Aldi has a few good things:
- knockoff Girl Scout Samoas (Benton's)
- their cheese is pretty good
- some of their salad dressings are good
- dried fruit
- their house brand onion dip is about the same as Dean's at half the price, but I have cut out having chips in the house so oh well...
- Mamba fruit chews in the check out line are at a good price compared to other grocery stores
I have both Aldi and Lidl near me. Lidl has a decent little bakery for things like soft pretzels (usually 3/$1) and inexpensive baguettes, and they used to have good knockoffs of Nutrigain bars, but not much else.
aldi used to be trash food when i was a kid. these days theyre on par with pretty much any name brand. theyre not a crazy savings like they were back in the 90s, but still a noticeable amount better price and the quality is great.
but they dont have the variety that you sometimes prefer for various reasons. most of the time though, i default to aldi for efficiency. get in, walk less than a mile, get out. try that at woodmans.
