List your favorites from Aldi here!

It's easier to list the things I do not like from Aldi's. I don't care for their cheese or their mac n cheese. Everything else I've had is just as good, and a lot of times, better than other stores/brands. Just recently tried greek yogurt. I went to walmart to get cheese and grabbed a few flavors to try. Then I went to Aldi's and grabbed the two flavors they had. I have now tried one from both and the Aldi's brand is much better than the Chobani or whatever brand from Walmart.

i love aldis rice cakes, fruit crisp bars, salad dressings, sparkling waters, and baked potato chips

Speghetti Sauce is better than any other I have had. I buy their produce a lot because it is so much cheaper, but fruits and veggies are fruits and veggies no matter where you buy them from. I love buying the frozen veggies too because no matter what brand you pic, all canned veggies and well canned anything has way too much sodium. Milk is cheaper, and lasts longer too.

I haven't been to Aldi's but in the flyers, the fruit and veggies always seem so cheap. Can anyone please weigh in on the quality of the produce? Thanks!

Their fruits and veggies!!!! I'm a little more particular about dairy, fish and eggs so I shop somewhere else for that but Aldi is wonderful for fruit and veggies!

big tub of vanilla yogurt (fit and active)
Millville Fiber Now Cereal

Bremmer Turkey Meatballs (in the frozen food section) best with barbeque sauce)

Tomato Basil Soup
I could add more. I go every week.

I have only started going there a little over a month ago. The only thing I have found that I don't like is the greek yogurt, but it was the first time I had ever tried greek yogurt and it may be that I just don't like it, especially since another poster has said that it tasted better than the brand name. But I am definitely an Aldi's fan, I wish I had tried it a lot sooner.

The fresh produce at Aldi Australia is always good, fresh and well priced. We love that most of their foodstuff is produced locally.

Also check out Aldi for their (Crofton) cooking stuff which are great quality and much cheaper than other brands. We have a couple of their tagines, bought a paella pan for $5 recently and their caste iron pots are wonderful.

The produce at Aldi are often good deals. Picked up some kiwis there just a few days ago.
As far as the processed foods go, it's usually hit or miss. They use high fructose corn syrup in a lot of products, even the popular "Fit and Active" brand. However, I do like their imported chocolates.. made with real ingredients, but of course, it's important to only enjoy a small amount in moderation
They do carry steel cut oats, which are great. I've heard their dairy products are pretty good too- the milk and cheeses, at least. Their string cheeses are good for snacks. They also carry some non-store brands like Fage greek yogurt and Nature's Path granola at the ones near me, for cheaper than other locations.
My mom picked up some pita chips (Clancy's brand) last time she was there. I believe it was the garlic & Parmesan flavor, and I must admit they tasted pretty good. The ingredient list wasn't so threatening, either xD
Oh, and I also enjoy their Priano pizzelle cookies. They're quite low-calorie and good for when you just want to munch on something.

Clancy Multigrain Tortilla Chips
Fit & Active Yogurt Raisins (noms!)
Salad Mix
Grandesssa Spaghetti Sauces
Tuna
Frozen shrimp, perch, salmon

I find the produce to be iffy as well, and the bread goes bad fast.

And they haven't had it in a while, but they used to make an Thai Yellow Curry rice mix. I stockpiled it (throw a bag of the shrimp in, VOILA! Dinner) but I finally ran out and they haven't had it since. *cries*

I have never shopped at one because I was told the food they sell is about to expire or has expired already, is that true?

No. In fact most of there stuff is the same as name brand just packaged under a Aldi name. (per a show I saw about Aldi). I shop there twice a month. Get alot of great stuff. Buy most of my can goods there, produce, all our milk, bread, And my families junk food. (not mine anymore :noway: )

There stuff has use by dates on it just like everywhere else. And it does depend on how good your store is about moving the old out. My store is really good. But I always check the dates esp since at one Nation wide major chain I more then once got stuff that was very out dated. Made me so mad to cause once they came to our town they drove out the other grocery stores and I loved the products the old stores sold. But this other one moved in and with in 3 months the old stores were closed. Then the new one started slipping. Since then no matter where I am I check the dates.

I love the fit and active brand from Aldi's! The rice cakes (cheddar is my favorite), the salad dressings, 'lean pocket' type things, everything. I don't buy my fruits/veggies there, because I've noticed they're not near as fresh at ours. I do buy my eggs and bread/english muffins/bagels there though because the prices are so low! I also buy tuna and frozen stuff there too. The prices are awesome. I usually just buy staple foods here, then go somewhere else for the rest of my shopping.

I too went to a local Aldi's for the first time last week. Their restaurant style tortilla chips (Clancy's) and the salsa (Grandessa's) are AWESOME!

I will be buying a lot more stuff there for sure with the prices they have.

I found wheat hamburger and hotdog buns there yesterday for 49 cents per pack (8 per pack!) I also bought 40 heavy duty paper plates and 50 plastic solo-style cups for $2.99 each. My Memorial Day party is set and I saved over $10 just on buns.

I always buy there kitchen bags ($4.99 for 100) and ziplocs ($1.19 for 100) there because the prices are even better than at Walmart. The produce is hit or miss but when it's good and fresh, the prices cannot be beat (39 cents for 3 zucchinis yesterday.) The one near me also carries oriental vegetable and sauce mixes that are delicious and low cal. MIlk is $1.88 a gallon here and eggs are 99 cents. I haven't had any issues with any dairy products from them. Great place to buy condiments, pickles, jalapenos, rice, beans, chicken boullion, etc...

Some things I have tried and not liked are few and far between. The tilapia tasted like it had been frozen and thawed and refrozen too many times (maybe a bad batch since others like it.) After the recent recalls I am careful about where I buy meat from and I never buy fresh or frozen meat (pork tenderloin for $2.69 lb looked really good ot me yesterday and I almost caved.)
