East Rutherford NJ, as many retailers brace for potential summer price hikes due to tariffs, Aldi is bucking the trend by slashing prices on more than 400 items across its 2,400+ U.S. stores with 64 in New Jersey including Wayne, Totowa, Lodi and East Rutherford . Â The deep discounts come just in time for the summer season, and Aldi says the move will save its shoppers an estimated $100 million.
đź›’ Aldi Lowers Prices on 25% of Products
The discount grocery giant announced that roughly 25% of its in-store products will feature reduced prices for summer, ranging from:
-
Fresh grilling meats
-
Organic produce
-
Pantry staples
-
Summer seasonal favorites
Notably, Atlantic salmon portions are now priced at $8.69 per pound, offering a budget-friendly option for healthy summer meals.
đź’¬ Aldi CEO: “Unlocking More Value”
“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,” said Aldi U.S. CEO Jason Hart. “It’s another way we’re doubling down on our commitment to help shoppers fill their carts with great products for less.”
The Illinois-based Aldi U.S. operation is owned by Aldi SĂĽd in Essen, Germany. The company also plans to expand with over 225 new store openings this year, further growing its reach across the U.S.
🏪 Aldi Not Alone in Price Drops
Other grocery chains are also jumping on the price-cutting bandwagon:
-
Save Mart Companies, based in Modesto, CA, slashed prices on over 4,000 grocery items across its Save Mart and Lucky stores as of April.
-
AmazonFresh, Amazon’s grocery chain, has added prominent in-store signs such as “Low prices. Every aisle. Every day.” to emphasize its commitment to affordability.
Amazon spokesperson Molly McWhinnie told Grocery Dive: “We work to meet or beat competitor prices across the vast selection of products in our stores.”
đź’¸ Shoppers Reap the Benefits
According to Aldi, its shoppers already save $8.3 billion annually—and with the new summer discounts, that number is set to grow. The price cuts are not only a win for consumers looking to stock up for summer barbecues and celebrations, but also a strategic move by Aldi to solidify its position in a highly competitive grocery market.
