This oldie but baddie is back…

Every so many months, it seems like there’s a new grocery store coupon scam circulating on Facebook or Twitter.

It last happened to Aldi about 10 months ago and now it's happening again.

The discount grocer has a brand-new warning that the scam artists are it again circulating a fake coupon in its name…

Hey ALDI fans! Looks like another fake ALDI coupon is making its way around the internet. We’re sorry for any confusion,...

Aldi didn’t include an image of the bogus coupon in their Facebook post. But we’re willing to bet it looks very similar to past iterations of this scam, like this one below:

Remember, Aldi’s prices are so low that they’re already a steal. You don’t need an impostor coupon to help you save money at this store!
