Any favorite or surprise low carb foods at Aldi? I enjoy the grass fed ground beef.

Last week chia seeds were on sale for $1.69! Flax seed, almond milk, coconut oil is on sale too!3

My "advance" sale ad last week showed whole ducks on sale, but they weren't in the ad that came out in the mail. So check your local shop!
My favorite things are to watch their "half off" weekend or special items...or marked down meat because it's a day or 3 out. I get most of my dairy there, and eggs...3 -
Adding: I was just told that ALDI is owned by Trader Joe's, so the quality is better than most expect for the price. I guess bagging your own groceries and bringing your own bags makes a huge cost difference!4

Whole ducks! I love duck. So fatty and delicious. I made a turducken once, it was incredible.0

@SuperCarLori love chia. And I love that Aldi has some of these specialty items now.1

Me too! I love that store...0

They have good selection of nuts I can't purchase because of my inability to not binge. I always get my heavy cream she kerrygold there and usually coconut oil if I'm out. They've lately had unsweetened coconut milk as well. Lots of times they have a great selection of cheeses to.2

Oh and bacon2

I feel your pain regarding an inability to not binge on nuts.3 -
Oh yes, I do like the bacon from Aldi. Uncured. There was a prosciutto/cheese roll thing too, I don't know the nutrition info on that though.1

Wish we could get it here! Cheap groceries are not a thing in Vancouver.
Loved Aldi when I was living in Ireland. Saved heaps of money shopping there versus any of the other stores.2 -
I get a lot of their fit and active stuff. They have a sweet italian turkey sausage, and their rotisserie flavor turkey breast tenderloin is great. OH, and I got one of their Strip Steaks for the first time and it was AWESOME. I was really impressed how good it turned out. I get their string cheese and they have a variety of the precooked brat thingies with various cheeses and peppers cooked right in.4
-
Oh they have cage free humanely raised chicken now too. And pork rinds if you like those. They sometimes have lc bars kinda like the atkins stuff but generic, they are to yummy for me to keep around though4
-
I love aldis! just went there today and got great stuff and I paid under $100 which is incredible for the stuff I got! I bought a spaghetti squash for .75 cents!3
-
Wow I went to buy spaghetti squash...it's fall it's in season and it was over 6$ I returned it. I want Aldi here!1

ALDI'S IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!

Being a German owned company they (Aldi) had a load of German foods for Oktoberfest. I bought presswurst (jellied pork), sourkraut, red cabbage, rye bread etc. Gotta love the prices too. People say the food miles are bad (e.g. many of these products are made in Germany, I am in Australia) but when you look at the quality and the price it's unbeatable. You just got to make sure you don't become addicted to hoarding food!2

I have that same inability!! I either abstain or I have a very, very small bowl that I put the nuts in and say to myself, "that's it!" I like to use them as the dessert I miss having.1 -

@genmon00 - I've been watching mine like a hawk. It mainly only has the acorn squash and another small yellow type similar in appearance to the acorn squash. I'm missing spaghetti squash, but much like @fuelednfit - I'm not willing to pay $5-$10 for one...1 -
I am very excited as we are getting one in Gainesville!! I hope it is as good as you all are talking about. There was an Aldi's the last place I lived but I have to tell you it had NONE of the stuff you all are talking about.1
-
I just found out an Aldi's is opening in the town I do my major grocery shopping...right beside the walmart. I'm so excited and I just can't imagine Aldi's opening in a rural town in the middle of Minnesota but I'll take it!2

Their grass fed beef is too notch, due to the mass of bacon in ingest these days I have resorted to Costco and their giant pack of pre cooked bacon. So easy and quick.0

I just threw out a bag of 75% peanuts and 25% cashews from Aldi. I am unable to control myself once I start eating those salted, roasted nuts. Better to forego them. I am also weaning myself off Aldi's Italian tiramisu dessert. I was able to limit myself potion-wise but it had become a staple part of my diet. Their Moser Roth cherry chilli dark chocolate is deadly too. I am in maintenance but carbs have been creeping back in.2

I have that same issue, so I started buying the Unsalted Almonds. Still good, just not too good. I can more easily eat a reasonable amount of them.1 -
Did shopping for the week (and some stocking up) at Aldi last night!
I wanted to buy all the cheese but I restrained myself. The green veggies actually looked pretty good so we got broccoli, jalapeños, asparagus, and zucchini. Some meat for the week. Pork rinds. Pistachios. Frozen ahi tuna steaks were a nice surprise! Got some shrimp too.
I was happy to see organic coconut oil, didn't need it right now but will get it there from now on most likely.
Probably spent much less than at Meijer, where we usually shop.3
