ALDI

What the heck happened to this place? When I was growing up, ALDI was the place where poor people went to purchase poor-people food.

Now, ALDI is the place where just about everyone goes to get high-quality groceries for reasonable prices. It's crazy. I'm not even sure the uber poor shop there any longer. Everything is organic and the meats and cheeses are outstanding. Hell, they don't even sell bologna. How did such a massive transition occur?

Yeah! I only want the beef that is injected with fake red coloring!

I tried their milk and produce twice and both times it went to shit after 2 days regardless of ripeness or expiration date.
They sell these kettle cooked cracked pepper chips that are excellent for like $1.79 a bag.

First of all you have to pay for carts with quarters. I don't trust their generics compared to HEB (Texas's equivalent to Hy-Vee, no affiliation). They have knock off beer... knock off Samuel Adams and Shiner Bock...wtf. Just not my thing.
Just an FYI where I work we make coffee creamer, soy milk, and almond milk for both HEB and Aldi's store brand (as well as most every other grocery chain).

Its the EXACT same thing with a different label on it.

You are welcome.

Cheese, Butter (not that fake margarine crap) and Eggs are the best deals at ALDI. I pretty much stay away from the produce unless I plan on using it the day I buy it. Just got some Chicken breasts there that were not frozen and were over a $1 per pound less than HYVEE. You have to pick and choose what you buy but some good deals can be had.

Though stores work hard to mask them, a savvy shopper can usually find evidence of where a generic comes from, relative to a name brand.

Usually your best bet is to find the fine print to see where it's packaged or bottled.

[Just a ferinstance totally made up out of thin air but illustrative, but if you see a 'generic' soda that is 'bottled in Atlanta GA,' it's a good bet that the Coca Cola Corp is involved somewhere]

I got turned on to their Momma Cozis pizzas here. Still a little surprised their nicer ones are 3.99 and 4.99 though.

We love Aldi. Their prices are mostly better than anywhere else around here and their food is mostly good. We do the bulk of our grocery shopping there. We still do go to Dillons and Walmart for a few other items. Not sure why someone had issues with the milk. We never have issues with their milk. The produce is okay for the most part but it can be hit and miss. They always seem to be out of bananas or they're green. You can find some good apples but occasionally they are bland. Same with oranges. Peaches have always been awful, hard and not very sweet. Still, many other fresh fruits and veggies have been great. We have 2 stores here and we use them both. They recently remodeled the one out by Wannamaker. It is nice, more open and modern looking. But I think they had to cut out some items to do this. I have even recently started drinking their coffee (grounds in a bag) and their cappuccino K-cups. I would highly recommend them if you're on a budget and still want quality.

ALDI has really made a big push in the US in the last 7-8 years and it appears to be paying off for them.

I’ve switched primarily to Aldis for 90% of all my groceries. Had a few sketchy produce items. Everything I’ve gotten, I’ve been happy with.
