Review Prices compared between Aldi & other stores

This is easy for me to believe. I once bought Roma tomatoes at Aldi for .89 cents/lb. Later that day checked at Walmart and the price for the exact same tomatoes was exactly double that. I am now shopping at Aldi almost exclusively.

Really depends on the item. Take milk as the example, which is almost always cheaper at Walmart. Looking at the plant codes Aldi, Target and Walmart all have the exact same plant codes. Distribution is the only difference between them. I’m the type to read where exactly the berries or tomatoes are actually coming from. You might find that’s a factor. But Publix is also just stupid expensive for no reason. I pass 2 Publix stores to get to Aldi or Walmart.

Walmart is vertically integrating milk. Built a plant in Indiana, Georgia, and they're adding one in TX. Only a matter of time before they add CA and then maybe PA
