The Aldi we hit a few x’s a month has been a game changer for family parties. We have a large family, 33 people ages 89 to 17 and two weeks ago we put out a very nice spread for under $100. The jarred pickles, olives, roasted peppers, assorted nuts, cheeses, citrus, apples, melon, berries, mixed breads, frozen scallops and shrimp, a few rock cornish hens, salads, frozen dessert cheesecakes and ice creams would have been double the price…plus paper goods.
The canned white meat chicken at a $1.69 is still one of my fav quick meal fixins on one of those 4 pack brioche buns.
There are a few items we tried from the dry goods bins that were too salty or tasted like a weak knock offbut nothing that broke the bank for trying.
I also noticed more organic items. With this NJ location expanding, we are hoping more items will be offered on the shelves.
Aldi doesn’t replace the rest of our shopping rotation, there are a dozen markets in our immediate area, but they are a solid on many items we did pay more for before Aldi arrived.
Now that my niece is interested in cooking, I create care packages from Aldi staples.
