Top Twelve Things to Buy at ALDI
A couple of weeks ago I told you about some of my favorite things to buy at Costco. Today, here are my top twelve things to buy at ALDI! Do you agree? What would you add?
Top Twelve Things To Buy at ALDI
1. El Milagro tortillas. These are, simply, made of awesome -- and at $.33 for corn or $.85 for flour? Totally awesome. Plus Chicago area ALDI stores get daily deliveries, so if you are lucky, you'll one day catch them as they're restocking. Because the only thing better than an affordable and tasty El Milagro tortilla is a fresh and warm El Milagro tortilla.
2. Produce. ALDI puts different produce items on sale each week, at a huge savings over conventional grocery stores. The quality of produce at my ALDI is almost always better than the produce at my Jewel -- and I can get 2-4x as much for my money, making this one a no-brainer. While they do have limited varieties, I count on ALDI for basics like cheap baby carrots, mushrooms, strawberries, avocados and more.
3. Baking supplies. Sugar for $1.38, flour for $1.38, baking morsels for $1.59... even the gluten free baking mix at $2.99 is cheaper than I can get gluten free Bisquick with subscribe & save on Amazon, with no noticeable taste difference.
4. Canned beans. We use a lot of beans in soups, stews, and chili, and they range $.59-$.79 a can every day. I can pick up organic beans at ALDI for less than the sale price of conventional beans most other places, and coupons for beans are few and far between.
5. Gluten free snacks. If you've priced out gluten free products, you're familiar with the sticker shock that can come with that diet. I have been buying the ALDI liveGfree gluten free pretzels ($1.89) and crackers ($1.49) for wheat free Junior High Guy, and he's a big fan of both. Note: If you're also dairy free one variety of the crackers contains milk, so check labels.
6. Clancy's tortilla chips. They recently changed the bag, but same great chips and same $1.19 everyday price. Cheaper and tastier than Tostitos!
7. Clearance items. Whenever you're in ALDI, make sure to walk the aisles looking for good clearance prices. It won't take long, as the store isn't that big! Your best bet here will be on perishables nearing their expiration date, and on special buys that need to be cleared out to make room for the next batch.
8. Bacon bits. They're $1.39. Enough said.
9. Organic soy milk. Coupons for non-dairy milk seem to go in waves -- sometimes I can get a better deal on Silk with a coupon combined with a sale, and sometimes it's stuck over $3.00 with no available coupons for weeks. Organic SimplyNature soy milk is $2.29 at ALDI every day. Dairy free Junior High Guy gives it a thumbs up, so this is where I buy soy milk in the absence of a great sale elsewhere.
10. Cheese cups. Aside from the rare ALDI sale or clearance price, regular shredded and block cheese are not a super buy at ALDI; it goes on sale for less almost every week at one or another nearby grocery store. However, shredded and crumbled cheese cups are a nice everyday price at $1.79-$1.99, and MashupDad is an especial fan of the Parmesan.
11. Weekly Special Buys. Every week ALDI brings in a new batch of products as limited-time Special Buys -- and how fun is that? Some of these are better prices than others, so watch that, but sometimes you can get a great deal. My kitchen alone sports everything from a cushy floor mat to a big rolling pet food container to a metal strainer, all good prices at one time or another on an ALDI Special Buy.
12. Meat (with a caveat). Some meat I will buy at ALDI, and some I will not. Buys include things like this year's corned beef, which came from ALDI at $1.99/lb -- it was fantastic. Their Nature Raised chicken is tasty and all natural, and often turns up with clearance stickers. Don't buys include their solution added pork chops (the amount of liquid that cooks out of these is truly disturbing), most of their frozen fish filets (great prices, but processed in China), or the beef filets that show up regularly on Wed. meat special buys (just not very good at all).
Your turn
Those are my top twelve things to buy at ALDI! Do you agree? What would you add to this list, or where do you disagree?
I would add the Mama Cassita Salsa. My entire family loves it! The only disagreement I have is with the produce. It never seems to be that great at my local Aldi.
We are big fans of their veggie straws and veggie chips - I always stock on these for parties. Cheap and tasty.
The dried fruit is also an excellent deal - I tend to buy the dried cranberries and dried cherries, but they have lots of other options as well.
Skip the non-national-brand cookies - you get what you pay for with those. Usually taste like sawdust held together with wax and sugar.
I think The Benton cookies taste just like Girl Scout cookies....
Benton chocolate chip soft cookies!!!! Taste just like Matt's cookies.
I buy as much as I can these days at Aldi. Almost without exception I've been pleased with the quality (although I did not like their version of A1 steak sauce!). My favorite buy there recently is their brand (knock-off) of a Sonicare sonic toothbrush for $19.99 (came with 6 or 8 heads, wall mount case, etc.)! It is awesome! And wow, it works so much better than a regular toothbrush, I can actually see the difference in my teeth.
I sure agree about the A1 sauce. I'm an American, raised on the stuff. It was thin and watery; it should be thick with lots of flavor.
Milk is usually cheaper at Aldi compared to local food stores. I would have to disagree with you regarding the produce. It is hit or miss. Some items I purchased are good, but there are other items that I purchased only to have an off taste to them.
I love Aldi. I agree with your picks. I love the produce at mine but I always plan to eat it within a few days. I would add nearly anything "Specially Selected" (their higher end brand), almond milk, booze (great Irish cream and delish prepared sangria), paper plates (sturdy paper and not foam), and dog treats. The special buys are usually a good deal and super random--medical walker for uncle, Little Tykes picnic table, toys at the holidays, an over-the-door mirror. The only things I did not like are refrigerated sugar cookies (slice and bake) and the raw meat (cooked it and it was tough).
Also think the produce is good (at least at my Aldi!) for the most part. Probably 70% of the time-- compared to Jewel which is like 50%!
I second those Clancy tortilla chips. We love them. And they are so cheap. Pair that with $.25 off from Jingit every week on chips and I never pay a buck for a bag and they pair great with cheap avocados made into guac.
Did the Clancy tortilla chips used to be in a paper bag and now are in a plastic bag?
No, they were always in a plastic bag, but they changed designs? You might be thinking of the El Milagro ones.
I think the following at Aldi's is great and I purchase on a regular basis: Clancy's tortilla chips because of the flavor and price, knockoff corn chips, the olive oil, the cooking spray (butter or olive oil based, can't remember which), the dry spices (onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano - all great, good size and great price), raisins, knockoff chocolate chips, half and half, butter, the milk (but price depends on where you go), eggs (again, price), iceberg lettuce, carrots, potatoes, celery, (although sometimes they're bad), onions (sometimes bad and drippy), lemons, cheese, cream cheese (the full fat kind) (and I think it is 89 cents til the weekend or tomorrow!!, softener salt (although it is NOT the rust removing kind), the REALLY great CHEESE pizza that is in the refrigerated section, (NOT frozen), it is huge, and tasty - be aware, though, that that box it comes in is very big and takes up a whole shelf in the fridge, so if you decide to get one, be sure you have the room, and/or plan to bake it soon (or just remove the box?).
I will NOT buy the frozen hamburger in the rolls (the really big rolls) -
We LOVE their fresh take and bake type pizzas!!! We hardly ever order pizza anymore! We almost weekly get (1)cheese, (1) pepperoni and (1)sausage pizza for our large family. Its the one meal that every single person likes. The cheese is (I believe) a 6 Cheese blend; the Pepperoni has round traditional and chopped/diced pepperoni, and the sausage has really good flavor. The crust also has great flavor!
Their ketchup is really good and I think that all of their nuts are reasonably priced as well. Oh, and Milk!
Will Buy:
Produce (be careful because it is not always the longest lasting produce)
Milk (generally cheaper unless there is a deal at CVS (but I don't always get to CVS)
Butter is currently $1.89
Bagged Salad is only $.99
Dried fruit (their dried pineapple which thankfully at least last time I bought it was not a product of China)
Ice cream bars - larger quantity and good price
Will Not Buy:
Bread - DH does not like their bread
Bacon - I only bought it once and am so scarred from the experience I will never try it again
I think their dried fruit is a great price, especially the dried cherries and cranberries. I love their cottage cheese and sour cream. It is just so good! And the price for the sour cream and cottage cheese is a great deal. I also LOVE their frozen fruit pies. You cannot go wrong with any of them and their price seems to linger at $3.99-4.99 for apple and triple berry. When the strudel is available I will get that too, but that is only around special times. The frozen fruit is good too. I do NOT like their mac and cheese. Yuck. If you have the chance to try the Aldi Mexican pizza, I would highly recommend it. It is available on occasion and my family fights for this when I make it.
I rarely go there, but I do go there to buy avocados, sweetened condensed milk, their version of Nilla wafers and graham crackers, tortilla chips, and sometimes milk, bread, and tortillas.
Here are some things we buy on a regular basis at Aldi in additions to the things mentioned
Organic Apple Juice
Irish Cream liquor
boxed cheese snack crackers
raisins
steel cut oatmeal
fig bars
Their gluten free bread is AWESOME and is the only bread you can buy that stays soft, doesn't need to be toasted and lasts for more than a few days.
Other will buys:
-almond milk (generally $2.29 is the same price as the Blue Diamond or Dreams w/coupon - the good kind, in the fridge)
-cream cheese (though I really miss the greek yogurt kind!)
-greek yogurt (often flavors go on sale for 30-50 cents at our store)
-quinoa-rice mix (the rosemary one is amazing! and fast too cook too)
-ground chicken/turkey/beef
Will not buys
-flavored chips - all of them taste off somehow
-the pork chops (we had the same experience!)
-dog treats (almost all of them have wheat, rye, or barley in them so I can't touch them)
-toilet paper - can get this cheaper elsewhere
Sometimes buys
-corn chips
-guacamole or ingredients
-fish (often the special buys are not processed in China)
-produce (hit or miss on quality)
-breakfast bars (the good ones are the kind like Clif bars or Fit and Active ones. The gluten free ones are NOT worth it- they are like baby bars LOL).
-Special buys furniture and accessories - I've got two great drying racks from there that are way better than the ones we had from BB&B. Storage bags are of great quality. My mum has 2 of their rugs that are great. And we've got some fun pans and knives that have lasted at least 5 years from there and still work great.
Husband loves the fake Triscuits. 1/2 price and taste better to him. I like the fake Pam, (any flavor) Eggs & milk if they are a good price. Bananas! You have to watch some of their produce though. I bought tomatoes and there was a moldy one hidden under the package. I miss my garden!!!
Most of what I like has already been mentioned with the exception of Heavy Cream $1.89 pint. I also like their hummus.
They have really yummy chocolate....especially the holiday/seasonal chocolate! My son loves when we get the chocolate Santas, ornaments, and gold coins, We look forward to these every year. 🙂 It is extremely affordable, and is good quality chocolate. 🙂 (The only down side is you have to get there fast, because they sell out fast!)
I totally agree with you about the tortillas. I love when I am there at the same time the El Milagro guys are delivering! Those and their avocados were really giving the Villa Park Fruit Market a run for its money in our household. I've also been very happy with their cheeses: I love the aged cheddar in the black wrap, the queso fresco as well as the cotija. I agree about the refrigerated cheese pizza. Every once in a while, we will buy one along with some peppers, mushrooms and the organic spinach (another great buy at $2.49 to fill in between our Costco trips) and make our own veggie pizza and it turns out great! My husband is a fan of their croissants. We also bought those pillow protectors a while back. I always check all the aisles at that store!
Aldi is by far my go to place for organic produce....whatever they carry I buy there cheaper than anywhere else - just hoping they continue to expand their selections. I totally agree on tortillas and spices and baking supplies. Also organic broth. I can't believe no one has mentioned the mama cozzi's frozen pizzas? I know not the healthiest option but for a pizza fix they are like Jack's pizza but cheaper everyday even when compared to deals and coupons and tastier in our opinion.
I love Aldi! Shop there every week!
Things to add to your buy list:
--Honey wheat pretzels in the tub!! So good!
--saltines (only 89 cents/box)
--frozen berries and frozen veggies. Special buy on frozen mango is awesome!
--hummus
--whole wheat bread
--naan
--special buy coconut with chocolate shavings greek yogurt
--honey granola (so good on yogurt!)
--knockoff frosted mini-wheats
--half and half
--lactose free milk
--Moosetracks ice cream
I don't buy:
--yogurts (including greek) they have a weird chunky texture
--their goldfish cracker knockoffs (taste like greasy flour)
--knockoff cheetios (the worst!!)
Love the graham crackers, old fashioned oatmeal,coconut, flour, milk, eggs, fresh mushrooms, Del Monte bananas, tomato sauce, flour tortillas, cream of celery soup, canned beans, dry pinto beans. Love the return policy, but, they usually don't offer me a different item to try, which befuddles me as to why I would want another of the item I returned except if it was defective! Wish they had better quality and price on organic produce. Keep forgetting to try organic tortilla chips if they have them. We go to TJ's, for organic tortilla chips, but, not often, so, it would be easier to pick them up. I don't like their saltine crackers, as they taste stale to me. I don't buy the fresh meat, as every time I looked at it, the sodium count is high. Never liked the nuts. I miss the Kroger american cheese since Food 4 Less left, and found that Aldi has the real stuff. I hope it's good. So happy for the comments, so now I can try the fresh pizza's and a few other items mentioned. I know I can return what I don't like, but, I really don't like to, so, the comments here are great!
Thanks everyone! I'm clearly going to have to try more things there too, lol.
I agree with most of the things above. We buy a lot of groceries from Aldi. I have one to add to the DO NOT BUY list. Aldi Chocolate syrup - YUCK! even the kids agreed it tasted "off"
i agree with most especially produce, bacon bits,cream cheese and milk. And I ALWAYS buy corned beef hash, frozen waffles and Belmont Ice Cream!
What not to buy? Sour Cream. Ewww!
Aldi is my favorite store! Have you tried the chocolate brioche bread? Y-u-m-m-y. The sunflower seed bread is terrific too if you're looking for a healthier alternative. The best part of Ald's is you can get in and out in less than half an hour, the shelves are always well stocked, the cashiers are friendly, and the prices are reasonable. What's not to love?
Snack foods: The Clancy's version of Chex Mix tastes just like the real thing, and so do their version of Cheez-Its.
For those of you having problems with the produce, one of the stores I was at told me they have a produce guarantee like Jewel. I am not sure of all of the details (time frame, etc) but I believe you can take it back and they will replace it. Also, I need to add that my husband is a coffee snob (usually only Gevalia) and he really likes the Donut Shop Kcups from there. They are only $4.79 for a 12 pack.
They have a double guarantee -- if it's bad, they will give back your $ and replace the product.

I love the Milagro tortillas! And the organic canned beans. I've had good luck with the produce, but I really inspect it before I buy. Not always perfect---last week I bought the best grapefruit (maybe 35 cents each?), and organic grape tomatoes, but this week the raspberries were not very sweet. But I've had that problem at other stores, too. Their specialty cheeses can be a great deal, I always check to see what they have. I like the 100% maple syrup, and it's the best price I've found. This week I tried their giardiniero, and we loved it, for half the price of other stores. In and out so fast, no coupons, and I bring my own bag and feel good about not using plastic, too. :))))
Oh my gosh! thank you Kate for the coffee comment... I have been buying their simply organic "k-cups" and they are really good! Taste a lot like donut shop regular cups. Couldn't find them cheaper anywhere so far even after checking costco and amazon but they are a new buy for us the last month or so. I'm very happy to find an organic option priced so well!
we love their hawaiian rolls - the are much more dense than the name brand (which are so airy that I can't cut them to make my kids' sandwiches, they are like a marshmallow, ugh)
also love naan, corn tortillas, mini bagels, veggie chips (much less salty taste than the name brand at Costco/Sam's), clearance meats, *embarassed to say* that we also love pork chops on clearance...I usually cook mine in crockpot or on stove with sauce...so I've never seen anything drain out...I will look now
Routinely shop at ALDI for El Milagros tortillas, avocados, tortilla chips, & Deutsche Küche specials. I haven't heard anyone mention the French & Italian loaves; we throw them in the oven for five minutes and they are fantastic! ...I would be gluten free (& ten pounds lighter!) if it weren't for these babies! 🙂
I will also recommend the chocolate - VERY good. Aldi is a European company and the chocolate tastes like it!
Rachel I think your Aldi must be better then most because some of the produce deals you find. I
rarely
find at mine ( and I go there a lot) I do love their produce though.
Totally agreeing with a lot of the comments above!
Here are a few of mine although I buy much more than this!: goat cheese logs (honey is my fave), goat cheese crumbles, blue cheese crumbles, specially selected salsa (peach mango and black bean & corn), frozen tilapia, salmon, and shrimp, frozen edamame, bagged spinach, bagged kale, whole wheat sandwich thins, honey wheat pretzel sticks, and sweet potato chips.
i love the pasta sauce and the wheat pasta! I love the bagels especially the everything bagels, I especially love the frozen gash Browns! I've been eating them since I was a child and they always taste great!!
I have seen the organic k-cups there and have been wanting to try but my hubby and I are somewhat snobs too I suppose with coffee. I will be giving it a try. I like to browse the clearance items and I pickup organic canned beans there too. Produce is iffy but if they have a good batch/price of something I will grab. A few weeks back I picked up some mini egg rolls on clearance, they were super delicious with our own chicken and fried rice.
I love Aldi's Millville GetBalance cereal - it is not just similar, but has slightly better nutritionals than Kashi GoLean cereal. NOT GoLean Crunch or any of the sugary ones. I also love the selection and European quality of the Choceur chocolates. I haven't tried a lot of things on this list, but will try now. Aldi is in the same building as my Trader Joes, so it's massively convenient!
Do you live on Clybourn? If so, I used to shop that Aldi all the time. I loved it!
Garden special buys are nicely priced
love LOVE their sweet potato chips! I buy probably 90% of our groceries from aldi! Almond milk, fresh pineapple, any produce, really. The only meat we buy there is the frozen chicken tenderloins and the lunch meat (I'm so thrilled they now have nitrate/preservative-free lunch meat, even if it is pricy, it's delicious and worth it), their ciabatta trolls are awesome, oh and when I occasionally need buy an indulgent treat for myself, the organic coconut "ice cream" bars are fantastic! REAL maple syrup at a reasonable price, and I buy the caramel coconut cookies (knock off Samoa/caramel delite Girl Scout cookies) for my fiancé to take in his lunches, they're so tasty I have to hide them from myself! I could rave about aldi for days!!!
I love their bacon and I'm hooked on Millville chocolate coconut bars. buy all my fruits and vegies there.
My oldest loves the Chancy version of Fun'ions (no idea how to spell that), plus they are only $.89 usually. All 3 boys like the chocolate covered granola bars for grab-n-go snacks. I like the everything bagels. My youngest loves the cheese/salsa dip.
Things i love to get at aldis :
-nuts (pistachio +cashew)
- spices (and lemon, almond +vanilla extract)
- organic packaged foods (salsa, beans)
- specialty bread (brioche + ciabatta)
- grass fed beef (when its sale priced)
- gluten free pasta
- international goods (the seasonal & random imported foods)
- wine (you can get a pretty good bottle for $5.)
- kefir & bolthouse smoothies
- toilet paper + paper towels
Skip these :
- cheese (unless its the goat cheese, specialty or the parmesan)
- hummus (they're ok but others are much better)
- meats (unless you plan to eat soon)
- Belmont ice-cream ( just tasted cheap)
- Produce (Our store's is never good. And the prices aren't better than regular grocery store esp in summer)
Almost always choose Aldi for:
Produce
Heavy Cream
Almond Milk
Cheeses especially Goat, Blue and Parmesan
Tomato Juice
Chocolate Chip Muffins (the ones in the bread section)
Baking supplies
Whipped Topping
Cream Cheese
All my go to products are already listed, except one: refrigerated pizza dough. 99 cents and great for calzones and this delectable meat roll that I make with it.
The hot dogs are definitely not good!!
Which hotdogs are you specifically speaking f? My Aldi carries several varieties of hot dogs. Their own brands as well as national brands like Nathan's Famous.
Always buy - graham crackers, dog treats - especially the sticks and bacon, sugar free popsicles !!! Do not like their bread. Produce is hit or miss as I have been buying all my produce at Peter Ruby's in Plainfield.
Aldi's is my usual go to place to quick dinners. I usually buy:
-Milk, Eggs, Cream Cheese, Cheese (Sliced and Shredded Cheese). Not Cheese Slices, Sour Cream
-Produce if I'm going to use it within a couple days. They tend to go bad very fast.
-Tortilla Chips and Tortillas
-Croissants
-Shrimp
-Ground Beef and Turkey
-Spices and Vanilla Extract
-Special Buys for the house...I got an Egg and Muffin Maker, Cast Iron Skillets, Veggie Chopper, Kitchen Mats and probably more..lol
Also, the Chocolate Cake which is like 2.99 is great. I buy one at least once a month..haha.
I forgot....
I love their Wine. The Winking Owl Moscato is delicious and Knockoff Malibu Rum is really good and I try to stock off when it's back in stock.
THE BEST COFFEE K-CUPS OF ANYONE! And I'm a former coffee snob.
$2.49 for the 16 oz bag of quinoa!!
I agree with a lot of your picks I few more i like buying there is vegetable oil, flour, milk always on a sale for .99 cents a couple times a month a we go threw a gallon per day so that's always a great buy
I love Aldi. I almost exclusively shop there nowadays. I save so much money!
Aldi favorites:
Organic salsa $1.69 LOVE
Raisin bran cereal and crispy oats (their Cheerios)
Milk
Eggs this week were 49 cents
Organic fair trade whole bean coffee $4.79!! (Seriously so good)
Organic spinach $1.99 on special usually $2.49
Love the Never Any line of minimally processed meat without nitrites/nitrates (chicken, bacon, deli meat)
Bread
Hummus (roasted pine nut and roasted garlic... yum!)
Brown rice and quinoa
Frozen salmon
Aldi chex mix
I could go on and on. Aldi is the best and it allows me to give my family organic food for a fraction of what it costs elsewhere.
The best canned tomato sauce, the American cheese slices, not the cheese food slices. Really liked the american cheese at Food 4 Less better, but, they closed and left my area. Aldi brand is pretty decent. The graham crackers taste the best and are cheap. I think most of the stuff is pretty good, and if not, they have a great return policy, so it's worth giving them a try. I recently tried their milk chocolate chips and didn't really care for the taste out of the bag, but, when I baked them into the cookies, they tasted just fine?
My go to at Aldi are:
Eggs and milk (Super cheap at the one on east side of Bolingbrook)
Heavy whipping cream
Dried fruits and nuts for home made trail mix and granola
Yogurt, I love their organic vanilla and plain yogurts. At $2,99 a tub, cheaper than most name brands.
Prosciutto, unless it's on sale at Meijer, it's cheaper at Aldi. LOVE the stuff. And the one from Aldi seems to be sliced more evenly.
Cereals. They taste just as good, and I don't have to go coupon hunting. We don't eat much of it though.
Also, cream cheese and bagels. I don't eat bagels, but the kids LOVE their cinnamon-raisin bagels.
Chocolate covered cookies/biscuits. They're like LU biscuits. And MUCH cheaper!
We do the majority of our shopping at Aldi as well. I would add that we love their Honey Crunch and Oats cereal, Frosted Wheat Squares cereal, and Kids Krunch. Kids think these taste better than the name brands! However, some recipes have changed...we no longer buy their version of Honey Nut cheerios.
Aldi is an amazing way to get the staples you need for your pantry without breaking the bank. You are so right about baking supplies being cost effective here!
Great tips! I like Aldi. they have some great products! I agree on the cheese cups. I also love the cold coffees they sell.
Whenever the boyfriend and I drive by our local Aldi on the way to our usual grocery store, I always mention that we should stop there first to take advantage of the deals. Next time, I think I'll make him stop...Great post!
I agree I love Aldis and they are a great way to save money on food. I love that they have organic foods too, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this. My town is finally getting an Aldi and I honestly haven't been in one before. I'm sure this will help me pick out the right items. Thanks for this!
I THINK MY ALDI IS NO LONGER CARRYING SOYMILK! They had coconut milk where the soy milk used to be! Love how they now carry whole wheat pizza dough in the refrigerated section.
I just bought it at mine yesterday, so hopefully they were just out temporarily!
I was told at my Aldi that they discontinued the boxed non dairy milk. I loved the coconut and was going to try another variety. The price was great and they had a lot less junk in them than the other organic brands I looked at. I hope he was wrong and they are coming back, but, the shelf space was no longer there.
I was referring to the refrigerated ones.
I buy lots there! Their eggs are huge and seldom over 79 cents
Gallons of milk, cottage cheese, sour cream,
cheese, bagged salads, the Archway knock-off
cookies, the chocolate bars...yum! We own a
mom & pop ice cream store (formerly a DQ) and
I buy lots of things there. We melt the very dark
specialty chocolate bar for an add-in to our concretes.
We buy milk there for our hand mixed shakes! Lemons
are usually a great price and quite large for our hand-
squeezed fresh frozen lemonade slushes!
We buy the whipped cream there too for Sundae topping!
I'd really miss it if we didn't have an ALDI'S nearby!
Their large Sea Scallops,pork potstickers,frozen mozzerella sticks,potato skins,and jalapeno poppers are delicious ( not the healthiest,but good for quick nights with pizza,rasberry vinaigrette,blueberry cereal bars,and protein bars,spicy pork rinds,chicken breast,produce.
A MUST buy at Aldi’s when in season is their Shepherds Pie! (Bremer is the brand) I like the way it tastes & it’s a great quick comfort food dish dinner when you don’t have the time or just don’t feel like making or cooking dinner, I’m not saying it’s the Best Shepherds Pie I ever had but considering the price & convenience of only having to open the box, removing the film & popping in your oven both a Microwave or Conventual (Gas or Electric) will do, I prefer a Conventual Gas Oven over a Electric but both cooked the dinner better than a Microwave Oven, again my opinion only, I have other favorites from Aldi but I will save them for another time.
