So a friend talked me into going to Aldi for the first time. I've been a few times and the place grows on you. I do like saving $$$.
In case you aren't familiar:
In short - you have to get used to their store brands of stuff to shop there. Some are fine - some are not. Everyday items like milk, eggs, meat, canned fruit and vegetables, etc, are fine. Their meats are actually pretty good as it's a German based store. Their potato and tortilla chips were good too. Their fake saltine crackers and Ritz crackers were fine too.
I did not care for their frozen pizzas - crust was weird. I haven't cared much for their pickle either. But so far those are the only things I haven't cared for.
What are your thoughts on Aldi? What items do you like and not like from there?
In case you aren't familiar:
- German based discount grocery store
- Has mostly only their store brands, which are VERY cheap (think large bag potato chips for 89)
- Usually only has ONE of every product
- Have to leave a quarter deposit for shopping cart and get quarter back when you return cart.
