Disappointing Fruit and Aldi
Over the months as I have bought food from Aldi there is one thing that is usually disappointing. It is the Aldi fruit. I have yet to find reliable fruit that looks good tastes good and lasts. The only exception would be during strawberry season. Then they had good local berries that were very tasty and were not over-ripe. I have not bought apples, grapes or bananas there because many of them are spoiled. The vegetables on the other had have been very good on a regular basis. I can always find beautiful peppers, yellow, red and green, as well as mushrooms, cucumbers, tomatoes and broccoli. All these have been good and never disappoint.

Wendy,
ReplyDeleteStephanie Rex and I were just talking about this today! I agree that produce needs to be looked at with a fine-tooth comb at Aldi. I buy my bananas there, but my kids each eat 2 per day, so we eat a lot of those here! I also like their apples, but other fruit is often bruised or overripe. Their zucchini has always been great and we like their sweet potatoes.
However, today I was there (at the one on 434 and 436 by JoAnn's) and they had flowers for $1.99/bunch! Wooohooo! I got some for our kitchen table. I love the way fresh flowers brighten up the house.
I agree. Never had a problem with vegetables but the fruit doesn't look too appetizing to me, especially if it's in plastic wrap.
ReplyDeleteI was just listening to Clark Howard on the radio. I didn't know that Aldi is a German-owned corporation. Have you heard of HEB grocery? Primarily in Texas but inexpensive as well.
