Love Aldi for just about anything other than meat. I refuse to buy meat from Wal-mart or Aldi – no reason other than I just don’t trust it!

It depends on what meat for Aldi… their chicken is not bad but so far I don’t like their pork or beef. But I also don’t eat meat from Walmart either. Pretty sure Walmart has the longest recall list for meat of any store ive ever stepped foot in which is scary. I think their vendors tend to be pretty shady and it shows.

I’ve bought meat plenty times at Aldi’s and it’s always been OK. Their boneless ribs are really good and better than most stores that I’ve tried, plus a great price too. Their boneless pork chops are good as well. I don’t really buy steaks or ground beef, have bought chicken and it’s decent.

Hi I currently work at ALDI and wanted to share a few tips that might make your visit smoother.
ALDI prices will vary geographically from store to store. Even if the locations are a few minutes from one another.

A tip for ALDI’s customers: products that have red lettering or are placed in front of a solid red strip are temporary items called ALDI finds or special buy. These are normally seasonal items and could last anywhere from one week to three months at a time. Unfortunately we don’t have control over when our items onlinee in we can order them but what is happening as of late is products will be out of stock at our warehouse and never make it to the store.

Another tip: If you buy a product, produce, meat, bread, juice, any food item besides alcohol and the quality was not up to your standards we will return that for you, and offer to replace the product at no extra cost. So if you buy ground beef and it spoiled quickly feel free to bring your receipt or the remainder of the product and get your money back and another package. You also have the option of choosing something of equal value to replace it with as well. If you want to return a product and are also buying groceries we can subtract the cost of your return from your groceries as well. This return system is called our double back guarantee.

Another tip: before I shopped at ALDI I was not familiar with the cart system. If you ever forget to bring a quarter and don’t want to carry your items by hand for whatever reason just let an associate know and we will loan you a quarter or cart to use. We also regularly box our products just before we open and late afternoon if you prefer using a box to carry groceries.

Another tip: We go through our produce before putting it out for purchase every morning but unfortunately we may miss some that are not up to standards. If this happens feel free to let any associate know and we will have someone go through it again and throw it out.

Another tip: Our policy states that we don’t bag or box groceries, however if you can’t for whatever reason (hands full with children, sprained wrist or whatever) just let us know and we usually aconlinemodate. If the lines aren’t too long I try to bag and box whenever I can.

Another tip: If you need help shopping for items feel free to let us know! I’ve personally shopped for customers who couldn’t do it themselves for whatever reason.

Bless you if you’ve read this long. Feel free to ask me questions I’ll answer to the best of my ability have a good day!

I have notice they have the Salisbury Steak and Gravy frozen Family Size trays. I hope they have not discontinue the Lasagna variety.

Thanks

Hi VB Vee, I just got one at my Aldi a few weeks ago, and it was delicious! I think they may cost more than that for the family size, but way less than the name brand at the other grocery stores.

VB Vee April 18, 2018 at 8:54 am MST

Thanks Julie,
I just did a search and see they carry it in an 88 ounce size. I haven’t noticed that in the local Aldi I go to. I’ll have to look for it.
We had been getting one that’s around 29 ounces…can’t seem to locate it here lately. My son loves it…and it’s a quick fix entree. We tossed a couple slices of garlic bread/toast along side it and had a easy meal. No leftovers though.

The Aldis boneless chicken breast is just fine. I slice it in half, freeze it and buy the mixed vegetables, their brand of bisquick. And I make myself chicken and dumplings. I also get a carton of chicken stock to add to it. It makes dinner and lunch for me.
Aldis carries a lot of things I buy but their produce can be hit and miss.

I’ve bought the lobster tails from Aldi and they were surprisingly quite lovely! Their marinated carne asada was ok. Plain salmon fillets are nice with a little marinade and baked in the oven. The chicken is a little scary by us as they are abnormally large. I’ve actually had very bad luck with meat from Lidl, always smells bad.

I agree! What in the world do they do to their bananas? I have been an Aldi shopper for 15 years and the bananas have always been terrible which is a shame since they are .26 a pound.

If you are having trouble with the produce try another store if you have that option. It seems to depend on the store.

Aldi is where I do 90% of my grocery shopping now. I’ve never had an issue with any of their meat – other than it’s not that great of deal onlinepared to their other products. The produce seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes the bananas never ripen – they go from green to rotten, the strawberries out of season are awful and I usually have to toss 20% of the apples in each bag because they’re bad. The pineapples are cheap and good and never any issue with potatoes, onions, peppers.

Last week there was a special on frozen strudel you bake at home. We had the apple one the other night. Excellent! It was as good as what we get at the German bakery in Amana (Iowa). And it says on the box it’s a product from Germany. Only regretted we didn’t have any local creamery/dairy ice cream. Canned whipped cream was ok tho in a pinch. Can’t wait to try the forest berry strudel.

For anybody who is gluten-free or looking for gluten free items for friends or family. They have a really great line of gluten-free products it’s the G free line. I have found the bread to be really good and even better than the Udi’s brand. The chocolate baking mix makes awesome gluten free brownies, they have really good gluten free crackers, among other things. I highly reonlinemend that line for Gluten Free People.

I am not understanding what is wrong with their meat. If it is organic doesn’t it follow the same standards? Please let me know. For their fish I really like that it is all sustainable. I usually opt for the select line with the exception of the tilapia, which I do not think is even in the select line.

While I do love Aldi’s, it does seem like their quality is starting to go down. At multiple locations near me, I find their produce just doesn’t last long. I’ve had to throw away stuff I had just bought a couple of days prior because of mold when it wasn’t there when I bought it. Also, about 2 months ago I bought some of their organic chicken broth. When I went to use it that night for soup, it looked too clear. So I tasted it & it was just water with maybe a very very slight hint of flavor. I had hubby taste it as well to make sure I wasn’t crazy. I also had to twist the top off, so it wasn’t tampered with. I contacted the onlinepany to let them know. Also, I’ve finding the more popular it gets, the more the prices are slowly creeping up. It makes me sad because like I said I do love Aldi’s. And you’d think with their increasing popularity they’d make sure to keep quality up & prices down since that’s what they’re known for.

They are not consistent. I like to buy grass fed meat. Not the ground one, They had the meat one time, and afterwards it was missing from the shelve, and getting there sometimes. Employee advised they don’t know when it’s delivered, or not. It is annoying.

In Germany, Aldi Sued has far better quality of food. More organic items. And the cashier’s are letting you look what you are paying. I remember the prices, so that I find them by mistake in their haste charging the products twice.

Don’t forget another cheap product there – condensed soups are only .49. I don’t buy them often, but I do use them to make my chicken enchiladas. Their berry prices are excellent! Our local grocery store sells them for double the price sometimes. I tend to be a produce snob and they can go bad so quickly, regardless where it is purchased. I am also an avocado addict and have a hard time finding a place to beat Aldi’s price for them. It is also a way to be able to buy organic produce at a much more reasonable price.

My store doesn’t have bad produce, but I swear, I had to quit buying apples, pears, peaches, etc there because after a day at home, all these fingernail marks appear all over the fruit. I get shoppers trying to test the ripeness, but do they really have to jam a fingernail in 2 or more pieces in each bag? Very frustrating. Yes, obviously it isn’t Aldi’s fault, but apparently we have a produce pinching issue at our store lol.
