    I use Aldi reguarly. I'll visually walk you through the store.

    Great for snacks for home and parties, DP likes fishy food - tuna, salmon. Then there is the pasta and sauces.
    I think the paper towels and toilet paper is great value. I get the 4 pack toilet paper and I'm particular about ply.
    Next is the tooth paste (whitening), soaps, again great value. Then there is the drinks, I get the juice, water and for DP gingerbeer. Followed by the frozen section I get the frozen chips, lasagna. DP isn't too keen on the frozen fish tho.

    I get the fruit for my birdie. Much cheaper than Woolies. The cleaning products and baking paper, glad wrap. I still buy spray and wipe, shower cleaner, dishwashing tablets and washing powder from BigW/Woolies.

    Ham slices, cheese, ice cream, cake mixes, bread and rolls.

    Best part are the specials each week, I tend to buy something new each week. This week is laundry - I'm going to get a new washing basket and the laundry divider. You might be also able to get some of the Christmas specials, I got some more rolls of wrapping paper the other day.

    We do the bulk of our grocery shopping at Aldi and we love it

    Their nappies rock! Their bread is great. Like others have said, a lot of it is the branded stuff, just relabeled . Most of the the time we are really happy with the quality of their stuff. You do occasionally find something dud there, but you don't know until you try it. Of course you can't buy everything you need there, I still go to Woolworths to get my fav coffee and a few other bits and pieces.
