Aldi produce values

I went to our local Aldi store yesterday and found the produce "aisle" as stocked as I had ever seen it. The refrigerated salads were along the wall in the cold case, but all the rest of the produce was set out, without refrigeration.

Here is a rundown of what Aldi was doing with their produce values:
Bananas: 35 cents per pound; merchandised in bag
10-pound bag of russets: $2.29 from Del Monte
3-pound bag of onions: $1.89
5-pound baking potatoes: $2.29
5 pound bag of red potatoes: $1.99
20 ounce shrink wrapped broccoli: $1.29
Iceberg lettuce: 89 cents each
Cauliflower: $1.49 each
Cabbage: $1.19 each
Celery: 99 cents each
8 ounce mushrooms: $1.19
Avocados: 69 each (Mexico)
20-ounce packaged romas $1.29
Seedless watermelon: $3.49 each
Green seedless grapes: $2.98 per 2 pounds
Red seedless grapes; $2.98 for 2-pounds
Strawberries: 99 cents per pound
Cantaloupes: 99 cents each
20-ounce Sweet corn : $1.69 for 20 ounces
Peaches and nectarines: $2.49 for 2-pound clamshells
Pink lady apples: $2.29 for three pound bag
Granny smith: $1.69 for 3-pound bag


Here is one retailer that doesn't claim to have the best produce in town, and they don't. But for families on a budget, you can get a lot of bang for your buck at Aldi.
