What do you buy at Aldi?

Skeemer · September 2014

I know it's been discussed some but I need a refresher course. I just ate some awesome pot stickers I got on a whim from Aldi. What do you guys love & hate to buy at Aldi?

Loves -

Cheddar jalapeno poppers
Mozzarella sticks
Breakfast biscuits
Their Hot Pockets
Baby spinach
Shredded cheese
Their version of Ruffles (OMG, so good with Deans' French Onion Dip)
Sea salt grinder
All kinds of snacks for DS
Frozen 1 lb ground turkey rolls
Pasta sauce
Canned fruits & most canned veggies
Their version of Gatorade. DH loves it.

Hates -

Frozen chicken wings (They were SO fatty that I seriously couldn't eat them)

Loves: shredded cheese, Roasted red paper hummus, All beef smoked sausage, Stew meat (seriously amazing, typically fresher and so much cheaper than other stores), Butter lettuce for salads, Fresh produce (tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, blueberries, clementine, bell peppers), Parmesan pita chips (These are THE most amazing pita chips ever!!), Canned veggies, And ready to bake pizzas... they are delicious!

Hates: Ground beef, Frozen pizzas and other frozen meats, Cookies (they just don't taste the same as the name brand)

The Aldi's in my area has really poor quality products

so, I make it a plan not to shop there. But, I'm all about BJ's and Walmart. Lol The Walmart I shop at is fairly new and not really the stereotypically unpleasant shopping experience that most Walmarts give off.

Specialty cheeses like Brie, goat, blue, etc., BBQ baked chips and multigrain tortilla chips (amazing), flour, sugar, butter, organic produce such as apples, spices, vanilla, hummus, bread and bagels. I usually go there first, then go to Meijer to fill in the gaps.

I buy very specific things at Aldi... Mostly dairy:half and half creamer, kiefer, probiotic yogurt, various cheeses. I also buy their fruit drinks, like mango peach, lemonade, and cranberry. The Moma Cozzone frozen Pizza is pretty good. I buy bread there, and chips, and granola, peanuts. I get dark chocolate bars there also.
I agree with @jensavicci that many of their products are lower quality, but the items I buy are comparable quality to other brands and prices are cheapest there.

I love that they are carrying organic items now. It rocks my socks off. Also if you haven't tried their chocolate do it immediately!
