I used to love aldi but lately every time I go I leave feeling frustrated I couldn’t find what I wanted. Maybe it’s just the locations around me but like core staples of food are just missing. Their canned vegetables section sucks. I needed like Lima beans and stewed tomatoes. Had neither but there’s a whole aisle of useless made for TV level crap appliances and home decorations or whatever.
I get it, I can get a few things to get me through the week there and a lot of the off-brand foods do save you some cash. But I’ve been burned on needing something for a meal and having to run out somewhere else too many times.
I have always believed that if you enter Aldi with a shopping list, you leave with groceries, but nothing checked off your list. You don’t shop at Aldi for specific items, you shop at Aldi for deals.
Maybe if the old, demented, orange TACO didn’t put outrageous tariff on every country there would be a better selection, ya think?
Still, people voted for this. A third of the country would do it again tomorrow.

regular store with regular prices for a shopping list. aldi is all about random discounted things.
