What one bargain Aldi Item do you find top quality?

[srvy]

I use Aldi for quite a few items that are budget priced offering great quality and value.

My choice at one time would have been the pork roll breakfast sausage for B&G but they have changed many suppliers and what is offered now is greasy tasteless trash.

My one item isnt even food. Its a 7.99 coffee conical burr grinder. I Thought for price worth a try but 3 years later its not trash in fact its a workhorse that wont die.




ill admit I am off for my annual wellness checkup the first with new Doc the old retired. Sweating out whether he will be a butt pirate. The old wasn't he left that for the professionals and tossed me the stool sample kit.

But beware, some of their other beers are brewed in Rochester NY by the same people who make Genessee. Their cheeses are OK too.

True and in Munich they have an aldi brand Jager! I got plenty of beer from them when we lived in Munich. My fav part was the big soft pretzels you can buy in there. It looked like a wall that was a big vending machine and you pressed a button and a baked pretzel appeared!

It's a GREAT store. Remember to bring a Quarter to 'rent' the Shopping Cart, you also have to bag your own groceries. You get your Quarter back after you are done with their cart...this prevents them from having to hire a person to round up carts in the parking lot, helping to keep prices low.

Aldi has great chocolate.

I go there to buy my almonds, single serve guac (for lunch at work), and their riced cauliflower (dollar cheaper, at least, than any other store).

I think the best thing I've ever gotten there, however, were these Tandori BBQ chips. Who would of thought of putting Indian food/flavoring on a potato chip?

The cashier's ass

Their Friendly Farms brand french onion dip is by far the best around, and it is always in stock. I was hesitant to try Aldi at first. I figured it'd be like a crappier Wal-Mart. We're hooked, though. It is our main store for weekly grocery shopping. We can get 95% of what we need there.

That extra, unnecessary, midwestern "s" on the end.

The closest Aldi is in California and I'm not driving that far to save .70 on a gallon of milk.

Raspberry lemonade is really good. Cured meats and cheeses are great.

Their version of Rice Krispies should be avoided, though.

They had boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.59 a pound a couple weeks ago. I go for the avocados and browse the aisles while I am there. Dairy is good I have picked up milk for $.99 a gallon.

If you’re not shopping Aldi, you’re paying way more than you should for 75% of your basic groceries

Eggs, milk, cheese, most meats just to name a few... but to answer the op, I’ll put Clancy’s potato chips up against any name brand out there

My wife loves the winking owl moscato. It's 2.99.

[Baby Lee]

Anyone have inside info on the production process for the 'carryout' pizzas at Aldi? The big ones with the open-face boxes for 4.99-6.99?

I mildly noted that they looked similar to WalMart's carryout pizzas, then my interest was piqued when both Aldi and WalMart came out with the Philly Cheesesteak pizza within weeks of each other.

I don't doubt both are produced 'fresh frozen' at nearby 'ready to eat' food production plants, but I wonder now if both product lines are made at the same plant.

I don't shop at Aldi very much. Maybe once a year or so I'll stop in one and browse around. I did buy some chicken salad with cranberries and some other stuff there once, and I still think about it years later because it was ****ing awesome as far as premade chicken salads go.
