Good news and bad: Aldi is GREAT for fresh dairy, fruits, veggies, frozen seafood, and that wide range of non-food seasons stuff they get in (i.e., plants, outdoor furniture, toys, cake decor).

BUT...most of their canned, processed, boxed, and even fresh meat/deli foods are high in salt, sugar, fats (the hydrogenated ones), and calories - the reason why your grocery bill is less is because they use cheaper (read: less healthy) ingredients. Be sure to read your labels, even on frozen foods you wouldn't imagine would have additional ingredients.

I LOVE Aldi!

When the produce is good, it's really good. You can always tell easily what isn't good though, so it's not like you're going to be surprised when you cut into something. I just picked up the best pineapple on my last trip.

I love the frozen seafood, a large bag of tilapia for like, $5 and they always have Flounder too.
I always find ground turkey and sometimes ground chicken.
Can't beat the price on the fresh chicken breasts and I prefer them over Kroger brand. Sometimes they require a little extra trimming, but I'm totally ok with that.
I stray away from the breads/cereals because they often come laden with additives.
Always go for canned beans/refried beans.
Cheeses are great, and a wide variety.

Also, Aldi's parent company is Trader Joe's I heard, and I've often found organic items as well as brand name items.

Everything Fit and Active is pretty good. I LOVE getting my produce from there. It's cheap and they have a double guarantee...if you don't like the product they'll replace it AND give you your money back, though I've never had to do this. I also get the 1 pound package of frozen ground turkey for $1.49. Everything is inexpensive and good quality.

String Cheese is the best you will find from any grocery store.
Also love the prepackaged guacamole. When in a time crunch, this is the best tasting prepared guac you will find.

I used to work there as an assistant buyer, a lot of great quality stuff!

Millville Fiber Now Chewy Bars Oats & Peanut Butter - 1 bar has 10 g of FIBER!!!! and they taste really good.

The Fit & Active cereal is pretty good too.

I love their fat free milk, light string cheese, Fage 0% greek yogurt, and fish sticks (my vice). I haven't had anything else bad from there either.

You have to read the package on anything regardless of where you shop. So that in itself is not a reason to discount Aldi in my book.

Aldis is good but don't buy too much produce as some things turn fast

I love the fruits and veggies, and the fit and active stuff.. I also love the nuts and dried fruit.. the dairy section is great.. I like the chicken and the ground meat.. the only thing I dnt like is the cereals, potato chips or mac and cheese.. and relaly I don't eat those anymore anyway. As far as healthy stuff.. i like it..

Right on Sister
I've been shopping at Aldi for about a year now. The chain recently came to Texas where I live. I find it very charming as well as semi good to the environment ( rented carts at .25 so they do not end up in the alley, bring your own bags to take purchase away, cash or debit card )
The store is small. It is like a neighborhood market. There will be only 5 isles. Where in the normal mega chain stores you will find 15 choices of ketchup, in the Aldi store ,there will be one choice of kind and size. This makes shopping very fast. Emealz.com has great meal plans that are designed for the Aldi store ( other stores as well ) I subscribe to the Clean Eating for 2 Plan and I can find almost everything for my plan at the Aldi store. This is a huge time saver and after many months, the meals are great.
As for the produce, I find the fruit and vegetables are good. Berries, apples, and citrus are good and priced great.
The coffee under the label Donut Store Coffee is as good as any. I like the sugar free creamer in the dairy case (vanilla ) Bye bye Starbucks. Roasted Almonds ( to the right when you first walk in ) are amazing. I buy the skinless boneless frozen chicken bst and the hamburger meat. Tonight we are having marinated tenderized beef cutlets with avocado and grapefruit salad. I am on a budget and my grocery bill has been cut in half at least. Laundry soap and dog food OK too.
Have fun

My hubby will only eat their spaghetti sauce. I like their egg substitute, frozen shrimp, light broth, and sometimes their fruits and veggies. I am really picky about my fresh F&V's looking perfect.

Eggs
Frozen Tilapia and shrimp
Quick Oats
Frozen Steam bags of broccoli
Veggies, Fruit
Roasted Rep pepper Hummus

A little disapointed they dont seem to have the Flavored Tuna packs and Microwavable Rice packs any longer

Glad to find this thread...I have shopped there for over 5 years...My favorite item is their sugar free red thunder.
String cheese is the best.
I buy almost all my produce there.
I will have to try their spagetti sauce.
I am out of peanut butter...so will be trying that too.
