Aldi Love - Page 3

Hathor · 04-03-2011, 05:45 PM

I love the German hazelnut chocolate wafers they sell for $.99 each. Mmmmm....cheap and good.

KuroBara · 04-10-2011, 01:41 PM

I adore Aldi's! I first started shopping when I was in Ohio for college, but there was not a store in my area for years after that. But once it opened, I told everyone I knew to shop there. Aldi's had the best bagels and milk. Now, I'm hooked on the great produce and special deals. Long live Aldi's!

Deven · 04-11-2011, 05:39 PM

I got some AWESOME frozen chinese food. It's so freaking tasty! Pork dumplings and Sesame Orange chicken! And at $3.99, you can't beat that price.

Diane · 04-15-2011, 08:05 AM

They have good pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough.

MLadyJ · 04-15-2011, 08:35 AM

For anyone interested this week 2 good specials at Aldi's are: slated or unsalted better for $2.29 per # and a spiral sliced honey ham for $1.49 at #.

I can walk to the closest Aldi, never do though. They got good stuff and have improved over the years. My aldi favorite is Jalapeno Havarti cheese.

I love their clearance rack. Its awesome.

ConnieLynn · 04-15-2011, 06:21 PM

I shop Aldi often. You can get in, grab the basics, and get out in a flash. Everything in the dairy section is good and economical. Prices on fruit and veggies are amazing. That's about all that I regularly buy there. I'm one of those folks who just shops the outer aisles

EMH1701 · 04-19-2011, 04:21 PM

I like Aldi's for cheap meat. When I was doing Mastering the Art of French Cooking, I got a really good beef roast for $7 there. I used it for Beouf Bourginon and it turned out splendidly.

ThatFatGirl · 04-21-2011, 07:17 PM

Aldi has a Mama Cozzi goat cheese and spinach pizza on special this week for $2.99. I bought one the other day and just wanted to report back it is fantastic and I'm not normally such a big fan of goat cheese. I'm hoping to go back tomorrow to pick up a few more.

Their Tropicana brand clementines are super sweet still too.

imfree · 04-21-2011, 07:45 PM

Ha! this would be a fun one to parodize! 'Cuz we got a thing and it's called Aldi Love!!!

ConnieLynn · 06-09-2011, 01:38 PM

My new favorite thing from Aldi -- Benita Premium Ice Cream Bars! They are great. Come in strawberry, mango, and coconut. Super creamy and have real bits of fruit in them. Strawberry is great, but I am totally addicted to the coconut.

Also, they have blueberries right now for 99 cents!

anneblithe · 06-10-2011, 09:57 AM

Ripe blueberries are the best thing ever. Time for a jog (ha, walk) to Aldis.

ThatFatGirl · 06-10-2011, 11:46 AM

I absolutely love Aldi's Light and Fit Wildberry Sorbet and ice cream bars. Unfortunately, my local store was out of them the last two times I was there.

Green Eyed Fairy · 06-12-2011, 06:37 PM

I thought ALDIs had the best white grapes ever- but then I tried the red ones. It's unreal for grapes to taste that good!

I wonder if ALDI will sell any cherries this year?

Mine has them...2 bucks a pound..but limit 1.

ThatFatGirl · 06-17-2011, 04:25 PM

Aldi has Boca burgers for $2.50! I don't think I've ever seen them so cheap. I'm not a big fan myself, but my 13 year old vegetarian niece is visiting next month so I bought a couple packages.

The Wild Berry Sorbet and Ice Cream bars were in stock again finally. It was all I could do to resist buying the new Magnum ice cream bars they had as a special purchase. God, I was tempted. I saw my doctor Wednesday, so the "lose weight or die" lecture was still fresh in my head. I resisted. If they still have them next week, I make no promises.

imfree · 06-17-2011, 04:30 PM

Had me some good ol' Aldi's 'tater chips with lunch!

PhatChk · 06-26-2011, 05:47 PM

I love Aldi specially stocking up on dry herbs, rubs and baking ingredients.

ThatFatGirl · 08-01-2011, 03:42 PM

Not food, but... some Aldi love for the $3.99 hanging Impatiens plant I bought a few months ago. It was one of only a handful they had left. It had no blooms and a very sad "Charlie Brown's Christmas" Christmas tree vibe going, but with some TLC it turned into this glorious thing.

miafantastic · 08-01-2011, 04:51 PM

Hrm. Couple of these in my area. After reading this thread, my wallet's itching to give them a try. One of my coworkers described them as the Ikea of grocery stores.

SoVerySoft · 08-03-2011, 10:39 AM

There is an Aldi's near me - I just passed it on my way to my recently relocated office. I've never been, tho I go to Trader Joes often. I'll have to check them out!

SoVerySoft · 01-24-2012, 05:06 PM

ok, first time to Aldi's last weekend. I think the one closest to me is a small one, and doesn't have much. Do they tend to vary?

I was also disappointed that they didn't have the clams y'all have been raving about. I WANT CLAMS!

Dromond · 01-24-2012, 05:26 PM

Aldi stores tend to not be very large in comparison to other grocery stores. Also, aside from a core of products that they always carry, their stock changes from week to week. You need to pay attention to their ads to see what they're promoting each week. Even with that, there will be items they stock for limited amounts of time that they don't advertise. It can be a crap shoot.

I had the same kind of preconceptions, especially listening to my coworkers talking about the store, but after seeing this thread, and in the FOODEE board no less, I told my honey we have to try em. Lucky us there's one right up the street from us.

I'll be sure to leave my thoughts once I've had the opportunity to try their food.

Ruby Ripples · 01-27-2012, 03:01 PM

They have got so much better over the years. When i went about 15 years ago or so, their stuff wasn't so great, just cheap. But now they are very good. Unfortunately I don't often get to Aldi, but I love some of their products. The smoked salmon with the sachet of orange and mustard sauce is amazing, for under £2, and their own brand crisps are my very favourite kind. They are just so potatoey, crisp and well flavoured - just what a crisp should be, lol. Their fruit and veg are just always so fresh looking and at least a third less than at other supermarkets.

I feel quite famous as they used a comment I made on their products, on a "Hot Deals" site I frequent, in a recent national leaflet and on their site.
