What's your favourite Aldi product?

[Pandora]

We have 4 within 35km of each other. That sux that there isn't one in cairns

[Tinks]

That sucks big time.

I also love their mini quiches

[MrsBexie]

Nappies!! We used the newborn nappies after using 2 full boxes of huggies (cause Aldi are a little bit bigger so perfect for when they are too big for huggies and too small for the next size up) and now she is in the 4-8kg ones. She rarely leaks out of them unless it is a MASSIVE poonami or something, even overnight going like 8-9hrs without a change...

The wipes are awesome too! And so cheap!

I don't shop at Aldi cause I find I still have to go to Woolies after so now especially with a baby it is easier to just shop at Woolies. I really should just go to Aldi tho.
I might start this week!

[Shanti]

Nappies, baby wipes, nappy bags and yummy chicken nuggets!! Oh and dd loves their full cream milk

We visit aldi when they have specials like on toys etc, have bought some really awesome stuff for dd.

I was asked this the other week. I really love the docket at the end. BUT I hate that I don't have ALDI here in Cairns. I called them the other week & they told me they have no plans what so ever to bring Aldi here

They said that to me about three of the stores in Brisbane. Lutwyche, Ashgrove and now Kelvin Grove. It is partly due to they have to negotiate or I think I read about Coles and Woolies putting up strong opposition to some sites, in some way.

I love their weekly specials!

I always have to buy something from them

oh and their fry pan is so cheap and soooo durable!!!

Yeah we have the options of Coles, woolies & then ridiculously expensive IGA stores. I shop in coles now

[Pandora]

Our aldi is next to woolies so it's easy enough to go to both

[*Efjay*]

Yeah I use to do ALdi & the top up at coles. The town had all 3 with in 5 km of each other.

[Life is Good]

Brisbane has a heap of Aldi stores on the Northside, but we have only had one open on our side of town in the past 6 months. I had heard heaps about the specials and was so happy when I heard one was opening close by

I would say the best buy out of everything is their lean beef mince. Not only is it great quality and cheaper that Coles/Woolies, but it doesn't expire for at least 4 days. My theory is that Coles/Woolies must recycle their meat (i.e. sell it as more expensive steaks etc.) and when it is about to turn they chuck it through the mincer and sell it as minced beef. As a result, their mince NEVER has an expiry date longer that 1 or 2 days. This bugs me soooo much!

The nappies are great for around the home for our DS. Also, their nappy pants are pretty good and don't swell up nearly as much as their nappies do

[Pandora]

Or, it could be that they don't add preservatives. Just playing devils advocate I have no idea what they do there. We get our meat at a butcher mainly, but if I bought meat that I wasn't planning to use within 48 hours id freeze it.

[~clover~]

Their iced vo vo's!! Dunno the aldi name of them, but they are sooooo yum!!!

ETA - a mate of mine used to work at a woolies butchery & left them in a bad way. If he'd have had a problem with anything like that he'd have winged about it, so I 'm not sure about the recycled meat thing... but who knows??
I prefer our local co-op for meat, coz woollies can't be bothered with anything exciting, like crumbed steak or crumbed cutlets.

Oou Aldi is an hour away. Co*** Harbour. But thats the only one I know of for hundreds of kms. Kempsey, Port Macquarie, Tamworth, Armidale, Dubbo. None of them have one, though I'm sure most of them are alot lower income than Co***. But there is a woollies or 2 in each of those places. We have an extra woollies here we don't need & they want to open a coles too! Silly if you ask me!!

[alish]

littlemisssummer - oh i love the souvlaki kits!! dh and myself are obsessed! we have a BOX of them in the cupboard, im not joking!
i have ibs and i find their lactose free milk is fantastic , and cheap.
also their equivalent to napisan, works just as well,
and their dim sims!

[feeb]

There wipes and nappy sacks.
Got a cool 3 storey wooden garage DS1 got for christmas, have train set in cupboard for his birthday this year.
Butter chicken and Chicken korma sauce.
muffin bars, and fruit bars, le snacks (kids snacks)
milky ways yum yum
Yougurts

[Feijoa Mum]

Oh where to start???

I do the bulk of my shopping there everyweek and then down to Wollies to do the stuff Aldi dont carry. We have a Coles opening in our little shopping centre in a few months so will be very spoilt for choice.

Nappies, wipes, mixed vege, milk - $2.89 for 3ltrs (cheaper than woolies and coles) lunch stuff for the boys so much cheaper, cereals, biscuits, spaghetti and baked beans, Pasta sauce and pasta ........ I could go on and on!

I dont think there is anything I havent tried there so if anyone has any ????? on anything ask away

[Tinks]

Their grog is pretty good too. Except they my Aldi haven't had the cheapo Midori in aaages.

[*TripleJ*]

dimsims for sure lol especially in my electric steamer

[mummydreamer]

Well tell her that I think Cairns & its lower income families would LOVE aldi & it would thrive here. Hell just with my family of 7, we would make it worth their while LOL

im so shocked that they're not planning on building up there, i think it would really be worth there while!!

but i love their chicken schnitzels and their chicken kievs, they're yummy!! and also some of their organic yoghurts (the apricot one....mmmmm)and.....just in general, i love the majority of their products, there cheap and good quality.
