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.

    Dumplings used to be nice, but a few years back they suddenly tasted worse & made me feel crappy after eating them. I discovered that they had changed the country of origin (and the ingredients list was slightly different); whatever else changed made them crap. A real shame, used to eat a lot with family, and the other place I used to get frozen dumplings shut down during COVID.

    Their panko breadcrumbs used to have proper country of origin labelled, then at some point they changed to “from Australian and imported sources”. Apparently they don’t need to be more specific than that under Australian law :/ I’m happy for them not to be Australian, but I feel they’re trying to be dishonest if they change the labelling to be more vague.

        Maybe they’re just too lazy to care. It might be breadcrumbs that change origin regularly depending on what’s available and they don’t want to bother changing the packaging.

      I agree. I want to know origin of ingredients if majority aren’t from Australia.
