Aldi... what do you recommend?

is this thread not about Aldi food recommendations? 🤔 can we leave all the talk about the bloody baskets? no one wants to read pages about their baskets.

Anyone know if the tubs of peanut butter that look like dupes of Meridian are any good? And if Lidl is better than Aldi or the other way around?

I think the Aldi stuff is really bland and not worth the calories. Haven't tried the Lidl PB. Tbh, I only buy Pip & Nut these days, it's a bit more expensive but much nicer than the others (including Meridian).

They're excellent imo. 100% nuts, I add my own flaked sea salt to taste.

Aldi's I've found has a slightly over-roasted taste at times, but there's always some variance with batches I think

I got the Aldi one this time. I mostly use it for mixing with whey protein powder in a shake, so I don't suppose flavour matters much - but if it's nice i occasionally have it on a cracker so hope this one is nice!

I was talking with a staff member about the pizzas. He went & got a box to show me. Three varieties are package together - spicy meat feast, the excellent barbecue chicken & bacon & cheese. The majority of the box is just Cheese - so they end up with a freezer full of pizza that few people want.

Edit: I just received this from Aldi

Thanks for getting in touch about your visit to our store.

I'm sorry you couldn't find what you wanted. We try to ensure we don't run out of anything, but some of our lines come in mixed cases, and we have to sell everything in the case before we get a new one.

So, if everyone's scrambling for the chocolate cookies, but no one touches the raisin ones, it could take a while before we can order a new batch.

Thanks for letting us know about this, though. Hopefully, the sourdough chicken and bacon pizzas and other items you need will be in stock by your next visit.

Thank you for understanding. 

Is their Sriracha any good? Only €1.49 at the moment but if it's rank i won't bother.

No! This is like saying "ketchup is ketchup" or "mayo is mayo"

I tried these new icecreams this week..

The white chocolate is super sweet, and the coconut flavour overwhelms everything else.

Sadly, I do not recommend unless you like really sweet.

I might be wrong or have a bad memory but these ones seem smaller than the original ones.

Has anyone tried the Wagu beef steaks from Aldi? Have gone in 3 separate occasions in past 2 weeks around Aldi’s in Galway and always gone. Plenty of the wagu beef burgers and meatballs though

Just received an email from Aldi Ireland.

They are ceasing their Click and Collect grocery service from 19th August 2024.

Oh well, all the more for Dunnes and Tesco.
