Ok I keep seeing Aldi’s pop up. What types of things do you save on at Aldi’s we have one but I havent been in there but once and didnt find anything then so I havent been back. I am a little afraid to try off names on some things.
Can anyone give me an idea on what brands are good in there and what products to stay away from?

The $.99 salard dressing is great too. Some of their prices have really gone up but they are still a good option. They sell small appliances under the Crofton brand which they stand by.
I have recently returned a Pressure cooker after 2 years without any problems….great customer service. Hope this helps.

I get most of my canned goods and pantry items. They also have some meats and frozen foods. It is mostly their brand foods. I was told it was a farm co-op, but I am not sure.
My family loves the taste of everything. I have not found anything I did not like. I know that our store will allow you to return anything you do not like.

Thanks for your opinions, I have been wondering about Aldi food as well. I went back in October, which is when the one in our town first opened. I was disappointed because they didn’t have anything in stock that was in the sale flier that I thought I might like.
Maybe now that they have been open a few months they are better stocked and I will try them again.

Thanks for this tip. They sell small appliances under the Crofton brand which they stand by. THis is good to know, I’ve always walked past that section in the store.
I usually try to go to Aldi’s every two month’s to stock up. I’ve never found any canned goods that the family didn’t care for. Usually their milk & eggs are cheaper there also.

can’t be beat in price. Their soups and veggies are also good. Haven’t tried their boxed potatoes or rices because I stock up on that stuff as well as pasta sauces when they go bogo and i have coupons, also don’t get much of their frozen things for the same reason(usually just buy fit n trim turkey meatball there).
the whipped topping (like cool whip) is good, as well as their ojconcentrate. always get their bread, hd &hb buns, bagels, english muffins. check their fresh meats, sometimes they have a $2 off sticker on them.The only cereal we get is the rice crispies and corn flakes and dh says they’re just as good, as well as the graham crackers and vanilla wafers.
you won’t find everything you need at aldi’s but they pretty much keep the same stock and you will learn what you can save money on.
wish mine was located closer to me so i could go more often.i hate running out and having to pick something up that i know i could have gotten cheaper there. -

We are Aldi shoppers as well. A couple of weeks ago one of the talk shows had on the cEO of Aldi and he said a lot of their canned/packged items are from name brand companies with the Aldi brand logo’s on them. Please give them a try.

I especially love the frozen petite green beans at Aldi’s, they are very good. I also get the stirfry veggies and every so often the Romaine and peppers if they look good.

will shop there more often now because, they now take bank debit cards and i have plenty of reusable tote bags to use.
i agree the canned googs and other pantry items are good, was not impressed with the meat, also the dairy items seemed to be a little higher in price (but they are high everywhere in mn).
i found that their drink mixes (koolade, tea) where much cheaper, as well.

Most Aldi’s products have a label that says double your money back guarantee. If you don’t like the product they will give you your money back and give you another item. There are a few things from Aldi we don’t like.
Of course in my humble opinion wal mart brand generic soda is hard to beat. We shop Aldis every week, we go their first because they don’t carry everything then whatever we can’t get at Aldi’s we buy at Wal-mart.

I use alot of cream soups and baking items and aldis is really cheap. We only have 5 grocery stores here and 3 of those are the same store. Aldis sugar is a 5lb bag for $1.89 and walmart’s is $2.99 for a 4lb bag!

* Just a reminder, most of the items you get at Aldi’s are made by the brand name stuff you buy somewhere else.
Happy Shopping:clap:
