We can all agree Aldi have some good stuff but sometimes there’s some bad too. I’d like to hear about your favs and not so favs.
Don’t worry if it’s not food based. We will forgive you.
I’ll start a Coles/Woolworths post in the near future.

The coconut milk/cream is truely horrendous - inedible. Maybe I’ve had a couple of bad tins but I won’t be trying it again.
I mostly agree with @[email protected] re: tinned fish, the sauce in the saucy ones (herring) is pretty bad, I’ve tried most of them. I’ve tried a couple of the rainbow trout (plain, and with truffle flavour) which smelled a bit funky but tasted fine - not really my favourite though. I havent tried the sardines (surprisingly! I eat lots of sardines) but that’s because they don’t have any in olive oil - which is a big deal for me. I haven’t tried the tuna either. Long story short I get my tinned fish elsewhere.
The veggies are fine, but annoyingly inconsistent at times. Sometimes stuff you want just isn’t there on the day.
I’m happy with the meats, haven’t noticed a big difference between aldi and Colesworth, just cheaper.
I’m happy with the cheese and butter too, I get their basic vintage block often, and the salted aldi brand butter is just fine.
I love that they now have Heinz baked beans, and also Shin ramyun (strong recommend to give it a go if you haven’t tried it!).
Happy with the their spices and stuff like garlic and ginger tub-things.
I get pretty much everything I need at Aldi, except my tinned fish.
My aldi does have sardies in olive oil from time to time - comes in a box with sardies in springwater and another flavour maybe tomato I think. The oil ones sell out fast leaving only the springwater and tomato ones in the box. Mea culpa - I do buy up the olive oil ones when I see them. You would think they’d market just the oil ones in a separate box, but apparently no can do.
Ooh thanks for the tip. I’ll keep an eye out for the olive oil ones from now on!
I really like the sprats in chilli sauce and the oysters in chilli oil too. I’m not into my tinned fish being in sweet sauce. I find it odd.
