Another Aldi's Great Find!

hoosieroriginal — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 19:09:50 GMT

I love Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream.... Well, I found Aldi's version called "Thank you Cherry Much", packaged much like Ben & Jerry's version. It is so good and tastes just like the Ben and Jerry's. Another reason I love Aldi's!

Always great when Aldi lovers find something great and new, or something new but not so great share their info.

This is great to know - thanks Ms Hoosier!

@ballyk - you will LOVE Aldi - you can buy twice the amount of groceries for the same money. Panera is the best also - I bet your town is excited!

We're getting a Whole Foods, Aldi's and one that begins with a U nearby in the next few months. Woo hoo !

I think I must be the only person in the world that was not impressed with Aldi's, unless it's just our location.

I've heard that their items are foreign made. That's too scary for me.

Why? Their pastas and many sauces are made in Italy, and they use many products made in Germany and Austria. Many countries would be afraid of all the ****** the FDA lets us put in our food. We don't even come close to being the best or the safest food wise. Now if you were talking about China, I could undertand. They have some great stuff like cookies and candies around Christmas time too. You should give it a try, they have GREAT STUFF! The chocolates are great!

I got a SILPAT liner for $3.99 and a digital thermometer for $4.99. It is the kind that you can put into the meat (or whatever you are cooking) and it has a magnet that goes on the oven door. You can set the temp and it beeps when done. I have seen this priced around $30 everywhere else.

Aldi is a German company so it makes sense that some of their products are made in Europe. I love their German chocolates and desserts. They're as good as much more expensive stuff that we get in regular supermarkets.

I used to love shopping at Aldi's but our store closed and the nearest one is twenty miles away so don't get there very often. I do like to check out their 'special' buys sometimes too.

I'm with you. There must be a drastic difference between locations, because no one would be singing the praises of the one near me. I already have to go to two different stores to get my weekly shopping done. There's absolutely no reason I need to add Aldi's to the list.

@Puzzle Piece - You'll be missing out if you don't try it. Their Fit and Active line is absolutely great - most of their products are more healthy than what you will find at your regular grocer. I even buy my meat there and I swear it tastes so much better than at my grocer - not to say a whole lot cheaper!

I think Aldis owns Trader Joes. We have TJ here, but I'd like to have Aldi too if they have different items. My friend shops at Aldis in Germany.

Love Aldis.. and have not tried the ice cream. One thing however, sometimes they carry products for a limited time and they are not repeated. I have to buy more than I need to keep a supply of what I truly love. They had chocolate crepes from Breakfast Best and they have not returned in 2 years. I beg for them and they just don't seem to take me seriously. Also getting a Whole Foods, and we do have a Panera. Wish we had a Trader Joes but our area is more rural... although growing by leaps and bounds.

I find Aldi very hit or miss. Their knock off Doritos /Cheetos are tasteless. Just threw out their ice cream (regular kind, in oval like container) it was like whipped air. Very basic. I got their flyer and ribs were on special. I went 5 days into sale and was told - "while supplies last, they are sold out". That is so cheesy. No regular grocery store would say that. No raincheck offered. I do not go out of my way to shop there. I do not find the savings 50% off either. I paid $3 for strawberries.
