I am not a person who likes super-spicy foods. I don’t mind a little kick in my tacos or salsa, but I prefer to taste and enjoy other flavors besides just melt-my-mouth-off-my-face spiciness. My 10-year-old daughter, however, is not like me. We were in a traditional grocery store a few…
We’re big fans of what Aldi does for breakfast: the eggs, the French toast, the sausage, the turkey sausage, the pancake-and-sasusage-on-a-stick … all of it. And we are big fans of Aldi’s hash brown patties, which do a great McDonalds impersonation. For this post we are turning our attention to Aldi’s…
Joshua also contributed to this post. Apparently the theme for my summer (besides “let’s spend money on travel”) is “let’s eat frozen pocket sandwiches.” I recently reviewed the liveGfree line of pocket sandwiches, and now my attention has turned to breakfast. I have a tall, gangly, almost-11 year old boy…
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…
EDITOR’S NOTE: Read our review roundup of many of Aldi’s vegan Earth Grown products at this link. 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…
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 does sweets pretty well. Whether it’s chocolate covered pretzels or premium ice cream, the discount grocer has plenty of sugar to destroy your diet. And we know you love them, too — Aldi’s imitation Girl Scout cookies are one of our more popular posts. While chocolate-covered pretzels and loaded…
Soda (or pop*) is not good for you. Most people know this. It’s high in sugar and mostly nonexistent in nutritional value. Nevertheless, it’s tasty, and there are occasions when soda (in moderation, of course), can be a special treat, such as during a summer cookout or a birthday party.…
If you’ve a) been to Aldi and b) like cashews, you can’t help but notice that giant box staring at you among the various nuts. (In our store they’re located in the first aisle, just beyond the alcohol, chips, and other snacks.) Now, anyone who knows much about nuts in…
