Looking for help? Our FAQ section has answers to the most frequently asked questions about the ALDI Big Bags, orders, shipping and more.

What is the ALDI Big Bag?

On Tuesday, Sept. 16, ALDI is launching a limited-edition “ALDI Big Bag”, an oversized, reusable grocery bag – because bigger savings mean bigger hauls, and bigger hauls mean you need a bigger bag. 

Just how big are the savings at ALDI? A family of four can save $321 a month by shopping its aisles.*

Why is ALDI giving them away?

Because bigger savings mean bigger hauls, and bigger hauls mean our shoppers need a bigger bag. ALDI is giving away the ALDI Big Bag to prove a simple point: your money goes further when you shop the lowest prices of any national grocer.  

It might be a metaphor for massive savings, but the ALDI Big Bag is literally big enough to unload your grocery haul in just one trip.

What is the size of the bag?

The bag is 36 inches long, 22 inches wide and 16 inches deep. Translation? That’s bigger than a carry-on suitcase, about the size of an aquarium tank and three times the size of a common paper grocery bag.

How did you determine the size of the Big Bag?

An average grocery bag holds about $45 to $50 worth of food. We did the math and scaled up to create a bag big enough to hold $321 worth of groceries — the exact amount a family of four can save each month by shopping at ALDI.  

The massive size of the ALDI Big Bag is visual proof of how much more shoppers can get (and save) when they shop the low-price leader.

How did you determine the $321?

The $321 comes straight from the 2025 ALDI Price Leadership Report, which shows a family of four can save nearly $4,000 a year by shopping at ALDI. That’s real money — and we wanted to make it feel real. Most families budget month to month, so we broke that annual number down to create an oversized bag that’s a visual metaphor of all you can get and save.

Is the ALDI Big Bag going to be available in stores?

The ALDI Big Bags are available online only at ALDIBigBag.com while supplies last.
