Join us as we go grocery shopping at ALDI for the first time! We were visiting my home town in NC and they recently opened a brand new ALDI. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to see how cheap the groceries at ALDI are and bring you with us for our first look at ALDI food prices. Stay to the end and you'll see everything we purchased along with what this shopping trip cost in total. Let us know in the comments if you normally shop at ALDI and how these prices compare to your local store in the UK.

    Scary how everything is still twice the price of stuff in the UK.
  • @fishtigua
    The own-brand stuff is where the bargains are at. Forget brands like Kelloggs or Lays, get the generic goods, it's probably made in the same factory to the same recipe. Good to see you go for the organic, better quality.
  • I've just been to Aldi and bought 23 items for £26.38. Mostly salad stuff and cakes for my dad. At 82, he deserves cake! 😁🍰🍅
  • I'am flabbergasted at how expensive these goods are in America today. I started visiting America 40 years ago and it was always at least half the price of groceries in the UK.
  • Btw, Aldi in Germany has replaced most plastic packaging with paper, especially with greengrocery.
  • @bsb11kat25
    wow, that Whole brown bread with seeds is very expensive! equates to £4.09 in uk! Tesco same is £1.30 ($1.65)
  • Both Aldi and Lidl in the UK aren't as cheap as they used to be but they are still much cheaper than the Aldi in your video. Also, both Aldi and Lidl are famous for their 'middle aisles' which have limited time offers not just on food but on everything from garden furniture and tools to canoes and camping equipment.

    Frightening prices , i had to hide behind the sofa lol , Sophia is a legend 🤣🤣👍👍
  • @Wintermaus
    Germany here☝🏻🇩🇪 That's very expensive compared to Aldi here. Wouldn't pay more than a total of 40-45Euro for what you purchased. Interesting comparison. Seems everything is bigger in the US. Even the price of basic grocery items.
  • @deejayjomo
    if I remember right, in the US they also add the tax on at the checkout, where in UK it includes the tax on the price tag
  • My son lives in Maryland & when we travel from the UK to visit him I just about have a heart attack in the supermarkets - 2 to 3 times more expensive than the UK 😮.
  • @stephanie.r382
    Haha! I haven't seen Tide laundry detergent here in the UK since the '70s !
  • @gmdhargreaves

  • @zoeclark5790

  • @suechris9610
