HAVE you ever walked around Aldi and wondered why there are so many prices ending with 99p? Well, one woman has, and decided to ask if anyone knew the reason behind the pricing choices. In the comments section on a video Aldi employee Dylan shared about the new arrivals in the store, she asked : "Why does everything end in .99, is it a marketing thing?" "It’s called Psychological Pricing ," someone else said.
"Makes it seem cheaper than it is!" Indeed, as Dylan panned the camera around the middle aisles of the store, each and every price ended with 99p.

Items on offer in Aldi this week include organisational staples such as glue sticks and family planners, as well as an adorable dry erase 'memory board' that's perfect to mark the new school year. At the end of the video, Dylan revealed that one of his future clips would look at the new health and beauty products in store.
