Grill More, Spend Less: Aldi Cuts Prices in Minnesota

Summer in Minnesota means firing up the grill, packing picnic baskets, and gathering with friends and family. Those get-togethers are more expensive than ever because of the rising cost of groceries.

You've likely felt the sting at the checkout, and probably heard the news that summer favorites like burgers, steaks, and hot dogs are pricier due to a thin U.S. cattle herd.

Thankfully, the cheapest grocery store in Minnesota is stepping up to offer some relief.

It's no secret that Aldi is known for its low prices. In fact, Delish recently crowned them the cheapest grocery store in the entire U.S. This company, which started in 1961, has become the country's fastest-growing grocery chain, now with over 2,000 stores in 39 states, including 80 right here in Minnesota.

Jason Hart, the CEO of ALDI, said, "While customers may see higher prices at other retailers, we’re working hard to unlock even more value for our shoppers, just in time for summer’s lineup of holidays and gatherings where food takes center stage. It’s another way we’re doubling down on our commitment to help shoppers fill their carts with great products for less."
