-- Is Aldi really that good of a deal?
We have this week off - this will be my last NFT thread.

I went to Aldi to grab a handful of things, they're definitely not yet all organic (not sure when that is supposed to happen) - but yeah - I basically got the following for $35

- sour cream

- 2.5 lbs of ground beef - formed like burgers - they were out of regular (bulk) packages.

-5 envelopes of taco seasoning

- pack of shredded cheddar

-12 pack of off-brand orange soda

- one onion

- two small tomatoes

- one head of iceberg lettuce

- one package of chocolate chip cookies (very good i might add)

- 1 lb of fair trade dark roast coffee

- 16 ounce container of half and half

- one package of soft-taco size flour torts.


I guess one would see the true savings if they were buying hundreds of dollars of groceries for a family. But I didn't see it as much different than going to Publix or Kroger and buying their off-brands.


Advantages:
most everything tastes pretty good, even the ground beef.
fair prices
single onion w/ the potatoes - not charged and left w/ it.
cookies were really good!
going all organic soon??

Disadvantages:
lack of finding an employee when you have a question.
out of ground beef (bulk) - in their defense we have an ice storm coming...
they only sell onions in huge bags, not individually - luckily i found a loose one.
coffee is meh in flavor.
no bags, nor boxes to use. (again i get it, it's to save costs on your bill)
not yet all organic.

I'll be back but never for my main groceries.

Aldi has some pre-packaged chicken salad that is legit. Cranberry almond or somesuch, but it's very good and cheap. Won't buy meat there and really don't every shop at one, but I can see the draw.

Their snack food is just fine if you're getting munchies.

I'm weird about meat too - if it adds any consolation or comfort, their ground beef graded out fine w/ me, it was closely inspected while cooking and eating.

Aldi Peanut Butter is pretty good. I was pretty much raised eating Aldi frozen burritos for lunches but they aren't the same anymore.

They continually get different stock on the wine, but aside from their really cheap bottles, the $2.99 stuff, I haven't had a bad(relative) bottle from them, and some have been pretty good.

I had a bad experience there before when I tried their milk and it was bad 2 days after I purchased it despite an expiration date that was much later then when it actually expired.

Having said that, I won't buy milk and eggs or meat, but I like to purchase some things from Aldi:

-brown sugar
-spices
-condiments
-canned foods
-chips
-frozen fruit
-bread

You just gotta be picky about what you want

We have an Aldi that sits below a Trader Joe's, so it's always fun to play hipster or poor in the parking garage.

Aldi has the best price on unrefined coconut oil. Usually $2 cheaper than any other local groc. store.

I am a fan of ALDI. My biggest issue with them has always been their produce. Everything else I feel is just fine.
