  • You can't go in to Aldi expecting to get your entire grocery haul done in one go, but you an definitely put a dent in it without denting your pocketbook. As everyone else has mentioned, bring a quarter ($0.25) if you want a cart and don't freak out, because you will get it back. I will also reiterate that you need to bring your own bag(s) or be prepared to shell out a few cents for the bags that Aldi sells at the register. The selection is surprisingly good at Aldi, especially for snacks! They have a great variety of trail mixes and snack bars, that are the same as popular brand name items. Rumor has it that most of their stuff comes off the same production lines and just has a different name on it. I will not purchase meat from Aldi because I know for a fact that you get what you pay for in that department. Just search the web and you will see some unsettling comparisons of chickens from Aldi versus chickens from a regular store. There is a reason their meats are cheap. Their produce is very hit or miss, but is a miss more times than a hit. If I need 5 or 6 fruits/vegetables, I can typically pick up 1 or 2 that look okay for consumption at Aldi. That being said, I am very selective about my produce and will pass over asparagus if the stems look too woody for my taste. I have had good experience with the blackberries at Aldi. I am a bit hesitant to share this secret, but the Light & Fit string cheese is amazing. Legitimately the best string cheese ever. Get it. Love it. Don't buy the last package when I am coming or I'll be very upset. I get a lot of canned/dry goods at Aldi and usually find what I need, but occasionally fall short. They have a lot of items, but you might not be able to be particular. For example, you may want mild tomatoes/green chiles and they only carry regular. They also probably won't carry special variations of items like reduced sugar ketchup. This is a pain point shared with Costco. There have been several 'misses' from this grocery store, of items that were not good. What comes to mind are the gelato, ice cream bars, cheddar cheese blocks and off-brand chewing gum. If you want my advice, the best plan is to go in for dry/canned goods and snacks and buy anything fresh/frozen elsewhere. Cash or debit only. Don't be that clown that tries to swipe their AMEX at the register. Happens. Every. Time.
