Tried a new product?
Found an AldiDeal you’d recommend?
What are your regular purchases?
Any “one and dones” that were plain terrible?
Please share with your fellow Aldi devotees.
Note: this thread is specifically about products at Aldi, not more general raves/complaints about the shopping experience. A quick search turns up those topics, as well as other chains. Thanks!
I’ve not heard good stuff about Aldi pizza, and their Chicago deep dish is awful - the crust is an affront to all things pizza (tho my PIC likes it). I’ll check it out some time!
I recently picked up the chicken parm cutlets bc someone in my Facebook WFD group likes both the pork and chicken cutlets. Not sure if she’s tried these yet, but they’ll make for a quick (and hopefully tasty) weeknight meal :-).
I also saw burrata at Aldi for the first time, at $4.89. TJ’s is $4.99 IIRC, and I love it. Might have to grab that to compare.
I like the Fremont Market frozen salmon croquettes (when they have them) and the frozen chipotle black bean burgers. Some of the frozen items in what I call the “here today, gone tomorrow” case are good, but it’s so unpredictable. May try the goat cheese and fig pizza next time.
Ditto - closest one to me is in Salem, NH and I have to make a concerted effort to go to that area of Salem. However, I have some coupons to use at World Market that are going to be ending on the 31st, so maybe a double stop for me.
Yeah, mine is in the same complex as Costco but I stopped going when they started delivering via Instacart.
Now that I think about it, that Aldi’s also delivers via Instacart, though it would defeat the point of their pricing (though might break even to travel cost…) Still, there’s fun to browsing (for some of us anyway!)
The tavern-style you recommended (and I picked up earlier) is also Mama Cozzi’s AFAIK. I also grabbed the pistachio gelato dessert cups from the freezer & their burrata besides my usual staples of YAYS, i.e. the lox, gem lettuces, and avocados. The black tiger shrimp are back as well, FYI.
