ALDI is planning to pass along $100 million in savings through Labor Day by further dropping its prices on more than 250 items.

“ALDI is always looking for ways to help customers save money, but with more experts warning of persistent inflation, the time was right to deliver even greater discounts on our already low prices for the second year in a row,” Dave Rinaldo, President at ALDI U.S, said in a release. “We don’t want food prices to hold people back from getting together with friends and family or spending time outdoors this season.”

This summer, ALDI is reducing costs on already low-priced seasonal products, including picnic necessities, BBQ essentials, travel-ready snacks and better-for-you foods.
