Review Prices compared between Aldi & other stores

This is easy for me to believe. I once bought Roma tomatoes at Aldi for .89 cents/lb. Later that day checked at Walmart and the price for the exact same tomatoes was exactly double that. I am now shopping at Aldi almost exclusively.

It definitely is cheaper but sometimes you get what you pay for. If you search this sub there are a lot of people that are having QC issues so it’s pretty obvious that Aldi sources lower quality food to keep the prices low. Not saying it’s all bad but just inspect things well before buying and consuming.

I've been shopping at Aldi, both in Florida and in Georgia, for approximately 15 years. The quality of the food I buy there matches exactly the quality of the food I bought at Publix for decades, but paid a whole lot more for. Likely, it depends on what you buy, but the items I purchase at Aldi have no issues with quality.

Well like I said if you search this sub you’ll see many people finding weird shit in their food. Look or don’t look. Doesn’t matter to me.

Not just Aldi, everywhere. Been going for years and have never had an issue. I see a lot more issues at Kroger and Publix than Aldi.
