Aldi shopper Daizie Allen praised the online grocer after finding eggs at a huge discount.
“I swear by Aldi,” she raved on Facebook publish from Monday shared with the ALDI Aisle of Shame Community group.
The client paired her post with a “big sale” image.
A dozen Goldhen Grade A Large Brown Eggs have been reduced to just 99 cents from the original price of $3.55.
Her post received more than 6,000 reactions and hundreds of comments, with many shoppers weighing in on the best type of egg.
“Grazed eggs are the best. Free range doesn’t necessarily mean outdoorsy,” wrote one shopper.

The original user eventually updated his post to respond to the comments.
“I am aware of the differences between conventional, cage-free, free-range, and pasture-raised animals,” she wrote.
“As much as I would like to buy pasture-raised eggs, unfortunately my budget doesn’t allow it, especially when we literally consume at least a dozen eggs a day.”
The Aldi shopper broke down the math, explaining that she purchased seven dozen free-range eggs for a week, totaling $6.93 thanks to the sale.
If she had purchased pasture-raised eggs at Aldi, as many suggested, she noted it would have cost $4.39 per dozen, for a total of $30.73 for seven dozen eggs.
“That’s a big difference,” she wrote.
The US Sun compared Aldi’s prices to Walmart’s, and shopping at the latter grocery store would have cost the customer even more.
A dozen large organic free-range chestnuts eggs at Walmart it’s about $5.18 — more than five times the price of Aldi’s 99-cent-off free-range eggs.
If she had bought seven boxes at Walmart to last her a week, the shopper would have spent $36.26 on eggs alone — almost $30 more than her bargain price of $6.93.

EGG REPRESSION
Many buyers took to the comments section and warned the customer to check the expiration date.
They suspected the eggs were heavily discounted because they were close to expiring.
“I think the expiration date is close. Ordinary cheap eggs are more than that,” said one customer.
Another shopper estimated the eggs were a month or more old when they arrived at Aldi.
“There’s no telling how old they really are, especially when they’re so cheap. I would do a float test on these eggs,” they said.
Others came to the defense of the original buyer.
“If someone eats almost a dozen eggs a day, they know they will use them before the expiration date. And remember, expiration date is not the same as how long something is good,” commented one shopper.
“I bet the lady who got the deal knows how to read and knows when to determine when something isn’t good for her and her family. I say, hello to you for finding this deal.”
Other Aldi shoppers weren’t as pleased with their discount grocery purchases.
A customer was left “disgusted” after finding a dressing used on a popular dessert.
Another customer “nearly choked” on a metal wire placed in a breakfast item.
