Some customers only gradually notice an Aldi measure that the discounter introduced in 2019.

Or not at all until today.

Munich – Do so many supermarket customers check their receipts carefully after shopping?

Probably not.

You should actually: After all, mistakes can happen.

And it doesn't hurt to think about how much money you spent on what.

Aldi fruit knot bag costs one cent - customer discovers it with a delay and is not alone

After a visit to Aldi, a Twitter user took a close look.

And then made a discovery: the fruit knot bags cost one cent at the discounter.

“Do you really pay a cent for a plastic fruit/vegetable bag at Aldi?” she asks the public.

"To be honest, I've never really paid attention to it before.

We rarely use them.

At most me when I go shopping during the lunch break.”

"Bioplastic knot bag" can be read on the receipt.

And she's not the first and only one to notice.

"Guys, I went shopping at Aldi today," wrote another Twitter user back in 2020, "and I'm just looking at the note and it actually says 'Fruit node bag 1ct'" They charge a cent for this crap plastic bag, where I mean got tangerines in.

WTF?”

And then there was the radio maker from North Rhine-Westphalia, where Aldi didn't say "obst node bag" next to the amount, but "1 cent", which caused all sorts of confusion.

This probably also means that customers only gradually notice that the thin plastic bag costs a cent.

Aldi had already introduced the measure in mid-2019, as can still be read on the Aldi Süd and Aldi Nord websites.

The one cent should probably also tempt customers to do without the bags.

"The most sustainable is the packaging that doesn't exist," said Julia Adou, head of the Corporate Responsibility department at Aldi Süd.

The tangerines can also simply be placed loosely in the shopping trolley - especially since you peel them at home anyway.

Aldi customers are facing a price shock these days, which goes well beyond one cent.
