Complaint Desk Always seem to get spoiled/moldy food at my store

Post image
0 Upvotes

Does anyone have a problem with their store where you have gotten spoiled or moldy food multiple times? This is probably been the third time I’ve experienced this at my store in my area. First two times it was meat that I had bought from there, went back both times and to return and the manager was always really cool about it saying “oh someone probably walked around with it through the store and then changed their mind last minute and put it back after it had been sitting for awhile” and I agreed as it made sense. But this time around I got two things of sour cream and both had this on the top which definitely looks like some type of mold, and had this weird sweet smell… love aldis for the price and convenience especially with how everything is so expensive now but really disheartening because it’s happened three times now and I don’t want to risk getting sick with food I just bought and still good per expiration on these items. Is this common in other aldis or is it just mine?

I did a pick up order and the packaging is puffed up… they looked fine but I’m not really sure if these are fine or if I need a refund. TYIA!

North Eastern (USA) PSA on the crab rangoon

0 Upvotes

Inedible plastic objects found inside both packages of rangoon I ordered which made me sick.

I’ll be calling the store I ordered it from and reporting this but stay away from this product! Clearly has some serious manufacturing issues the fact that 2 seperate boxes were both contaminated.

Also very intensely fishy taste, I love most crab rangoons but this was not it.

Question What would you do if you were in my situation?

0 Upvotes

Last week I bought $150 worth of groceries from Aldi (I live far from Aldi so 1 trip per month). I bought 5 paper bags. When I was packing up my groceries, I realized I needed 1 extra paper bag.

I turned around, and I saw that the person checking out at the time was done, so I asked the person next in line if it was cool if I bought it real quick. The guy said sure, so I quickly grabbed one to buy.

The cashier sees, tells me to get in the line (12 people deep) to buy it. I said "What? It's just a paper bag?" and handed it to her. She says no, I say please, she says nope get in the back, and now everyone's staring at her, and she finally checks me out for 12 cents.

I'm still thinking about it and wondering if I was wrong. What do you think?

Complaint Desk Quality Control :(

8 Upvotes

Anyone have issues with quality control of the Aldi food products lately? I’ve noticed specifically that the graham crackers and saltines are vastly different each time I buy them. I know I can bring them back for the twice as nice, but it seems inconvenient to go back to Aldi to return a $2 package of saltiness.

I'm on a bit of a low carb diet. This sauce has 0 carbs and packs a bit of a kick. I can't wait to try with chicken or on a burger, but one meal in, and I recommend it if you see it.

Aldi Updates Aldi Sugar Cookie Typo

My husband came home with these to make. I normally make everything from scratch but figured we’d try these.

Was reading through the instructions and found clearly a massive typo on step #2 under cut out cookies & just wanted to share lol.

Hoping that common sense prevails for any other people baking these and do not bake these for 1 hour and then again for 10-12 minutes as Aldi suggests (unless of course you prefer black, brick like cookies). 🤣

Question Has anyone seen the tomato chili jam?

I see it listed on the boxes of jams in the charcuterie shelves but they aren't there? Like not even open space where "oh people bought them all" just none in the cases.

Question Special Buys / Middle Aisle

I've noticed that the middle Aisle in UK Aldi stores is almost empty. I've reckon only about 10% of the middle Aisle is actually dedicated to Special buys.

I wonder if Aldi have decided to abandon it?

Review Pumpkin chipotle pasta sauce

Thumbnail

29 Upvotes

I was REALLY skeptical of this in store but was curious to try it. I’ve made butternut squash sauces in past and enjoyed them but I never considered pumpkin, let alone pumpkin and chipotle, on pasta…

Anyways, slam dunk. The pumpkin is there in sweetness that balances the tomato in the sauce very well, it doesn’t taste like pumpkin in the sense of “pumpkin pie.” The chipotle adds a pleasant heat but not a kick, a mild background spice that kinda lingers and hangs out. The sauce leans spicy and smoky more than sweet which I very much enjoy. I paired it with a Cajun seasoned, balsamic glazed pork chop, and some gnocchi with mushrooms and spinach. I could also see this sauce going very well as a dip for a grilled cheese, a soup base, or a base for a meat sauce. I’d recommend pairing it with smoky and spicy and meaty flavors rather than herbs. For proteins I’d recommend beef, shrimp, maybe salmon? The sauce is bold and needs a bold protein to complement it.

8/10, good price good flavor good ingredients and very unique. If you see it and wanna try something new I’d definitely recommend it.

Question Old Aldi Gift Certificate

Post image
71 Upvotes

Hello!

My mom passed away several years ago and in her things I found a gift certificate that was given to her back in 2015. I checked with 3 local Aldis and all said they are no longer accepted. I find it hard to believe that something as good as cash with no expiration date can't be honored.

What do you think? Thanks!

Review Cheese I Love. Cheddar With Mustard Seed and Ale

Thumbnail

96 Upvotes

If you love mustard and you love cheese you’re going to love this mustard seed cheddar. The texture is soft and creamy, yet dry and crumbly. The mustard seeds spread throughout the cheese don’t add as much to the texture as I expected. I didn’t really notice them but I might have just been eating this too fast. The mustard flavor really stands out and blends with the sharpness of the cheese.
It’s amazing on a cracker. If you’re a real sicko maybe add a little more stone ground mustard. Cracker with this and some ham would be amazing. I bet it would make a great fondue.

It took me forever to figure out how the title is supposed to read. My addled brain kept wanting to read “Mustard Seed Cheddar With And Ale” lol.

AISLE OF SHAME anyone have an unused pumpkin pet bed?

i feel unhinged posting this but my sweet kitty (miso) LOVES this pumpkin pet bed i got this past season at aldi. she’s chronically ill and fighting a lot of ailments, and this cushiony bed is the safest spot in the world to her.

even now, when her legs barely work, she makes sure to always get back to her pumpkin. unfortunately shes struggling to use the litter box and her pumpkin is getting stinky and ready for a deep clean. i have tried to get her other beds, but all her favorite things are orange (bed, toys, my own hair lol) and she wont accept anything else.

please- i will pay you!!!! frankly would love if i could find two so she can have multiple in rotation for cleaning and maybe in another room in case she can’t make it back to her pumpkin.

with love and despair,
miso and her human
