I believe that Aldi's prices are pretty standard everywhere. A lot of the items have their price printed onto the packaging. I bought a 3lb bag of rice last week for $1.19 which was what the shelf price said. But, when I was putting it away, I noticed the packaging was printed with $1.49. At least I am expecting that increase now. The vegetable oil used to be $1.29, then $1.49 and now is $2.29. Those two particular items are going up everywhere, though; not just at Aldi's. I also wondered about the almost double in price of the marshmallows though. Surely, there is no worldwide marshmallow shortage. LOL What is up with that increase? The weird thing is that there are a lot of items that really haven't changed in price, but others have increased in huge amounts.
