ALDI now takes credit cards and a giveaway to celebrate!
This giveaway is sponsored by ALDI. All opinions in this post, however, are my own.
In case you missed the big news: ALDI is now accepting credit cards! You can use your Visa, Discover, MasterCard, or American Express card at all U.S. ALDI stores nationwide as of March 1, 2016.
March 1, 2016 – We heard you, ALDI fans! You’ve been asking about credit cards for a while now, and we’ve decided to finally make Simply Smarter Shopping… simpler. Starting today, you can swipe your way to savings. And don’t worry – we’re still dedicated to keeping your grocery cart full and your wallet even fuller. Our acceptance of credit cards will have no impact on the prices you pay for the ALDI products you love.
I paid with my Visa card at ALDI for the first time last week, and it almost felt naughty, lol. But what great news, especially for those of us who bank credit card rewards or don't like to carry cash. Options, it's good to have options!

I used a cc the other day actually. And told my friend today she can use cc's...she didn't know.
I haven't yet, but I certainly would! I like the option of just carrying a credit card if I don't want to lug my purse in the store!
I used to shop at Aldi regularly when my children were younger, but I haven't been there in a few years. My youngest daughter re-discovered Aldi a few months ago, and it's now her go-to grocery store. I've been so impressed with the deals she's been getting, that I've been planning to make a shopping trip there soon.
Finally, looking forward to racking up the rewards points!
I think this is great, I just hope we don't see an increase in their prices.
I am happy to say that I did use my credit card at Aldi. It was great to have the option,
Haven't used the credit card yet - went yesterday and forgot they took credit cards till we got there! will try to remember for next time LOL. Thanks for the contest and all the wonderful updates/news/recipes
That is great that they take credit cards now. My mom and I used cash before and had a hard time keeping track of our running total, and didn't want to be embarrassed at the checkout if we didn't bring enough money. I think we both will be using CC at Aldi now. 🙂
I haven't yet used my credit card but I'm so glad they finally changed that! Now we need to see if they can start accepting coupons...?
I have not used a credit card at Aldi since they started taking them. It is such a relief I do not have to worry if I have money in my wallet or if I do how much & calculate how much I can buy. It definitely takes the worry out of my shopping trip to Aldi in the future!
