The biggest problem we have with ALDI is that it seems the produce goes off way quicker.

For busy families that try and get away with a single weekly shop, that can often result in a fair bit of waste, which negates a good chunk of any price benefit.

These days I don't buy fresh produce from supermarkets, it's always cheaper and better quality at my local independent grocers and wholesale markets.
