1/2 gallon of milk has gone from 99c to $1.82 ...  bag of flour from 1.48 to 1.84(ish) you're out of powdered sugar , which luckily hasn't gone up yet and you've moved around most things in the store I am NOT feeling the love  |

Not sure which Aldi you shop at but I found the one in Chicago Ridge mall is way less expensive than the ones in Orland.
I do prefer the one on 131st & LaGrange though.

Bags of flour at my store have always been super high that is why I buy the flour at Costco.
It depends on where you live but milk prices are so different from one Aldi to the next.

that's the thing ! I usually go to the one right by SuperWM in Orland... The 1/2 gallon milk has been 99c there for a long time... and grandma likes the smaller size better than the gallon... it's been perfect... but not at almost double the price ... SHEESH Other things have been cheaper there forever too... like the flour... it's been 1.48 for a long time... i'm sure because of being so close to WM, but last night, i was unpleasantly surprised ... especially the milk... grandma was NOT a happy camper ... and that is NOT a good thing how much per lb does the flour work out to at Costco? I've never wanted to mess with a BIG bag of flour  I've been to the Chicago Ridge one a couple of times, but it's too far to be practical... i'm surprised their prices are more reasonable... I'm just about half way between the 131st and 159th one... and well, i guess the one west on 143rd too, but 143rd is a torn up M E S S right now, so i try to avoid going west... I've been going to one by WM 90% of the time, because they're always had the better prices, but not now  |

I think the flour is $7.xx for 2 10 pounds bags. So about $1.75 per 5 pounds if I'm doing the math correctly.

Thanks, fuzzy! Yeah, so at $1.48 like the 5lb bag was at my Aldi for a long time, it was a better deal  At 1.84 like i think it went up to, it's still pretty close ... although I could charge it over at Costco and make a little bit of AmEx money  I think I used over 15 pounds this week.... 200 cookies for a swim club party, 3 dozen Pikachus, 65 graduation and 60 baseball 1st birthday PLUSSSS the ones I want to bring to my block party  |

Well cookie, I can tell you that I am HORRIBLY disappointed w/aldi myself. Years ago they used to actually be cheap now, forget it...and I live WAY North! So ITA w/you about all of the prices. I have pretty much stopped shopping there since I can usually get store brands as cheap as aldi brands and don't have to wait in long lines to do so.

Cookie they have the industrial size bags of flour too that might be even cheaper. I haven't checked the prices out on those in a long time. I will check tomm when I go to Costco for you.
At our Aldi flour is about $2.xx. Super high because they are right on Harlem Ave. and the prices are jacked up.

Industrial size !!! OH MY... not sure if I wanna deal with those LOL, but, yes, please and thank you for checking the price if you remember It might be like powdered sugar for me... even if i find bigger bags cheaper/lb than my 2lb bag price, I probably won't buy them... I don't want to give up the convenience of the pre-measured 2 lb size... perfect for a batch of icing  YIKES! That is $$$$$ for flour ! Thanks, kewponaddict... good to know i'm not alone |

25 pound bags Cookie I see people buy them all the time. I never have. I like my 10 lb bags that I pour into a Rubbermaid container made for flour/sugar.

I may have to reconsider if my Aldi doesn't fix, i.e. LOWER its prices back to what they were  |
