ALDI Helps Serve Up Your Holiday Meals for Less Review [CLOSED Giveaway]

by Heather

I was introduced to ALDI almost 17 years ago when we were a small family of three living on $15,000 a year. I wasn’t much of a couponer and I found it was the best place to buy all of our family groceries to consistently save the most money. We are now a family of six and although our annual income is considerably more, I still do a lot of our grocery shopping at ALDI.

With the holiday sneaking up on us, ALDI has expanded their seasonal selection. Award-winning wine, fine European chocolate, whole turkeys, toys and gourmet cheeses – the ALDI holiday catalog offers everything you need to host the best holiday season yet – without going over budget.

Known for its premium exclusive brands, ALDI offers more than 1,400 of the most frequently purchased grocery items for up to 50 percent less than traditional supermarkets. Customers can get all the holiday essentials for less, including everything from appetizers to main courses, side dishes and desserts, making holiday meals and family gatherings warm and memorable. During the holiday season, ALDI stores also carry an additional line-up of more than 100 seasonal items at unbeatable prices.

There’s no need to visit multiple stores to complete your holiday spread. ALDI now offers a nice selection of award-winning wine and beer as well. Add a side of fancy cheeses and ALDI’s got you covered from beginning to end.

Visit the website to find an ALDI store near you.
