There are many things that Aldi does right, from the discounted groceries to the random yet tempting impulse buys calling out from the "Aisle of Shame."
If you had any doubts about the chain's popularity, consider its ambitious expansion plans for this year.
Aldi's fresh produce is locally grown, so any quality issues could be traced back to local suppliers instead of indicating a widespread defect with the chain's fruit and veggies.
Aldi shoppers certainly aren't shy about their (ahem) negative feelings about the chain's canned Corned Beef Hash, which is sold under a private label brand called Brookdale.
Like with Aldi's fresh produce, there are many customers who would go to bat for Aldi's meat and others who say they avoid it entirely.
A great alfredo sauce should be creamy, cheesy, and salty, but Aldi customers describe the chain's take on this popular pasta sauce as "horrible" and "off-tasting."
If you have a large family that has no trouble quickly downing a whole loaf of bread, you might never have any issues with the selection at Aldi.
If you're not all that familiar with Aldi, just know that one of the ways the retailer saves customers money is by offering many off-brand versions of the name-brand products you'll see at other chains.
