Aldi Food Stores Review

Anyone that's been in an Aldi Food Store knows they are smaller than your everyday SUPERMARKET.  That's what I like about them.  I know they don't carry everything; I can deal with that.  I can get in and out usually very quickly.  So what if it's a 'generic' brand if it's just as good?  PRICE MATTERS!  I'm on a fixed income.

Those giant SUPERMARKETS are a nightmare to me.  For example...you need mustard.  As soon as you walk in the door you see a stand with one brand of mustard on sale.  You grab one.  Then, out of curiosity, you wander back to where they keep ALL the mustard.  You find 5 other brands cheaper than the one in your cart!  GEEZ!  I'm just a simple man...don't give me 10 choices.  I'll be there all day trying to decide.  Most men (including me) are simple creatures.  So keep it simple.  I don't want 15 choices in toilet paper. (LOL) 

OK...enough humor.  I've found most of their meat (frozen only) to be good to great.  I didn't care for the frozen steaks though.  That's what I get for splurging.  Their frozen chicken is good.  Their frozen boneless chicken breasts are GREAT!  They have good romaine lettuce.  So make a "blackened chicken Caesar salad".  Mmmm.  Their bread prices blow away the competition.  Pizza anyone?  Their 'Supreme' pizzas are just as good as the higher priced ones.

You want a brand name...go to a SUPERMARKET.  You want a bargain?  Go to Aldi.  You won't find shopping carts littering the parking lot either.  Pay a quarter to get a cart.  Get it back when you return the cart to the staging area.  Why doesn't everyone do this?
