In the average American family, no one wants to overspend on groceries. It’s not the hardest thing to do. But, we do our best to make it as easy as possible.

  • Aldi might be less well known and more prominent in the US than Walmart at the moment, but Aldi is warning Walmart about its extremely low prices. Is Aldi cheaper than Walmart? You might be surprised by this breakdown!
  • Is Aldi Cheaper Than Walmart In 2022? (You'll Be Surprised)

    Is Aldi Cheaper Than Walmart In 2022?

    Aldi may not be as cheap or cheaper than Walmart in certain areas, such as produce and seafood. Walmart, whose stores outnumber Aldi 2-to-1, has dropped prices on many of their store brand, Great Value, items. This has created instances where Aldi is not the cheapest, though usually, the difference is only a few cents.

    Let’s start by breaking down the most commonly purchased grocery items. Then, let’s see what happens when these two meet.

  • Pricing Comparison Methodology
  • To keep this simple, I followed a basic methodology.

    Aldi’s and Walmart’s prices are subject to slight variations depending on where they live. Aldi doesn’t have an online price list except Instacart. In that case, it can add up. I used the Aldi price guide as well as receipts from the previous year.

    Walmart.com had the following information: The address, and consequently the prices, were for a small town in the Great Lakes region.

    I only compared the most popular items in grocery stores, using each store’s own label when possible and noting any differences where necessary.

    In the absence of any other choice, I compare items by price per-ounce or pound.

    The final note: Prices and availability are subject to change without notice in any country. This price list is an instant snapshot that I attempted to accurately capture and it is not intended to replace any official price lists.

  • Produce
  • Aldi and Walmart prices: Aldi Price Walmart Price Aldi Product Onions..89.78 Tricolor Peppers, 3 2.99.33.7 White Mushrooms., 8 Oz. 1.45 each 1.88 Each Hearts of Romain 3 Pack 2.39 3.08 Head of Iceberg Lettuce 1.35EACH 1.48 Each Asparagus 2.45/lb. 2.48/lb. Broccoli Crowns 1.45/lb. 1.33/lb. Baby Carrots, 16 oz. .89 .98 Bag Spinach, 8 oz. 1.19 1.54 Grapes 1.55/lb. 1.56/lb Strawberries, 1 lb. 1.45 1.67 Pineapple 1.49 each 1.68 Honey Crisp Apples, 1 lb. 2.19 2.80 Limes, 1 lb. 1.99 2.15
  • It is not surprising that Aldi has beaten Walmart in a number of produce price categories.

    While shoppers have complained that Aldi’s produce isn’t always up to par, the stores purportedly receive new shipments every day (and the stock gets rotated – oldest produce on the top).

  • Seafood and Meat
  • Aldi vs. Walmart Prices: Meat & Seafood Item Aldi Price Walmart Price Chicken breasts, 1 lb. 1.89 2.08 Skinless/boneless chicken breasts, 1 lb. 1.89.24 Pork Loin. 2.29 3.38* Boneless Pork Chops. 1 lb. 3.79 4.12 93% Ground Beef 4.99 5.97 80/20 Ground Beef 3.39 4.24 Beef Stew Meat 5.49/lb. 6.98 Chuck Roast 5.99/lb. 6.47 Organic Grass Fed 8/5 Ground Beef 5.99/lb. 3.99 4.98 (Hillshire Farm) Imitation crab meat, 8 oz. 1.19.99 Freshly packaged salmon, 1lb. 7.79 7.64
  • *Note, Tyson is the only comparable brand of pork loin sold at Walmart.

    Aldi outsells Walmart across all meat prices with the exception of seafood.

  • Aldi often has meat sales; occasionally, chicken thighs may be sold in family packs starting at.99/lb. !
  • Bread And Bakery
  • Aldi prices vs. Walmart: Bread and Bakery Items Aldi price Walmart Price Plain English Muffins 1.15 1.18 Hawaiian Sweet rolls 1.49 2.50 Blueberry Bagels 1.49 1.88 Mini Donuts 2.39 2.36 Organic Seated Bread, 20 oz. 3.49 4.00 Ciabatta Rolls 2.69 2.77
  • *Note: Walmart carries only Thomas brand bagel thicks.

    Walmart does not sell their own brand of bagel thinners. I was forced to use Thomas’ brand instead. Walmart’s bagel thins are not as popular as if they had their own.

    Aldi’s bread price wins in all except three categories.

  • Frozen Foods
  • Aldi vs. Walmart: Frozen Foods Item Aldi Price Walmart Price Corn, 12 oz. .47 1.00 Brussels Sprouts, 12 oz. 1.15 1.27 Red Beans, 16oz. 1.75 1.79 Tater Tots, 32 oz. 1.55 1.67 Mixed Fruit 32 oz. 4.39 4.26 Thin Crust Cheese Pizza 2.19 2.80 Sausage, Egg & Cheese Muffin, 4-count 3.09 3.97 Vanilla Ice Cream, 48 oz. 1.85 3.98 Flavored ice cream, 16 oz. 2.09 4.38 Ben and Jerry’s Basic Veggie Burger. 2.99 2.98 Medium Cooked Shrimp, 12 oz. 4.59 5.60 chicken nuggets, 29oz. 3.55 4.28 (32 oz.)
  • Aldi’s specialty, vanilla flavored ice cream isn’t comparable to Walmart prices. Walmart makes their own.

    However, this is what they sell that is comparable, and Aldi will save you two whole dollars! They are extremely popular.

  • Pasta And Grains
  • Aldi vs. Walmart Prices: Pasta & Grains Item Aldi Price Walmart Price Elbow Macaroni, 32 oz. 1.89 .1.64 Mac & Cheese, 7.25 oz. .34.34 Gluten Free Penne 16 oz. 2.89 2.98 Jasmine Rice, 5 lbs. 5.45 (.069/oz) .077/oz. Instant White Rice, 28 Ouz. 2.65 2.44 Instant Mashed Potatoes, 4 oz. .59 .74
  • Walmart maintains a competitive edge in the pasta/grains category. Aldi can even be beat for instant white Rice.

    That said, if you eat a lot of rice and you have a rice cooker, the bag of Jasmine rice from Aldi is your best bet to save money over the long run.

  • Snacks
  • Aldi vs. Walmart Prices: Snacks Item Aldi Price Walmart Price Plain Potato Chips, 8 oz. 1.35 1.23 Wavy Potato Chips, 10 oz. 1.35 1.23 Plain Kettle Chips, 8 oz. 1.29 1.33 Pretzel Minis, 16 oz. 1.32 1.33 Tortilla Chips, 13 oz. .92 1.74 Dry Roasted peanuts, 16 oz. 1.79 1.98 Granola Bars. 10 ct. 1.15.43 (12ct.) Original Woven Wheat Crackers. 9 oz. 1.35 1.28 Chocolate Chip Cookie Thins, 4 oz. 2.29 2.74 (7-oz, Chips Ahoy brand) Dark Chocolate Bar .29/oz. .56/oz. Fruit Snacks, 28 ct. .15/oz. .136/oz. White Cheddar, 8.5 oz. 1.49 1.74 (9 oz.)
  • Walmart offers a discount of a couple cents if you and your family love Triscuit knock-offs and chips. Aldi has been the winner of every category of snack here.

  • Items to use in the pantry
  • Aldi vs. Walmart Prices: Pantry Items Item Aldi Price Walmart Price Peanut Butter, 40 oz. 2.29 (.06/oz) 2.47 Mayonnaise, 30 oz. 1.75 1.94 Whipped Dressing. 30 oz. 1.89 1.98 Ranch Dressing, 16 oz. 1.49.92 Dill Spears pickles, 24oz. 1.44 1.46 Barbecue Sauce, 18 oz. .95 .98 Soy Sauce, 15 oz. 1.29 1.36 Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 16.9 oz. 3.89 3.94 Distilled Vinegar White, 128 Oz. 2.39 2.67 Canola Oil, 48 oz. 2.15 2.28 Raw Honey, 24 oz. 6.49 (.27/oz) .24/oz Pure Maple Syrup, 12.5 oz. 5.69 6.98
  • Walmart’s raw honey pantry category is the one that Aldi charges more than Walmart. However, this doesn’t surprise given Aldi’s post WWII history as an artisan grocer providing basic supplies for countries rebuilding from disasters.

    Aldi makes it easy to get condiments, oils and other supplies at a very affordable price.

  • Baking Supplies
  • Aldi vs. Walmart Prices: Baking Supplies Item Aldi Price Walmart Price All-Purpose Flour, 5 lb. 1.15.22 Brown Sugar, 32 oz. 1.29 1.54 Baking Soda, 16 oz. .50 .82 Baking Powder, 8.1 oz. .99 1.12 Chocolate Chips, Semi-Sweet, 12 oz. 1.69 1.74
  • Aldi has a great price on essential baking ingredients, which is something you should appreciate if you are a frequent baker.

    This is the best item. It’s 32 cents less than Walmart’s price for baking soda, which costs 50 cents.

  • Eggs and Dairy
  • It’s important that you remember that dairy prices are subject to fluctuation. Aldi beats Walmart every time, with the exception of a 1-cent difference for butter.

    For more information, see the related posts: Aldi vs Lidl when Aldi restocks and best times to shop Aldi. Also, Aldi Trader Joe’s if Aldi has it. And finally, how to shop Aldi.

  • Conclusion
  • Aldi might not always be cheaper than Walmart. However, that should not discourage customers. Aldi will not charge you more per item if you aren’t cooking a meal with seafood, but you won’t notice a significant difference in the long-term.

    Walmart stays competitive, though, with their Great Value store brand, and if you also need non-grocery items – office supplies, clothes, video games – you won’t do too badly to just make the one stop at your local Walmart Supercenter.

    Aldi’s Is Cheaper Than Walmart

    Aldi and Walmart both offer store brand products at a lower price than the name brands. Aldi however is a bit more affordable. The package from Walmart does include five more bags than Aldi, but the cost per bag is still the deciding factor.Nov 24, 2021

    Aldi is it really that much cheaper?

    All products in the shop are cheap. In fact, there are quite a few Aldi items that can be more expensive than the rest, as Reader’s Digest points. Aldi has a limited supply of brand-name items, which means that you will pay more. Sep 14, 2021

    Walmart’s Price Does Aldi Match?

    Walmart will price match competitors ads. This is a bonus that I want to mention. You should bring your Aldi Ad into Walmart. They will price match it at Walmart. October 11, 2020

    Are Aldi Prices Going Up?

    These rates have risen sharply since the pandemic. You can see that prices have risen sharply since the outbreak of the pandemic. They were already 3.7% cheaper in 2020 than 2019 for the same period. Dec 4, 2021
