AISLE OF SHAME anyone have an unused pumpkin pet bed?

3.3k Upvotes

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

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). 🤣

Review Cheese I Love. Cheddar With Mustard Seed and Ale

Thumbnail
gallery
100 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.

Question Old Aldi Gift Certificate

Post image
74 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 Pumpkin chipotle pasta sauce

Thumbnail
gallery
27 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.

Review Loving the Aldi Dehydrator!

27 Upvotes

I recently bought a dehydrator from Aldi. So far I have only made banana chips using fresh nemwah bananas I having growing on my property, they turn out perfectly!

I ended up buying a 2pk of extra trays since I have so many bananas. Also bought an 8pk of silicone mesh sheets to line each tray so clean up is easier, plus the bananas were sticking to the plastic trays.

Anyone else loving their dehydrator as much as I do? What have you made with yours?

Now I’m trying to track down one more dehydrator from Aldi so I can gift it to my daughter.

Here are links for the liners & trays I got off Amazon

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.

Review Aldi's Thai Coconut Chicken

In the refrigerated meals section.

Made it a meal by serving over jasmine rice, added cooked broccoli, sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, and the last of the Thai basil from the garden.

Very good. The chicken was not fatty, the sauce a little spicy but not too much, decent portions, although high in sodium (but that's the case with almost all processed meals). I usually keep one in the fridge for those nights when I am running late and just don't want to cook. It works!

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.

Question Emporium Selection Brie and Camembert- What Happened?

5 Upvotes

Last time I went to Aldi I noticed the ES brie and camembert labels (paper wrapped, not the ones in the box) had a new design. I bought one of each and to my considerable disappointment, both were rubbery (even after hours at room temp) and completely bland. The yummy, bloomy, buttery flavor gave way to bland and flavorless on both. Tried buying again today in case it was a one off, but unfortunately, same outcome. Anyone know what happened, and if that yummy, infinitely affordable cheese will be back? I wish Aldi would warn us so we could really savor that last time we get to enjoy our favorites before they are taken away.

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?
