[–] misspacfic@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago (3 children) good. only problem with aldi is their produce is hit or miss. moreso than competitors in my experience. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago I feel like the places that are less hit and miss probably just throw away more produce so you only see the good stuff. permalink fedilink source parent [–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago We recently switched to Aldis. I thought that the produce was going to be a big hangup for me. However, I think it has been fine. The problem is that it just seems to bad much faster than when we buy it elsewhere. So with that in mind, I just only buy produce at the beginning of the week that I know we will eat quickly. permalink fedilink source parent [–] COASTER1921@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago Maybe it's just variable location to location but if you haven't been to one over the last 5 years they have really stepped up their game in my area. The selection certainly isn't quite as good as the normal supermarkets but the quality well above Walmart for a lot less money. permalink fedilink source parent
