I scan the grocery advertisements inserted into the newspaper each week to see what’s on sale. I’m usually shocked to see the price difference on food at Aldi and Publix.
Here are 10 items you can buy at Aldi for 75 percent less than advertised sale prices at Publix starting Jan. 24. Plus, in most instances, Aldi’s sizes are larger than those at Publix, which makes items an even better value.

While Publix is renown for its freshness, selection and customer service, Aldi was named the 2018 Retailer of the Year by Supermarket News. The fast-growing grocer’s prices and its high-quality store-brand products were cited as the main reasons for its selection for the second time since 2015.
