I also like the packaged salads they carry - different kinds and even include salad dressing, toppings and a plastic fork! Very reasonably priced (can't remember how much right now but know it's cheaper than Walmart's packaged salads). The lettuce always seems fresh and are great for grabbing on the go. I also love their chocolate and got my mom hooked on it! Let's not forget their Artic Bars - vanilla ice cream with chocolate coating. Just as good as Klondike bars but way cheaper. Those have preference now in my freezer in place of my Magnum bars, LOL, for a summer treat. But I think I've found something non-edible there more often than the edible goodies! They have so much variety...even fitness stuff. I did love their yearly planners, but since this year's came out in MARCH(!), I got tired of waiting so I'm done buying them there. I'm not sure you're familiar with the Deal Guy, but he has a YT channel that he reviews things from stores like Aldi's, Sam's, Target, etc. He is so funny and of the things I've tried, he's right on target!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXLi9-RXaXQ |

My Aldi’s is great. I love the fresh fruit and vegetables.
For meats, I typically shop the sale items. Specialty Selected Square Sourdough Loaf - this is my favorite bread for sandwiches. One slice will fill you right up (sliced in half and toasted). I try to keep at least 1 loaf in the freezer at all times. This is good for making little personal pizzas, too! The Brioche buns are good too but I don’t buy these often. I love the Habanero & Chipotle sliced cheeses, in the dairy aisle. Chicken tenders (frozen and in the refrigerated aisle). I also like the deli sliced mesquite turkey, rotisserie turkey & smoked ham. Canned black beans, diced tomatoes, pinto beans ( I go through a lot of these) I buy the big bag of jasmine rice. I love the Pepperoni flatbread pizzas. I like the boxed chicken and beef broths. As far as snacks, I like the BBQ Potato Chips (sweet/salty mixture). Some weeks I buy the chips and the mixture of salty/sweet is perfect, other times, not so much). The only snack that I tried and didn’t like was Aldi’s version of Cheez It’s! I love Cheez It’s and nothing compares to the original. . I stopped buying the dark chocolate because I was eating too much of it. One brand is better than the other, can’t remember which brand because it’s been at least 6 months since I last bought it. I find that a lot of the seasonal items, like crab or lobster stuffed ravoli’s, are really good. I make quick trips for just fruit/veggies or for sale items.

I don't care for Aldi's Cheetos version, either. They taste like you're eating grass. I can't quite explain it, but they are nothing like the original either.
