[quote=Anonymous]Honestly I love Aldi. Sometimes I love it more than Trader Joes or Publix. The prices are incredible, but truthfully, so is the quality.

Definitely it's not like a whole foods shopping experience. It is very bare bones. But since I have cut my grocery bills in half, it's totally worth it. Plus there are little surprises here and there. The chocolate, yogurt, German goods, and Some (let me emphasize some) of the frozen foods are better than you'd find at any grocery chain. If it looks like something you've seen at trader joes, it IS something you have seen at trader joes. Their produce could be better quality, but i would rather pay 89 cents for a pint of blackberries (this week's Aldi price) than 3.99 for a slightly better looking berry at whole foods (sorry for slamming them, but I shop there quite a bit too). Their milk is ridiculously cheap and quite good. The meat is great too. The deli meat is incredible. And they sell great cheese. They also have Brie, Edam, asiago, goat, and Stilton cheese for cheaper than TJs. The jam is beyond delicious.

Downers- their bread is only okay in my opinion (their sliced lunch bread is great though), and you must be careful with their frozen foods as some is not great and very unhealthy. But I feel that is the case with almost every super market. I'm talking about frozen prepared foods, not their terrific frozen green beans, peas, etc.

I think in Aldi you get great value for your money. I honestly try to only shop there, and it has helped a ton in keeping us in budget.  And while the clientele is often downmarket (for the low prices), their stores are heavily monitored by the police (always a police cruiser there at bladensberg[/quote]
