I think that people's problem with Aldi is that they went into food deserts where there were no grocery stores, and got the reputation of being a low-income grocery store. I shopped there all of the time when I lived in the UK, so was familiar with what a good store it was when they arrived here. Same for Lidl.

My problem is that the selection is very, very limited, produce and meat is so so at best, and a lot of their products are preprocessed foods I have no interest in.

That's my biggest problem, I walked into Aldi's once to try it out and get a week or so worth of food, and at the end I walked out with a cereal I didn't really want because they didn't have anything else I wanted.

You go to ALDIs for your basics: like Milk, Produce, Cheese, Eggs, Pasta, etc. Then visit a big grocery for the stuff you didn’t purchase. That’s how you’re supposed to do it.

I think there's a noticeable drop in quality of a lot of the stuff at Aldi, especially their off-brand stuff. I've been much happier with Lidl.

Lidl is great, I go to the one in Timonium sometimes and am always amused with all the random shit they sell. What other grocery store sells weed wackers, tool boxes, and jumper cables?
Every time I go there I see something I would never expect to be in a grocery store.
