When People Think We're Aldi, 15th 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.

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

From Donald, who wanted one of the blind boxes Aldi was giving out in June of 2026:

how do i sign up for a free box, you are giving June the 22nd.

We were so happy to read the first sentence of this comment on our post celebrating our 10th anniversary. And then we kept reading.

Someone is mad about the tuna:

Your solid tuna is a joke. Looks like flaked tuna. But more expensive

From Robin. We don’t know what north side she’s talking about.

We’ll be sure to pass this right along to Aldi:

We wrote a post about teacher accessories Aldi sold, and someone submitted this comment:

Do you offer any male teacher accessories

This person wants to know what we’re going to do about the bacon:

I have always bought the appleton bacon you sell at Aldi’s. The bacon has not been good last three times I bought it. What happened and how or what can you do for me as a customer?

It’s not every day we get cussed out by someone who thinks we’re Aldi:

I tried my hardest since you’re special sales ad started on July 1st I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that you don’t have an AI or a voice human agent to tell you where the special buys are located at for that limited time instead of giving us no answers and wanting us to search all around the east and west side of town to see if they have in availability I think all these is [crude language redacted] and I used to think that their meat came from Mexico exclusively but I read otherwise but I’m so [profanity redacted] at your bogus ads I will never shop there again and I even put it on hold for curbside pickup and you [profanity redacted] wouldn’t even honor that

Someone has complaints about the cinnamon rolls:

My husband and I love to have your cinnamon rolls for breakfast every morning ,But buns have gotten smaller and doughy .

A reader wants to know if we’ll ever bring back the knockoff Keurig K-Cup coffee maker Aldi used to sell:

Will you ever bring these back? Love mine and would like to buy one as a gift.

From Diane:

I do 95% of my grocery shopping at Aldi and love going there!!
PLEASE bring back Fusia’s Asian and teriyaki stir fry. I’ve bought it there for years and now can’t find it anymore. It’s a family favorite and a staple!!!

From an anonymous commenter:

bring back the lasagna rolls. they were very good.

From Tracey:

Good morning, when you usually get your terracotta mulch in? The red rubbery kind.

We miss the lobster tails, too:

Please bring more lobster tails back to aldis ok..I missed last sell on them I was in hospital..I shop at 2 different aldis stores..Bessemer Alabama..n hueytown Alabama..ok..

From Rick, who doesn’t like the organic whole milk plain yogurt:

This yogurt has gotten thin like milk. I don’t like it as well. Make it thicker please.

From Rosanna, who wants more gelato:

it was soo good a hard find hopefully you keep in stock rosanna

From Greg:

I agree with that the cheese curls totally going down hill. About a year ago they were right up their with Cheetos taste what happened ? Now, they have no taste and no cheese and the size looks like rejects from quality control. You had a very good product so. get back to the old receipt or lose business on good product of old.

Someone left a comment for one of our writers (and they misspelled her name) regarding some touchscreen gloves:

Dear Ms Rachel, I really enjoy these crane touch gloves. I really really wish they would bring them back to Aldi’s I can’t find anything like them, they’re lightweight but they keep my hands warm they make it easy to get a hold of things instead of bulky isotoner gloves. I can’t even find them on Amazon nothing even close. Please bring them back. Thank u

From someone who wants dill pickle popcorn:

I really like Clanceys Dill Pickle flavored popcorn but neither Aldi’s near me have it in stock. It should be sold year round. When ever I do see it, I buy two bags of it. Please bring it to the Martinsburg WV stores or Winchester Va. store.

From Candi:

Please bring back the farmhouse tea pots and Dutch oven pots.
They were gone in seconds when I got there.😭😭

From someone who doesn’t like the water bottles:

The water is great, but the new gallon jugs are terrible. There is nothing to get a hold of for pouring. There is no way to pour with one hand unlike the old milk jug shaped jug. Even with two hands you spill water very easily. Please go back to the old jug with a handle. I will not buy the new style again.
