Mushrooms
Avocado
Cauliflower
Fresh green beans
Brussels sprouts
Berries
Kiwi
Protein snack bars
Eggs
Coffee creamer
String cheese
Greek yogurt
Sandwich slims
Canned beans
Canned tomatoes
And whatever else looks good for the week9 -

Thanks so much! Would you say their Greek yogurt is as good/ healthy as Fage which is my favorite? It's just so darn expensive so I am trying to find a cheaper version of Fage...

They have several types of yogurt to choose from. Also, their hummus is delicious and much less expensive.6

I love their Greek yogurt, much cheaper also.6

Is their Greek yogurt 0 or 2% and does this have vanilla in it such as artificial flavorings like the Dannon kind? My husband has bought one with the vanilla but I really prefer the natural Greek kind and love the thick consistency of Fage. Would you say this is natural and like Fage if you've ever tried that?

I didn't realize there would be a quiz at the end. I should have studied harder! To answer you, though, Fage isn't my preferred brand of Greek yogurt, so I'm the wrong person to ask how they compare.5 -
I've only been once as the two Aldi's we have here have only been open a short time. I'm due back to check out more of the store as I only had a short time to look last time. I shop a bit like @dianethegeek and would shop for my basics there as well. I'll have to check out their yogurt and a lot of other things on her list next time I go!2

Not even close to Fage.....(IMO) nothing I've ever tried is. BUT, my main focus is getting protein. I'll only buy Fage when it's on sale.
Today at Aldi strawberries were 99 cents. I bought several packages (cut them up) and put them in the freezer.
Bagged lettuce is cheap. I like to buy the "Italian" blend ....mostly romaine. They have Spring Mix too.
Their light popcorn isn't very good. I like more salt.5 -
I find that most things are as good as what they're pretending to be. The muller corners and Gu arent as good but still worth it for the savings.
Favourite items, whatever is on their weekly deal, sporting equipment is much better than I imagined for the money, the recent weights and bike stuff are pretty great2 -
The best pork chops (besides the one from a local farm) I've ever bought were from Aldi. Besides those, I like their green tea and some of their soups (hit or miss - haven't gotten any for a while, so I don't remember which ones were which.2
-
They had very beautiful 13oz boneless rib eye steaks for $5 each.. so amazing. So delicious.. so cheap.3
-
I don't get many opportunities to go to Aldis, none really near me, but I like their black bean salsa and their pay for plastic bags policy.1
-
I go periodically. Mainly the basics. Bottled water, some fruits, bags of salad greens and spinach. Spices and other things that catch my eye.1
-
Love aldis. I got regularly for the produce, Coffee creamer, butter, milk, snacks, beans, trash bags, dish soap, cheese, yogurt (I love the greek honey vanilla)... and more....
I like the Belmont desserts and ice cream. And I often like t try various prepared foods like ravioli and chicken tenders. I really like the mama cozi thin crust pizzas.
There really isn't much there I don't like.3 -
Funnily enough I prefer their low fat natural greek style yoghurt to anyone else's!2

I get almost all of my produce at Aldi. I am just careful of what I get, as sometimes it can be fairly ripe already and if not used quickly some might go to waste. Some of my usual pick ups are pears, apples, blackberries, blueberries, kiwis, strawberries, cucumbers, mini bell peppers, mushrooms, sugar snap peas and grape tomatoes. Compared to even Wal Mart their berry prices are fantastic. I also get my dark chocolate there - 5 bars for $2, and each bar is an individually wrapped portion. They also have some interesting specialty cheeses regularly. We also like the stuffed chicken breasts for an easy meal.3

I love their dark chocolate!
OP raspberries were 49 cents a box there yesterday so check out their 'deals of the day'. I always get their mini ice cream cones ($2 for 8), and their safari chicken nuggets for my kids and their Brie, feta and prosciutto. They sometimes have some very good wines (they currently have a $16 Cabernet that sells for $40 everywhere else)4
