    I love Aldi! You cannot beat their prices. Although I am not impressed with their produce freshness or selection. Maybe it is just the stores around me, but the fruit/veggies always seem to turn brown much faster.

    I buy my produce elsewhere.

    But everything else, outside of cleaning supplies and paper products, I buy at Aldoi

    I love their prices as well, but the Aldi stores around me have nasty looking food. It might look OK in the store, but within 2 days the produce is bad, the bread gets moldy, etc. I guess it depends on where you live, but around here they are not that great.

    I am in Pennsylvania. I have been really lucky with the produce, have never had an issue with it being gross or going bad quickly, thank goodness.

    i LOVE aldi. I don't buy anything not fresh though there, for the most part.

    99 cent pinapples this week!

    I still have a freezer full of strawberries and blueberries for pancakes and smoothies from when they were 99c each this summer!

    We get red skin potatoes there too for about $2 a big bag.

    Their milk here is only $1.70 a gal too! and eggs .49! They are local too and hormone free.

    I would rather throw myself in a bunch of stinging nettles than shop at Aldi.

    Here in the UK it aint that great. I am always scared of leaving my car in an Aldi car park just incase their sales assistants try and rob it.

    I think you guys have higher standards over there, hence why it might be better.

    Most people who shop in Aldi over here have webbed feet and are called Bert.

    You have to save it to a photo hosting site. Get the link and put the tags in lowercase.

    I used to go to Aldi's all the time when I lived in Missouri. I googled it but seems they don't have Aldi's in Washington State. :grumble: Rats!
