Aldi, which has two locations in Lafayette, has announced its summer price cuts are back.
Aldi’s move comes as about two-thirds of Americans (67%) said they remained very concerned about food and consumer goods prices, according to a Pew Research Center survey of 3,589 adults in April.
Here’s what to know about the summer savings.
How many items will be on sale at Aldi this summer?
The discount grocery chain said it will be reducing prices on nearly 25% of its products – more than 400 items, including meat and produce – at its more than 2,400 stores.
How much of a discount is Aldi offering this summer?
Prices will be reduced as much as 33% on the 400+ products over the summer, Aldi chief commercial officer Scott Patton told USA TODAY. Nearly one in four households shop at Aldi stores, he said, citing Circana data.
“Summer’s for grilling out, camping, concerts, and quality time with friends and family – not stressing over grocery bills,” he said. “That’s why we decided to offer even lower prices on ALDI favorites all summer long. Our unique business model with smaller store footprints, 90% private brands and strong supplier partnerships means we can deliver real savings where other grocers can’t.”
When do Aldi’s summer savings start?
Aldi’s price cuts began June 5 and will be valid through Labor Day.
The price cuts will likely save shoppers about $100 million – similar to the amount of money shoppers collectively saved with its reductions last year and more than the $60 million saved in 2023.
