I shudder when I remember the low-fat craze that took hold during my 1980s childhood: skim milk, nonfat cottage cheese, nonfat yogurt (sweetened with aspartame!), artificial eggs, margarine, nonfat salad dressing (with sugar to make up for the lack of flavor), and worst of all, nonfat cheese, which looks and…
I’m a fan of red meat (in moderation) and I’ve tried many of the Aldi red meat offerings over the years. We’ve spent a fair amount of time on Aldi Reviewer looking at some of them, including the store’s burger selection. We’ve also done a tour of duty going over…
This is a guest post by Katelyn. Aldi is branching out and adding more products to its shelves, trying to appeal to healthy, allergy-friendly lifestyles. When I saw these Earth Grown Vegan Southwest Style Black Bean Chipotle Burgers, I knew I had to try them. My two favorite stores to…
Most Aldi stores don’t have dedicated on-site bakeries, but they still offer some interesting options like Specially Selected Brioche. This bread is imported from France and is sweet, light, and moist. After hearing friends say good things about Aldi’s brioche, which comes in Vanilla Creme or Chocolate Chip flavors, my…

Aldi has several good options in the meat department if you’re looking for a seasoned, ready-to-bake or ready-to-grill entree. The Roseland Pork Sirloin Roast is one of those options. The Roseland Boneless Seasoned Pork Sirloin Roast is sold refrigerated and contains up to a 15% solution of water, vinegar, sodium…
The centerpiece of any home movie night is reproducing the theater experience. A good television and sound system are great assets, but so is food that mimics the stuff you can get from the theater … minus the insane cost of movie theater food, of course. Candy and soda are…
