Yes! Well they do in Vic. You can just chuck it in your trolley with your groceries.

Damn, we are missing out.. Doesn't happen in Qld either..

But my favourite would have to be the lasagna.. At the price less than $3 to have a meal in the freezer for when I can't be a$$ed getting dinner sorted for myself.. (don't give it to the kids though).

They do lactose free milk? I have to get some, the Zymil is so expensive and can be hard to get. We have three stores in a 10km radius, each one is near Coles and woolies.

I love their chocolates and the fruit and veg are always fresh for us I guess they have to compete. I get little champagne bottles that are from Germany I like not having to open a big bottle.

I love EVERYTHING from aldi, do my weekly shop there and also buy their specials (dvd player, coffee machine, bike, etc)

In particular, we love kaiora bay sauv blanc reserve- soooo cheap and delicious, most wine is good, DH drinks a particular beer from there, the tiramisu desserts, belight frozen meals for me to take to work( esp cannelloni), their version of vita-wheat biscuits ( DH won't eat any others), organic chocolate, organic muesli, mineral water, etc etc, I could go on forever, such good quality and value.

We have 2 stores where i live and they are building 3 or 4 more this year, shame they won't go to cairns for you lot up there.

Their bread is good too.

The tuggeranong one in canberra has grog but our one here doesn't...
You guys have inspired me! I am going to shop there for as much as i can today!

[Tinks]

[Calluna]

Some of the QLD ones have alcohol. The Oxley one for example.

[Madham]

We shop at aldi my favs are bread, wipes, pasta, honey soy chips, chocolate, yoghurt, nuggets, dimsims, wine, shampoo, dishwashing liquid, cereal, mince but we buy our meat from butchers an fruit and veg is hit and miss unless you shop in morning.

A little OT, but...

I have just returned home from an Aldi shop The sad news is that even at Aldi, bananas are close on $10/kg

Just wanted to let you all know that they have great little comforters available this week if your littlies are still in cots and need a doona for winter. I just bought one with trains on it for DS - $20!

We are also having DimSims for lunch - thanks for the suggestions, ladies

[sloane]

this thread is making me feel like i should go & shop at aldi! i might have to give it a go one week

i do love their nappies though - we've been using them since DS was about 2 months old.

[KimB]

I always shop at Aldi and have done so for years. If I need to top up on anything they don't stock then it is a trip to Bilo We are getting an Aldi store of our own in my little town very soon - can't wait. Not as much travelling time

[~me~]

Was just at Aldi this morning

Chocolate
Nappies
Chips
Mini icecreams (like the Bulla minis)
Bread, they do a really yummy raising bread!

Oh, and the trolley token!!!

[~*Niadalla*~]

We do our entire shop at aldi. They have everything we need... we don't need to go anywhere else for anything else really unless it's for something out of the ordinary.
I pretty much love everything!! My fave fave FAVE thing is the icecream.... the round brown tubs. Double chocolate chip I thinkIt's AMAZING and never lasts very long in this house.
Also the curly fries and the crumbed prawns!! They are awesome!!

Love love love Aldi! My fave 'special' of late was the $9.99 bottles of zibibbo. The PROPER stuff made in gapstead by the same people who make the real thing. Even the label was the same ( just a different named winery... but you can find them online).

I bought 10 bottles over a few weeks and we only have 2 left.. WHOOPS!

[Caz1971]

Tinks - yes they are my favs too. I dont like the ham ones but I eat all the other ones..lol.

Oh and I always get the feta and spinach triangles..

We just bought a vacuum from Aldi and it is brilliant!!! We have horrid shag carpet in our house and the carpet feels brilliant after being vacuumed with the new vacuum. DH is a locomotive electrician and he bought some tools from Aldi the other day and he thinks they are great, his work mates even thought so and went out and bought some for themselves! Over the years, we have also purchased a baby monitor with video which was great until DS1 broke it, a massager, those little steps for kids to use for toileting etc - for $2 these are awesome! We don't really buy food from there (apart from yummo party pies once) but considering every other thing that I have bought from there has been brilliant, I am more than willing to give their food a try now.
I wonder if I might be convinced to try their nappies. I have used Huggies for all of my kids and I think I will be a difficult one to convert. Do any of you Aldi nappies users think I could be converted?
