Chocolate
Since wine is a common Aldi shopping staple, it makes sense to have chocolate as well. The German company officially deals with a lot of European suppliers, which means that they do have a lot of imported products, including chocolate. According to The Kitchn, you can find high-quality, tasty chocolate at Aldi for as little as $2 per 4.4 ounces.
You’ll be saving a bit of dough with the next one…..

I don’t like their store since they remodeled it and change the arrangement. They also quit handling noodles. They had the most wonderful German noodles. I can’t even buy many of the things I used to buy. Also no oysters at Thanksgiving time. Their prices also have increased. Don’t shop there anymore.
Don’t like produce and fruits and vegetables at front of store, always a traffic jam trying to get into store.
Why ?????????
Most of their Bread is not freshly baked- NO.
Cheese is mostly from Wisconsin. I like real french, danish, Scandinavian cheese.
I’m wanting to buy a case of Three Cheese vinaigrette salad dressing. I love it and cannot find anything that comes close to it. Can you help me?

I wish We had an Aldi’s near Bay Minette, Al.
I shopped at one in Racine, Wi. years ago..
Why can’t I buy stock in Aldi’s?
Since it is supposed to be German, why can’t I ever find items like Marzipan, sour cherries ( juice or canned ) Vanilla sauce, German Cervelate or Leberwurst,etc ?
Their items are seasonal. When it’s “German” week you can find those items and also around Christmas time.
Great store…Not much from China…I like…Great prices…Check out Apple Juice from Turkey…All other stores from China…Good Job ALDI
Do any of the ALDI stores in Connecticut sell wine?
You should understand the low prices are due to them carrying 90% private label merchandise and having a minimum selection. where as in another store you might have 5 brands of margarine here you will not. 4 brands of bacon but not here etc. Selection is very limited. Meat, chicken and fish are no different one brand for all.
Our stores here do sell German fare. I believe they sell several items in October that are German, including the best sour cherries you ever tasted. These are in glass jars, not steel cans. There whole wheat round snack crackers put Ritz brand to shame. I just wish they would continue to sell the frozen onion rings.
The wine review is right on! I love the Winking Owl brand.
The milk I bought at Aldi smelled and tasted musty. Not good!
It also expired a week
early.
I like shopping at ALDI. Prices are reasonable. Wish they had wine in East Rutherford, nj. Much much from China & that’s a good thing
I can certainly vouch for the chocolate and the wine, and they have my favorite Deutsche Kueche bread!
I love Aldi-since I’ve been shopping there I have saved $$ and tried different items that we all have likes. Their meat prices are lower and they are the same name brand as in the other markets. Have told all my friends and now they love it too.
Years ago Aldis stopped having the dark pumpernickel bread. I’m very disappointed. No even for holidays. The coffee has changed. I enjoyed getting special flavored ones around holidays and that stopped also.
The egg prices sky rocketed and got smaller . I can get them cheaper at giant eagle.
My family is vegan & we appreciate any vegetarian/ vegan items!
Hi Mary,
I use to buy the German noodles they were great.
I looked around and found very similar type of noodles at Shopite 3rd and Oregon. You might wanna check it out.
Originally from PA Dutch country, I’ve lived 30 yrs in So. Cal fattening on “Hispanic cuisine” (mostly fast food, no matter if ordered in a “fancy” restaurant, most of it swimming in lard. Some call us the land of “fruits & nuts,” but to me, it’s the land of taco & pizza palaces, & fake nail bars. You can’t pass a corner without seeing one or all). I nearly cried when we got an Aldi in our small (growing) inland town & found many German foods. Someone already said it—they are mostly in the jarred section. That said, Aldi canned soups are the best. Tastes “homemade” & a blessing for someone who packs a lunch for work everyday, esp. for a warm, filling meal on those days when you need that sort of comfort. Christmas feels more like home to me now b/c of the seasonal foods Aldi carries. I know they don’t carry all the things I miss….but living where I do, Aldi putting in a store here was huge for me.
you like multi-brands selection at twice the cost then keep shopping and paying more else where. If you want good products that are equil to those over priced items we had to except for decades then do as i do and build your meals around Aldi’s specials.
I love to shop Aldi’s. I used to live in Chicago suburbs and shopped two Aldi’s near my home. Now I live in Queen Creek, Z. When will they open new Aldi store in
Queen Creek, AZ?
I love Aldi – I love saving money – and I love saving time! I know where things are and I can get in and out quickly…. No frills but great products!
In Jupiter, Florida we have switched from Publix to Aldi when they came to town within the last year. On our weekly food shopping we save at least $50 or more from what we used to spend at Publix. The quality is excellent and in many cases better. They have a great selection of meats and fish including grass fed beef and wild grown fish and shell fish at crazy prices. The $2500 to $3000 savings a year is real and great now with the high inflation !
Aldi has been our main food buying source for several years & we’ve never been disappointed with any of their products, even some ‘snobs’ we told about Aldi’s were won over by the quality & low prices. Our first purchase was jasmine rice, which at that time was pricey, but so good we bought it anyway. The price dropped a lot since, but the great flavor & texture remains. So we began buying fresh produce & milk there & now very seldom go to other grocery stores.
Come visit White House, TN. You will learn why you should have a store here.
I want self-checkouts! I go to the store to buy 6 or 8 things and end up in line behind carts loaded to the top with hundreds of dollars’ of purchases. At a regular grocery store with self-checkouts I can get done and be out in a minute. It’s no big deal to scan items and drop them into the bag or cart again.
Don’t forget beer and eggs. Their premium beers are high quality and cheaper than their counterparts in Walmart.
Been shopping at Aldi’s for years & have never been dissatisfied with any product; their jasmine rice (the kind we prefer), is excellent, prices very reasonable, checkers courteous & fast. Their store brand is as good or better than name brands also. We save money by shopping there & time by not having to clip coupons. Paying cash isn’t a problem either, in fact it’s more efficient, & eliminates ‘impulse’ buying.
I don’t buy canned goods here as they’re labels are dull and unimaginative. They might possibly have the same ingredients in them as Kroger or Albertsons but they aren’t appealing at all. Plus my Aldi doesn’t seem to have much of a selection.
Fell in love with Aldi’s when hubby was in Germany, Was so upset when we left and we did not have an Aldi’s here back then.But now it is here yeahhhh and we love the store and the prices. Keep up the good work in your lovely new stores.
I love shopping at Aldi’s. I love saving time and especially $$$.
I first get the wine, then the chocolate, next is produce, always cheese and other dairy products, lastly the baking section. Check out the various sauces where one only adds meat. One never knows what might be offered at different seasons in the frozen cases. German week is always a treat. They have good prices on salmon, too. Don’t forget the aisle with the various fun items for grans or your home.
I love shopping at Aldis.Keep up the good work !
I love this store. Money always goes further and its great quality.
I’m not particularly happy with Aldi’s milk prices. It seems that they jumped on the bandwagon once all others raised their prices, not that they had to but lets face it, going from just under $2.00/gal. to over $3.00/gal. shows me that they raised prices on milk just for profit, not because they had to keep up with the Kroger’s, Piggly wiggly, etc. Because of the high unnecessary prices on milk I have greatly reduced my other shopping at Aldi’s. Good going money grabbers.
