[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do the majority of my grocery shopping from Aldi, with Costco as a close second. I appreciate Aldi because you can get Costco prices, but not have to commit to the much larger amounts. While there have been some items I don’t like from Aldi, the vast majority of their products are great! Some people are snobbish about it, so that might affect their perception. I admit some Aldi’s are better than others, but a clean, well-stocked Aldi is a thing of beauty![/quote]

I’m not snobbish. I already have like four stores in rotation and don’t have the patience for ALDIs limited selection. We also don’t drink milk or eat cheese so it really isn’t helpful. Their gluten-free products are horrible. [/quote]

Aldi GF multigrain bread is by far favorite of all the GF breads I’ve tried in the last 10 years. I like their GF pasta too. I don’t eat a lot of processed food so not sure about their other GF items.

I find the Aldi selection is pretty fantastic. I love it that there are 2 kinds of peanut butter, for example - organic/no sugar, and regular with sugar. I get the organic and I’m done. Who needs 20 kinds of PB to choose from? They don’t have a great selection of spices, just the basics, so we do sometimes have to get those at Giant. But for the most part, Aldi selection is exactly what we need.

I find their produce to be on par with every other grocery store in terms of quality, and much less expensive. Except sweet potatoes. For some reason sweet potatoes at our Aldi are always crap. We also stopped buying steak there because it’s just not very good, but the organic ground beef is, especially for the price. The organic chicken is the same as the regular grocery store, not as good as what we get from the butcher at the farmers market (but the grocery store is not that good either).

We’ve never been able to do 100% Of our shopping at Aldi, but I don’t think most people do all their shopping in one place. It is really a great store.
