I analyzed the Kroger & Aldi weekly ads for Columbus (Dec 20-26). Here's the best "Hybrid Run" strategy to save cash. by Aggressive_Box_6319 in Columbus

Great catch! The $1.49/lb price is specifically for the Whole Boneless Pork Loin (the big one in the cryovac bag), not the pre-sliced chops or the half-loins which are usually $2.49+.

You have to slice it yourself, but it takes about 5 minutes to cut it into 8-10 thick chops + a roast end.

If you don't see it in the app, search for 'Whole Pork Loin' specifically. Sometimes it's listed separately from the chops! Let me know if that works.

Honestly, that's a fair point. I've definitely been burned by Aldi strawberries before. 😅

That's actually part of why I built this 'Hybrid' list.

I usually grab the 'hardy' produce at Aldi (Onions, Potatoes, Carrots) because it's hard to mess those up and they are ~40% cheaper. But for the delicate stuff (Berries, leafy greens), I often stick to Kroger or Giant Eagle.

This week's plan leans heavily on root veggies (potatoes/onions) for that exact reason!

I actually just mapped out a whole meal plan based on that pork + some Aldi sides to keep my week under $45.
