per pound and an 16 ounce organic ground beef bag for $ 5,29. Trader Joe's ground beef will cost customers $ 5,49 per pound for 85 / 15 and $ 5,99 for packing organic minced meat of the same size.

Walnut little

Aldi not only outperforms Trader Joe's in the price of peanut butter, but also offers a wider selection. Aldi has traditional, natural, and organic varieties of peanut butter (both creamy and crispy), starting at $ 1,79 for an 16 ounce can.

Aldi sells non-GMO almond oil under its SimplyNature brand at $ 4,89 for 12 ounces. Trader Joe's sells a can of almond butter weighing 16 ounces (salted or unsalted) for $ 5,99. It's a bit cheaper if you compare the price per ounce, but the Aldi version is of higher quality.

Pasta

Until recently, Trader Joe's was the perfect place to buy inexpensive, high-quality pasta. The network offers 99-cent packaging for the main types of pasta: spaghetti, farfalle, rigatoni and pasta, as well as a wide selection of organic and gluten-free pasta.

But Aldi is catching up with this range of options - and at lower prices. Organic whole wheat spaghetti costs $1,09 for a 16-ounce package, compared to $1,49 at Trader Joe's. Aldi sells classic spaghetti in a 32-ounce package for $1,98—slightly cheaper than Trader Joe's when comparing price per ounce.

Aldi also sells gluten-free brown rice spaghetti for $ 1,89 per pack in 16 ounces, and an 16-ounce package of fusilli and penn from brown rice and quinoa costs $ 2,89.
