Give me your pro's and con's. How they compare to a normal market?
Great price, limited variety of options (e.g. frozen orange juice concentrate, but no other flavors). I avoided them for years because of the quality issue, but I've found most of their stuff is fine. Their stuff is about the same as generic merchandise from name-brand stores. But I'm easy to please, too. But most things aren't too different from name-brand stuff. Some things I've been disappointed with, but it's the exception rather than the norm. There are articles on the web about what Aldi's stuff to avoid, but I haven't found them useful (most seem just filler content, poorly researched and thoughtlessly written). They carry a limited selection of name-brand stuff, but the price on that is not anything special.
Thanks.
How's their produce, meat and dairy departments?
