Let’s get this thread started for the new year! This thread is product-specific and not intended for broader Aldi discussion/critiques.

Aldi Products Yea/Meh/Nay 2023-2024

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!

What is the lure of Aldi's Market?

Ok, they have an efficient 25 cent per shopping cart system that seems to work. A bring your own shopping bag rule that saves the planet. They carry a ‘Berrman’s’ instead of ‘Hellman’s’ mayo facsimile and line of obscure chicken ‘Wyngz’ that makes me chuckle. Prices for some items I know are cheap. Visited an Aldi’s for the first time in CT. Was not impressed with the drab atmosphere, their ‘private label’ products, or the unappealing produce section. What am I missing?
