My one and only experience with shopping at Aldi was nearly rotten fruit, off-brand cardboard-tasting cereal and stale chips. The price is hard to beat, but I feel too much like a raccoon digging in a dumpster.
My experience as well. Both at Aldi and Lidl. There's also zero consistency week to week. They stock their shelves with whatever the truck happens to bring in. Granted, they're both "discount" grocery stores so I'm not expecting gourmet fare but I'll gladly spend the extra few dollars to shop at our local family owned grocery store that always has great produce, meats, and a wide variety of options.
