According to the report, Market Basket - despite its continued family power struggle over its ownership - stood out for its low prices and favorable ratings for quality. Market Basket was one of the area's top-scoring chains for the quality of its produce and meat, and its prices were 15% lower than the average at all the stores the surveyors shopped.

The humble grocery store known as Aldi is home to a number of sought-after deals on kitchen items, fresh produce, frozen feasts, and much more. When it comes to cheese, however, Redditors vehemently advise against picking up a pre-sliced package from its deli. White its fresh cheese selection is rather impressive, the sliced cheese is noted as being too thin, poorly packaged, prone to molding, and generally not worthwhile.

Aldi has got a great track record of delivering affordable and high-quality products, from fresh produce and meats to tasty prepackaged options. But no one's perfect, and sometimes even Aldi gets it wrong. That brings us to one particular Aldi's product you ought to avoid buying. It makes you think about how it made it past research and development in the first place. We're talking about its infamous Specially Selected Slow-Cooked Broccoli & Cheddar Soup.

A good bagel should have the perfect balance of flavor and chewy texture - store-bought or otherwise. Unfortunately, according to customers on Reddit, Aldi's L'Hoven Fresh Bagel Skinny's miss the mark where it matters: in the flavor department. "I'm never buying their "skinny" bagels again," one user wrote in response to an r/aldi Reddit post about items to avoid at the popular discount retailer. "They taste like cardboard in the worst way."

You eat with your eyes and your nose as much as your mouth, so a soup that smells rotten before you taste it is not going to encourage you to want to give it a try. We mentioned the soup in a list of cheap products from Aldi you want to avoid, noting that it smelled like dishwater and had an unpleasant consistency. Some people have even reported finding hard, wood-like chunks of broccoli. But the negative feedback doesn't stop there.

Amidst the many products hitting Aldi's shelves this fall are a plethora of exciting advent calendars. With the wide variety on offer as well as the reasonable prices, Aldi shoppers are spoiled for choice with the all of the advent calendars options and may find it hard to go home with just one. Shoppers will find calendars filled with traditional treats like chocolates, but also everything from wine and beer to European cheeses and hot sauce.

Unfortunately, the frozen burrito had no redeeming qualities to pull it out of its worst placement in our rankings. It was just plain bad. To begin with, what the packaging depicted was nothing like what came out of the box. Even if freezing a product might alter its appearance, once we heated and cut the burrito in half, we only saw a fraction of the ingredients its title promises.

In 1913, a small food shop opened in Essen, Germany. The entrepreneurial effort was spearheaded by Anna Albrecht, and her sons took over the initiative in 1948. Karl and Theo Albrecht got to work nurturing a concept that was aimed at keeping prices low for grocery shoppers. The name Aldi, which came in 1962, results from the shortening of Albrecht Discount, which was the store's original name.

I trust Aldi's produce more than Walmart - I've never had an issue with Aldi, but Walmart's produce molds so fast,

One Reddit thread asks, "[Am I the a*****e] for not giving someone my cart at ALDI b/c they didn't have a quarter? The poster expounds, "Finished my Shopping at Aldi and loaded the car - I can see a family waiting for me to bring my cart back so they can go in [...] I say, I need a quarter if I am going to hand it over.

Today, Aldi has announced that it intends to give cash-conscious consumers the ability to get a full turkey spread for 10 people for just $40. As Aldi notes, at an average cost of just $4 per person, the deal, per household guest, costs "less than a pumpkin spice latte." The deal also happens to be $7 cheaper than the $47 Thanksgiving dinner for 10 that Aldi offered last year.

With the holiday season looming, you may be looking for an extra touch of hospitality ahead of any parties you're hosting. Look no further than Aldi to find some of the best (and affordable) holiday hosting must-haves, including this portable storage cart that can easily upgrade any room in your home, while making setup and cleanup so much easier. What Is the Aldi SOHL 3-Tier Rolling Cart? The SOHL 3-tier rolling cart from Aldi is exactly what it sounds like: a cart on wheels with three levels to it.

Hold up - a ladder just for blankets? You might be wondering why you'd need such a thing, especially if you don't have a lot of room in your house already. But despite the name, this Aldi blanket ladder unlocks a world of storage possibilities for blankets, yes, but also towels or any other linen you might grab repeatedly. You get five rungs of vertical storage to use however you please.

Learning to smoke meat can be an expensive endeavor - particularly when you're first learning, because you might not always get the results you want. With this in mind, it can be intimidating to shell your money out on a nice piece of brisket. That is, unless you're an Aldi shopper. Aldi stores offer the ideal beginner brisket: small, pre-seasoned pieces sold at the store's standard cut-rate prices.

Spooky Season is in full swing, which means it's time to start trying out all of those Halloween recipes you've been bookmarking - and Aldi has the perfect cake pans for you to use. The store has just released the most delightful seasonal cake pans in two sizes and designs. Its Crofton Halloween-themed cake pans are just $6.99, but they're giving us major Williams Sonoma vibes.

If you're a frequent shopper at Aldi, you may know that the company has won many awards and that most items in its stores are private label. However, you may not be aware of the extent of the private labels' options and how closely they resemble the name-brand version. Not only are they similar in taste, texture, and/or appearance, but many loyal customers believe these Aldi iterations are better than the "real" thing.

Tasting Table's staff put these frozen fish filets on a list of cheap Aldi products you should avoid buying at all costs, even though the actual cost of a bag is a measly seven dollars. Fremont's Pacific Whiting tastes super fishy and almost rank, likely a sign that it wasn't very fresh before it was frozen. While some types of seafood have a "fishier" flavor than others, whiting is a mild white fish that is supposed to have a very delicate taste, so something is definitely off here.

This 2-piece grinder set typically costs just $12.99, a serious bargain compared to similar items from other retailers. To use them, you simply hover each shaker upside down over your food, let it grind salt or pepper automatically, then turn it right side up to stop it. If you love plenty of pepper on your food or are making a recipe that requires heavy salting, these Ambiano mills can save your hands a lot of ache.

Known for a focus on efficiency that sets it apart from other grocery stores, speedy checkouts and fast cashiers, a twice as nice return policy (where you get a refund and a replacement for select Aldi brand food items), and the infamous "aisle of shame" (with its unique assortment of goods at deep discounts), Aldi has a devoted following among its customers.

As its name implies, Aldi croissant buns are a cross between a sandwich bun and a croissant. They have a flaky pastry top akin to croissant rolls you see stuffed with cream, but the thick underbelly has more of a fluffy bread-like crumb that you can slice in half for sandwiches. A Redditor wrote, "these are my favorite bread item that Aldi carries," a sentiment echoed by many Aldi customers on the same thread.

The chew struck the perfect balance between tender and juicy and hearty and hefty. But the robust umami-flavor from the beef was the highlight of the taste test, while the gorgeous char added another layer of smoky goodness to the mix. The strength of flavor and sturdy yet tender texture of these patties will stand up to all kinds of robust spreads, cheeses, and toppings, making them especially versatile so they can fit any burger-lover's preferences.

The small-format German grocer is adored by many for a variety of different reasons. There's a clear explanation as to why it's currently the nation's fastest-growing supermarket chain and why it brings in nearly one billion annual visitors. No-frills shoppers, discount hunters, and eco-friendly consumers all unite within the store's walls, throwing up their cart quarter salute.

The Staub pumpkin Dutch oven may just be one of the most iconic kitchen accessories ever. It comes in a bunch of different colors, including classic orange, chic white, matte black, and a moody dark green, and I can only assume it makes every fall casserole, soup, braise, and roast taste that much better. However, if you're not willing to spend $200 on one of these pumpkins, you can head to Aldi right now instead.

The sauce channels the same energy as a lot of Aldi's most popular products - it mimics the composition, flavor, and packaging of big-name brands ( you'll rarely find brand-name items at Aldi). This one is similar to Manwich - it has the tang of tomato sauce, the sweetness of a little brown sugar, and it comes in a rust-colored can.

For just $12.99, Aldi's Hotel Collection Sweet Pumpkin Pie candle looks like a quiet luxury find - and, it's one of the easiest and most affordable ways to create a fall tablescape on your kitchen table or island. The candle, which looks like the outline of a light wooden pumpkin with white wax inside, is also perfect to display on your coffee table or a TV console.

As a mom, food writer, and recipe developer, I look for groceries that are high-quality but cheap. This is why I love shopping at Aldi, where I can find affordable, delicious ingredients. There are a few staples I always buy, like orange juice, Irish butter, and marinara sauce. I'm a working mom of two voracious toddlers, so when it comes to meals and grocery shopping, my priorities are simple: straightforward and cheap.
