Among the olds, it might be hard for Aldi to overcome the reputation it earned for itself in the 20th century.

It's nothing like that anymore.

Lots of seasoned people shop Aldi's where I go. Most things are good.

Another bad one. The Simply Nature Chicken Noodle Soup. Good broth and noodles. OK  carrots and celery. Inedible large chunks of cardboard like something posing ad chicken. Bad batch?

Good ones: their specially selected  tjai jasmine and basmati rice. Good quality and low price.

We have olds too. I'm specifically referring to those who tried Aldi in the 80s.

I have a 5 lb Aldi jasmine rice in the basement pantry. I found it in a dumpster. My 25 lb bag of basmati rice is not an Aldi brand. And it wasn't in a dumpster. It was merely near a dumpster.

For a German company their ham is inexplicably awful. They have these wonderful authentic German sausages, yet but their house brand Black Forest ham is gross. 🤷🏻‍♂️ They have some premium and uncured options now, but I haven’t tried them because they cost almost as much as the local mom and pop butcher shop/deli.

Their house brand frozen pizzas and flatbreads are pretty good for the price. I haven’t gotten any in a while but I think the basic ones are like 2 something bucks for essentially a Tombstone type pizza that feeds the whole family unless I’m super hungry. I usually add a little seasoning and some extra cheese.

I tried aldi's in the 80's. Would not take credit cards.

The 5 lb bag of jasmine rice at Aldi runs $4.99 to $5.99. Same size bag of Goya Foods jasmine rice at Walmart or Berkot  runs $9.99 to $11.99

Aldi's Kirkwood chicken fries are not good. I haven't tried the breaded  fish fillets.

I bought some Parkview jumbo uncured angus beef hot dogs. As good as or better than oscar mayer's version. I prefer Nathan's.

I basically didn't shop there until they reversed their credit card policy.

I wonder whether Hong, from Far East Grocery, is still holding on to that arcane mindset.

They make a jumbo, uncured Black Angus beef dog that is is not too bad. My take is all their beef hot dogs are a little too oily and salty.

The Parkview beef hot dogs are a bit too spicy --kind of  reminds me of Bests Kosher.
