If you’re a fan of shopping at ALDI, you’ll be excited to learn these insider tips and tricks from employees who work for the discount supermarket giant. Did you know about these?

1. Choose ALDI brands

This one might seem like an obvious hack, but these products can end up saving you 50 per cent compared to similar big brand products sold at larger grocery stores.

Many of the ALDI-exclusive lines are award-winning and designed to meet your every day needs.

2. Follow the signs

The signs are there for a reason. Follow them properly and you’ll be able to shop quickly, finding everything you need with ease. There are different price labels for items, which will let you know you’re onto a deal. Some of these include ALDI Finds and Red Hot Specials.

3. Ask the employees questions

Most ALDI employees shop at ALDI, so they’re privy to the deals as well as what’s good and what’s not so good. Don’t be afraid to ask for their opinions, as they’ve most likely tried what you’re asking about.

4. ALDI’s business model works in your favour

ALDI has shorter hours, less staff and displays products on the shelves in their original cardboard boxes. All of these little tips and tricks throughout the stores, including you having to bag your own items, are designed for maximum efficiency in the store and allows ALDI to pass on the savings to you.

5. Speed through the checkout  

As ALDI products have multiple barcodes on their packaging, this allows ALDI staff to scan your products very fast. Also, ALDI produce is also prepackaged to help cut back the time you spend in line. Often, you’ll find that they’re scanning faster than you can unload your grocery cart.

6. Be satisfied with your ALDI-exclusive products or they’ll replace it

ALDI offer a “Twice as Nice Guarantee”, which is designed to replace any product that you might not be satisfied with, as well as refund your money. Simply bring back the product packaging, any unused product and the receipt to the store manager and they’ll take care of it.

7. Go on Wednesday and Saturday for special deals

ALDI Special Buys allow customers to get a range of grocery products, as well as homewares like TVs or furniture, at a discounted price. These Special Buys happen twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the discounts offered. 

However, if you’re after an in-demand product, stock is limited and varies depending on your ALDI store, so make sure you get a spot in line to get the item you want.
