I totally agree! I still compare prices to other stores, but I usually end up getting all my produce from there. It's a limited selection but they have awesome prices. The prices on frozen fruit and frozen fish are pretty awesome too!

I buy all of my produce from Aldi's too. We go through quite a bit of veggies and fruit here so I enjoy walking out of Aldi's with all the essentials for next to nothing. Last week they had a gallon of milk for 1.99 at our Aldi's. Now I have grown accustomed to Smart Balance milk that we get for cheap/free but there is something extra special about straight milk! I loved the .99 pineapples, .49 grape tomatoes, .99 artisan lettuce, .59 cabbage, .99 broccoli bundle, and 1.29 pack of tri-color bell peppers that I was able to pick up over the last couple of weeks!!! Love Aldi's almost as much as Harris Teeter.

And the quality of the produce at my Aldi's is terrible. I wonder why.

Ah, that's a bummer, Moggy. I'd never gone to Aldi's until earlier this year, when a friend mentioned how much she loved their produce section. Yeah, I'm a store snob - I didn't think of Aldi as a "real" grocery store and had it lumped in with Big Lots and other discount stores.

Anyway, I figured I might as well go see, and lo and behold - our Aldi's is da bomb! The quality of the produce at our Aldi's definitely holds up against that of other grocery retailers like HT and FL, and definitely beats Walmart (icky). They've also added a few items to their selection that they haven't had previously at our store (the kiwi, for example) so that's a bonus.

If the produce quality started going down, I'd likely cross Aldi's off my list, as that's pretty much all I buy there, aside from the stray bottle of Winking Owl Merlot.

Other than smart balance milk, looks like I'll be sitting this one out.

I have 2 Aldi's around me and while the produce is not always the prettiest...it has always been been consistently good. I don't have the issue with it spoiling quickly that others have reported. I have only bought one thing from there that was yuck and it was quite a while back.. a bag of oranges that were not sweet. I rarely buy produce from anywhere else now. I can't do that Winking Owl merlot that LadySiren mentioned!!! It was way too dry for me.

Actually that's good to know about the winking owl wine - I actually like my wine as dry as it can get. I may have to try a bottle of it.

I'm planning on stopping by HT today to pick up some asparagus and hopefully they'll be out of the Maxwell House so I can get a RC
