Aldi's grocery sto All high carb foods?!
We have a local Aldi grocery store that everyone raves
abt low prices So I went there last night and looked around. It seemed to me that all of this low priced food was VERY high in carbs and sugar. many factory made things. Anyone else have this same feeling abt Aldi's? Maybe its just me or something. |

Greetings! When I had an Aldi near, I loved the vegetable prices, and they had a breakfast sausage pattie (frozen, pre-cooked, 2 lb bag) that was very good. Sometimes the meat and fish prices were good. The Florida version of Aldi's just isn't as good. wrote in message ...

The areas they are located in are lower income areas and the stores are small for typical groceries. And it's been well established that the food stores in any lower income areas tend to have the worst food choices, ie mostly processed foods, junk foods, etc as opposed to fresh meat, vegs, etc. So, I'm not surprised |

I've been to maybe a half-dozen Aldi's, and they aren't all the same. Some have nice large produce and meat (prepackaged, they don't have butchers) and frozen food departments - some have token produce and almost no "real" meat, only processed frozen stuff. Some are much bigger than others also. So they do vary. There isn't one near where I live now (we have a Sav-a-Lot, I'd rather have Aldi's) but I always got my eggs/cheese/cream there, frozen 1# chubs of ground beef and ground turkey, chicken parts, sausage, frozen fish, tuna, lettuce, broths, and a few other misc. items there and those items formed the bulk of my cooking/eating for the week. -- Sherry lowcarb.owly.net |

We don't have much here, but we do have an Aldi's. I was only there once and won't go back. I don't know if they are all the same conceptually (bring your own bags/boxes, quarter for the shopping cart), but our's is a zoo and it wasn't a pleasant experience. And I didn't see that things were cheap enough to justify it. Also, just cans, boxes and frozen stuff -- I'd have to make a trip to another store anyway. -- BlueBrooke 254/225/135 |
