Yay, happymom I'm glad you liked it -- it's my favorite discount store.

I love it too. I also buy their napkins, paper plates (the ones like the dixie brand), hand soap refill, qtips, butter (I can't believe it's not butter look alike), cereal, sour cream (really thick), ramen noodle soups, powdered drink mixes, dijon mustard (just like the name brand), ketchup (tastes as good as heinz), mustard, and their orange kitchen cleaner (it leaves stainless shiny and cleans grease really well).

I used to be a brand snob but have tried things little by little and have found a couple things I don't like but most things are just as good or better than name brand.

Anyone ever try their salsa? We love Walmart's mild salsa for some reason, but I'm trying to switch over to Aldi's as much as I can for simplicity's sake.

We ended up trying the mild Italian sausage last night and really liked it.

I LOVE Aldi's! It is so satisfying to get a huge cartful of groceries and only pay $75 or so.
We buy as much as we can there. A few products are hit and miss but the other stuff definitely makes up for it.

Another reason that I like Aldi's is that I have NEVER seen a loose shopping cart. Isn't it funny that people will take the extra minute to get their quarter back but will leave their carts all over the place at KMart Wal-Mart etc. It drives me nuts (especially when they are only a parking space or two away from the cart corral. Talk about lazy).

Glad you had a good first trip. If you are like me, the more you shop there the more you will like it.

We love their mild Casa Mamita salsa. I like it because it isn't very watery and has a really good flavor IMO. Their salsa con queso (sp?) (cheese/salsa dip) is really good too.
