When People Think We’re Aldi, 12th Edition

Since we created Aldi Reviewer, we’ve received a steady stream of emails and comments from people who think that we’re Aldi. We’re not, and we say so all over our site: on our about page, in our disclosure policy page, and at the bottom of each and every page on our site. We even have a checkbox in our contact page that people have to check acknowledging that they know we’re not Aldi.

Doesn’t matter. We still get emails and comments. So we collect them. And occasionally, we publish them.

Here are the links to previous editions:

• First Edition (2017)
• Second Edition (2018)
• Third Edition (2019)
• Fourth Edition (2020)
• Fifth Edition (2021)
• Sixth Edition (2022)
• Seventh Edition (2022)
• Eighth Edition (2023)
• Ninth Edition (2023)
• Tenth Edition (2024)
• Eleventh Edition (2024)

Once more, we showcase some of the messages and comments we have received. As always, full names, addresses, and phone numbers have been removed to protect the innocent. We have, however, left in every single typo.

From Diane: 

I bought a Belavi Hanging Sun Catcher 2-Pack, $4.99 from you, which was missing one of the crystals. May I get a replacement?

---

From a comment on our post about the SOHL Furniture Decorative Ottoman. Yeah, we’ll get right on that. 

Let me know if you get anymore of those ottoman back in

From someone unhappy about the hot dogs: 

Your hot dogs used to be good but as of January and February 2025 your hot dogs are horrible. You’ve added so much more stuff to them so disappointed.

From someone who has regularly commented on our site for at least the last year and still hasn’t figured it out:  

I loved finding fresh Gluten Free Pastas in your stores. There were more dinner ideas to offer us who are Gluten Free ~ and I’m fairly certain I’m not alone in this area. Your dried pasta G.F. seems to also be ‘disappearing’ more each visit. Your wonderful G.F. Bagels ~ gone! Clean foods are my first choice, and I look for them. Wherever your selections were coming from, they were excellent and we enjoyed finding them there; and at a fair price!

From Carol, who used the contact form on one of our writer’s professional websites to complain that she couldn’t find apple berry blossom pastries. 

You need to order more. I’ve gone to four stores to find every store is out.

From someone who really wants a job at Aldi: 

My name is [name redacted] and have applied numerous times for both Cranberry, PA and Clarion, PA. I have had a phone interview and was told a Store Manager would reach out to me 2 weeks later Cranberry Store Manager reached out to me and said would have another interview with DM and now 3 weeks gone by and nothing. If I am NOT a qualified applicant, could you at least tell me.
I have stopped into the Cranberry location and spoke to Manager and still nothing.

From “The Hills”: 

April 14, 2025

Dear Aldi customer service,
We have been informed that Aldi will no longer offer the Earth Grown Vegan Black Bean Chipotle burger patties. It is to our disappointment that you would remove this from those customers that enjoy having those for a healthy diet.
Please do not discontinue them and bring them back, there are no other stores that sell them.
Sincerely, The Hills

From George, who wants to buy a soap dispenser:

When autocorrect confuses Aldi with a luxury car … 

Please bring back the pineapple. It was better than all of the popsicles after I eat my dinner the pineapple is my dessert. Need no cake no ice cream at all just a pineapple popsicle please Audi bring back the pineapple popsicle.

From Linda: 

Simply Nature Coconut Cashew Crisps, sold at Aldi’s has been out of stock. I hope they won’t be listed as discontinued. I noticed Amazon is selling them for $13.50/2 pack. Please restock your shelves with this product, keeping the cost as close to $2.99 as you can. They’re fantastically delicious cookies, and gets me inside your store more often than I would have otherwise!

If you can figure this one out, you’re smarter than us: 

Hello Rachael
We loved those canned herring products like Herring in Tomato sauce, Herring in Mango Sauce, Herring in Mustard sauce, etc, but have not seen them for a long while. I keep looking every time I am in the store, but so far, no luck.
Is there a chance that you will sell this product again some day?

From Sheila, who says we’re just awful: 

Have the Radiance Disinfectant Wipes been redone. They are absolutely terrible. They use to be my favorite wipes. I will NEVER buy another one now. I don’t know what has been done, but they are thin, stretchy and useless. I will buy something else. You ruined them. Trying to get more for your money, you made a mistake. Just awful.

Please make the random extra spaces stop:

From Pamela: 

I LOVE YOUR HONEY, AND ALL OTHERS WITH YOUR NAME I BUY BUT ALDI’S IS MY FAVORITE STORE

From someone who really “lives” the Crazy Candy Co. hard candies Aldi sometimes sells: 

Love, love, love , these candies are the best, the Christmas section of the raspberry is my fav. Live them all. Keep selling please.
