I don't live in the States anymore, but at the U.S. Aldi we really liked the three-packs of tuna steaks in the frozen section. They were a little more than $4, and one pack was just enough for dinner for our three-person family. I also used to like their plain Greek yogurt.
Other people said they liked the tortilla chips, but we didn't like them at all. Also their version of just-add-water and microwave mac and cheese was a big fail, in my DD's opinion. But she really liked their ice cream sandwiches. Their hummus and packaged salads were good and decently priced. Also the spices, black pepper, etc. were a lot cheaper than at regular grocery stores.

I'm kind of mad at Aldi because their seafood cat food in the small cans was the *only* one our cat liked, and since they reformulated it, added more chicken and put it in pull-top plastic containers, he won't touch it! We tried the seafood flavor in the larger cans and he doesn't like it either. (For the cat folks on here, any suggestions of wet cat food with a high fish/seafood/shrimp content and low-to-no chicken or filler? Poor Tony is having to make do with Meow Mix.)
I do like the soft pretzels, liverwurst, chocolate and frozen mussels from Aldi. But now that a Lidl has opened in town, we go there more often.

I buy the following:
Moser Roth Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt (other flavor available but this is my favorite) Schogetten Dark Chocolate (they have milk and other flavors) Greek Yogurt (plain whole milk) - I haven't bought this in awhile since I discovered Fage plain lactose free yogurt elsewhere Liquid Egg Whites - quart container for about $2 which is much less expensive than other brands. Large eggs Restaurant Tortilla Chips (less salt that Tostitos) Pita Bread Mini-naan bread -Like Sherry mentioned they freeze well and I like them toasted. There produce varies-sometimes it is great other times not so much but the prices can't be beat. My main complaint is that you can't buy loose items in many cases-peppers, lemons, limes etc. and thus are often wrapped in plastic which I am not crazy about. I think it is to cut down on weighing things at the counter. Their sacks of oranges, grapefruit and clementines are usually pretty good and the prices are great-I often share the excess with my friends and neighbors since there is so much in one bag. They don't have everything you can get in other supermarkets- e.g. they never have parsley but only cilantro. They never have arugula. So if I want those things I have to go to another market. I can't think of anything else right now but will add to this later if I do. |
