Hmmm, last time I tried the chik patties, tenders , or nuggets they had a stringy and soft texture I couldn't fix.Should I try again? I used to like them.
Yikes, I hope they aren't stringy.Hmmm, last time I tried the chik patties, tenders , or nuggets they had a stringy and soft texture I couldn't fix.Should I try again? I used to like them.
I did get a couple of the EarthGrown turk'y, fresh brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, cranberries
Was it the almond ice cream?
I've been getting the choc coated E G bars-fruits of the forest--for $2.99. They've had them in the special freezer for so long they should discount them more--and I'd buy them all!
Would like to try the Friendly Farm ALmond Nog for French toast
Agree on the mustard! Same with chips and other crunchy snacks. They used to be under $1 at Aldi, but even at an average of $2 a bag, that's still cheaper than the grocery story. A pound bag of mini pretzels is running $4.50 in the big grocery stores.
They have been having many shortages in my stores. I have two near me, and will use Instacart only to check for availabilty. It's worked well for me, mostly on the canned cat foodInterestingly, I've been to about 3 Aldi locations now and they are slightly different.
Various products are in different locations.
Noticeable differences in the vegan products offered between locations.
None had whole, frozen string beans let alone the thin ones. What is it with people!
One location ( sadly, the one closest to mine ) makes you pay to use a shopping cart. None of the locations offered baskets. None of the locations had a bagging area at the end of their checkout line. I can't see any of those things driving up costs.
That's actually how people in Germany usually do it. Most people don't use the bagging counter. They wheel the cart to their cars, open the trunk and pack their groceries into bags in the trunk.
Agreed, and I do the same with the quarter! I've always liked their system. And there are always carts available with people having to return them to get their quarter back.
That actually makes more sense, unless it's raining or something. You actually cut down on one loading step. I might do that next time.
Oh yeah, during the height of covid you went allowed to bring bags or use counter at all. I like the option. If I only have a few larger items I take to car. I like that you can always get boxes too
And no vegan creamer, not that I buy that often, but I do get it once in a while for iced coffee. I did find Vanilla ice cream, which was nice, and the Moser Roth chocolate raspberry bar (it's delicious!).
I went to Aldi for the first time in a while, and I was a bit disappointed in the lack of vegan items in the freezer section. They had no chik'n products and just veggie burgers. No classic meatless balls, either.
I might try a couple of Aldi stores in other towns. I'm wondering whether my area has enough vegan/plant-based people for Aldi to keep enough vegan items in stock.
I'm so jealous! I think it's my town. It's sort of traditional in my neck of the woods, and people aren't too adventurous when it comes to dining out. If I want to go anywhere decent to eat out, I have to hit up other towns. We used to have a vegan restaurant that was mostly takeout, but to be honest, it was just OK. They went under during the pandemic. Thankfully, there is Divine Treasures for vegan chocolates, cheese and other treats, though.
