Its not too good to be true.

Their meat is just as good as other grocery stores at a fraction of the price.

There are so many reasons to love Aldi If youre a regular shopper, youre no stranger to the amazing Wednesday meat deals.

Pork chops for 2.99 a pound Chuck steak for under 20 From budget-friendly brisket to reasonably-priced ribs, you know you can look for top cuts of meat that wont empty your wallet.

The Fresh Meat Special Buy deals almost seem too good to be true, causing us to wonder how does Aldi make the meat so affordable 1.

The Prosciutto Is Incognito One secret behind the crazy-affordable meat is the stores lack of name-brand products.

When other stores offer Tyson chicken tenders, theyre paying for the nuggets and the brand name.

Aldi buys comparable products without choosing the one youve heard of before, which leads to some much lower prices.

The meat that they sell is the same quality that you would find in other grocery stores, just without that name-brand label.

Low Staffing Low Prices The second secret has less to do with the meat itselfand more with the stores unique efficiency.

While most supermarkets are buzzing hubs of cashiers, baggers, stockers and managers, the average Aldi store only has six to eight employees working at a time.

That means that each person has to multitask by doing various jobs around the store, but it also means Aldi uses less of their budget for wages so you can use less of your budget on surging steak prices.

You Save When You Buy Local Its Aldis goal to bring fresh local products to their stores.

When the meat comes from a regional farm, a company has to pay way less for transportation costs than a typical grocery chain.

We personally love Aldis commitment to staying green and local.

Here are ten more reasons why Aldi is so cheap.

Beware, though: The meat disappears fast Dont wait until the end of the day to shop or it might be goneafter all, Aldi has smaller stores than most grocery chains and will only carry a limited supply of each item.

I like to buy early and shop in bulk, freezing the extra servings for later weeks when the deals arent quite as good.

Whether you eat the pork chops now or later, youll feel confident about taking advantage of the meat specials, knowing that youre saving money and still purchasing top-of-the-line cuts.

And who knows Now that youre aware of the meat special buy deals on Wednesdays, maybe youll be shopping there Aldi time Popular Videos Originally Published: July 16, 2018 Emma B.
