Aldi is a quirky little grocery store. The selection is limited, but the price is right! Aldi claims that its store brand products are often made by the same manufacturers that make regular national brands. For instance, we think that their tomato soup tastes like Campbell's, but it costs a lot less. Here are some other things that we like from there (with very approximate prices):
1) Tortilla chips for $1.
2) Cheap baking supplies & spices (generally less expensive that Wegmans/Walmart)
3) Bags of fresh spinach for $1.30.
4) Sour cream, butter, cream cheese for...cheap (I can't remember)
5) Diced canned tomatoes for 45 cents
6) Frozen ground turkey for 1.80/lb
7) Apple juice concentrate for 90 cents
If very low prices make you nervous (is this really turkey?) you should read their explanation of how they cut costs. One way is to have you pay a quarter to rent your cart (you get it back!) and bring your own bag (or you can buy one for 6 cents). The whole cart-deposit/use your bag model is a very European thing to do...which is why you should feel very chic and cosmopolitan when you shop at Aldi.
