Aldi is name brand quality stuff with a generic price point.
I get most of my condiments there. Their produce is okay but I'll get it on sale. For essentials they're usually a dollar cheaper and high quality. They're also some of the few stores that still do a heavy discount on almost expired food. Walmart only knocks off 25% but I've seen Aldi go as high as 75% before. I got 4lbs of really high quality chicken there before for $3.50. Cheapest Tofu and eggs around. Cheese is more expensive for some reason. Same with name-brand chips although their own chips are really good and decently priced.
The only problem I have is that I could have even more savings if I bought stuff in bulk but they only seem to carry smaller portions. I wouldn't even car if they're the same price per ounce, I just don't want 5 bottles of mustard in my pantry when one big one would do.
every time i get meat at the local aldi i can only count on it being edible for like 3 days tops, so i rarely buy my chicken there, but everything else has been good.
If I didn't pre-cut and freeze it than I wouldn't buy more than a dinner's worth at a time. Luckily the fridge the previous tenant left behind had one or else I'd be screwed lol.
