I shopped for holiday groceries at Aldi and Trader Joe’s. Only one store left me feeling festive — and it wasn’t my go-to budget spot.

Must read

  • I’m a loyal Aldi shopper, but I wanted to see how its holiday groceries compared to Trader Joe’s.
  • I found plenty of sweet treats and snacks at both stores, and Aldi’s prices were great.
  • However, when it came to a festive atmosphere, Trader Joe’s blew it out of the water.

Every winter, Aldi and Trader Joe’s roll out an array of seasonal groceries that get shoppers (myself included) excited for the season.

Aldi is usually my go-to grocery store, but I love stocking up on festive snacks and treats, so I decided to visit both to compare their prices, variety, and overall atmosphere.

Although both chains had seasonal items on display, only one truly delivered the holiday spirit.
