Aldi Shoppers Discover Secret Code to Unlock Freshest Produce
A recent online video has revealed a simple yet effective method for consumers to ensure they are purchasing the freshest fruits and vegetables at Aldi supermarkets. The tip, shared by a finance and money-saving content creator, highlights a four-digit code printed on produce packaging that indicates its packing date. According to the video, the first two digits of the code represent the week of the year, while the last two digits denote the day of that specific week. For instance, a code like '3406' signifies that the item was packed in the 34th week of the year on the sixth day (Saturday). Shoppers can use this information to compare items and select those with higher code numbers, indicating a more recent packing date and thus greater freshness. This method empowers consumers to make more informed choices, potentially reducing food waste and optimizing their grocery budgets.
