Aldi grocery store - favorite foods!

i LOVE Aldi! I always make it a point to stop at one whenever I'm in Dallas. They have THE BEST produce selection (fruits & vegetables) at very competitive prices. The city I live in is in the process of building one. I can't wait til they open!

I buy a lot of stuff at aldi. Their Ranch dressing is great as is there bagged salads. There is so much there I love. I do not like their standard coffee.

I have never been to Aldi's. Alot of ppl have said that their produce and meat is the low end. Have you guys bought any of that stuff there? whats good and what should i stay away from?

I don't eat red meat so I am not sure on that but their turkey is Jenny 0 so it is exactly what is in the other stores but for a fraction of the price.

Their chicken seems to be pretty good as well.

Aldi is my favorite.

I love Clancy's veggie chips there, they also had their version of popchips which were BETTER. They have bags of almonds that are huge for less than 5 dollars. They have artisan/organic salad tubs for 1.49. I just bought some Turkey Kielbasa there to go with sauerkraut, only 1.99. I got three bulbs of garlic for .62 cents, cucumbers .49 cents, etc. It really is worth the trip.

The fit & Active brand is awesome. They have a lean cuisine type thing in the frozen section, with pumpkin stuffed ravoli with squash and asparagus. It's delish.

Aldi's rocks!!!!!!!

Just made a trip to Aldi last night--i LOVE the Belmont Coconut frozen fruit bars (1.79 for 6). Also purchased the premium mixed nuts, low-fat cottage cheese, and eggs :):) They normally have salmon burgers (so delicious); it's a GR8T plc to shop and what most ppl dnt know is if you're familiar with TRADER JOE'S, they are owned by sm ownder so a lot of what you purchase there is what you are able to purchase at Aldi but for less (a seasoned "smart shopper" shared that with me)

For some stuff I like Aldi, and for some stuff I don't. Some minimally processed shelf stable stuff is ok. There isn't anything there I'm in love with though. I feel like there is too much processed stuff, which I don't buy a lot of, and not enough fresh products. I also find the selection often to be too limiting. I, unlike, many of the other posters have purchased products that I didn't like, most recently it was a brand of lunch meat.

I wish the produce at our local stores was half as good as what a lot of people in this thread are describing. Our locations (2 of them) have 1 two-side rack of produce. Some of it is ok, as in not spoiling, but some of it is. The selection of produce is usually limited though resulting in an extra stop for 1 or 2 ingredients.

I'm a guy and one of my pet peeves is multiple stops for shopping. 1 list, 1 store. Get in, get out, go home. I don't want to waste an entire afternoon going to 4 different grocery stores. With coupons and other store's generics I don't find the price differences to be all that significant.

In my area, they have the best produce. I do think that the meat is below standards in this area. Great spot for lunch box treats for the kids, also.

Huge, huge, HUGE ALDI fan here. Their meats are not the best selection, but what they do have, they have good cuts. I really like their 80/20 ground. It's very consistent.

My understanding is that their Millville Cereal is made by General Mills. I can vouch for several of the itms whouwannab listed as excellent.

I love their 100 calories packs, their cheese, & their produce. They have really good ranch dip that I eat with my carrots. Not sure the calorie value.

I love shopping at Aldi too. Their pizzas are a steal and actually pretty good. Love the greek yogurt, fresh fruits and veggies. I like the diversity of items like from Gremany. It's a great place to shop on a budget. However, label checking still isn't a bad idea. I have found some of the canned goods are very high and sodium and some items high sugar content. But that's everywhere, just have to read the nutrition label.

maybe it's already been said - I didn't read through all 5 pages, but Aldi is owned by the same people as Trader Joe's. Which is why they have a lot of natural products that don't contain HFCS and all that extra junk. Sure, there are still a lot of things that do, but I love that their breads and bagels are HFCS free!

Love Aldi's for produce. We have several stores to choose from around here and all of them have a good selection. Milk is a great buy also. Cant get everything here but pretty close!

I love love love our local Aldi store. I feel like there we get a lot more and better foods than we can at any of the other grocery stores, and their produce tends to be a lot better than what we can get for less. I just wish they had more selection produce wise! I love their Friendly Farms yogurt, especially the blueberry, and their version of Honey Nut Cheerios tastes exactly the same as the name brand. Also, sometimes you can catch name brand items there on sale, like Tolberone chocolate bars.

I love Aldi.. their produce is great. A lot of times you can find oranges and pineapples for steals. I love their artisan lettuce and pack of multicolored peppers too. Their fit and active line is great too-I love their greek yogurt (their pineapple one is delish and 0% fat while Chobani is 2%), their s'mores rice cakes, fruit strips (love the Mango), light string cheese, jalapeno havarti cheese, hummus, ravioli, tortellini, frozen chicken breasts, frozen fish, dark roasted coffee, sandwich thins, bacon wrapped filets. Also, their prices on oats, butter, and vanilla extract really can't be beat.
