In response to mounting inflation pressures, Aldi announces a significant price drop on more than 250 items for the summer season.
Dave Rinaldo, President of Aldi U.S., emphasized the importance of providing greater discounts during these times, stating, "With more experts warning of persistent inflation, the time was right to deliver even greater discounts on our already low prices for the second year in a row."
The price reductions will cover a wide range of seasonal essentials, including picnic necessities, BBQ staples, travel-friendly snacks, and healthier food options, as highlighted in a press release by the company.
Rinaldo expressed Aldi's commitment to ensuring affordability, stating, "We don’t want food prices to hold people back from getting together with friends and family or spending time outdoors this season."
Aldi aims to save shoppers approximately $100 million with this initiative, nearly doubling the amount saved last year when a similar campaign was launched. In 2023, shoppers collectively saved over $60 million, according to Aldi's reports.
Some of the items slated for reduced prices this summer include:
Specially Selected French Baguette: Previously $1.59, now $1.49
Specially Selected Macarons: Previously $4.59, now $4.19
Vitalife Assorted Kombucha: Previously $2.39, now $2.29
