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!

What’s even better than using your credit card at ALDI? Using a gift certificate at ALDI — so read on for your chance to win. 🙂
