An Aldi opened up near me 2 months ago and I'm exclusively shopping there now because it's cheaper than the other local grocery stores. Just wanted to share the news with others who may be looking to save some money on groceries.
Growing up in a small town in the South it was kind of crazy when Aldi and Lidl set up nearby. Not only are the prices so much better on nearly everything but in general the quality of the products was much better than at existing local grocery stores.
The only thing is they're (especially Aldi) missing a few things that either someone in my household is fussy about the brand or sometimes some regional things. Like you're not going to find some of the particular ingredients you might want when cooking soul food.
While I'm absolutely stoked that I can finally buy gruyere in Kansas thanks to Aldi, I do agree that sometimes they just don't have the specific things. Fortunately there's a Thai grocery and a tortillaria down the road from mine, between the 3 I haven't needed to even consider Walmart for food.
Combo of Aldi's and a local store got me through college. Got cheap as fuck meat (bless $3/lbs ground pork) at the local store, everything else at Aldi's
Dude, even as an adult, my meal planning is walking into the store and seeing what's on sale and going from there.
Whatever meat was on sale. Fry it up in a pot. Add some bbq seasoning. Take off the heat, stir in some cheese. When that's melted, add an egg, whatever bbq/hot sauve you want. High protein tacos for cheap, lived off that for a real long time, and they're actually damn good
It's also often better groceries, especially the fruit and veggies.
The apples there taste a lot sweeter than the Ralph's (Kroger) I used to go to.
Aldi is awesome. As someone who pseudo-homesteads, if I can't grow it or raise it, I buy it from Aldi. It's the next best thing.
My dude, their seasonal coffees and every chocolate product in that building, you gotta try them! Those little burnt caramel chocolate bars at the checkout are more decadent than any premium chocolate I've ever bought!
I thought, from the tone in the beginning and what you’re responding to, that you were gonna say something bad - now I’m even more excited to start shopping there again.
Lol I totally see that now, but nah they're amazing! They had a blueberry one a while ago that taste like a blueberry muffin dipped in coffee. I don't mean similar, I mean so very close that I expected to find soggy crumbs at the bottom of the cup.
