Aldi lowers prices on over 250 food items

Aldi will also be cutting prices this summer on around 250 of its items, the grocer said in a release earlier this month.

“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," Dave Rinaldo, president at Aldi U.S., said in a statement.

According to a news release, Aldi will drop prices on seasonal items like "picnic necessities, BBQ essentials, travel-ready snacks and better-for-you foods."

“We don’t want food prices to hold people back from getting together with friends and family or spending time outdoors this season," Rinaldo said.
