What one thing do you wish Aldi would sell?

[CustardPatella]

Did my shopping today and Aldi. As usual, I had to go to the other supermarket next door to

Kids toothpaste
Rinse aid and dishwasher salt

Plant "cream" (they used to)
Oatly fresh oat milk

They used to sell rinse aid, was bloody good too.

Quality cleaning products and bin bags.

Ours always has beetroot!

Orange and mango squash and yo-yos.

Loose veg
Fresh bakery like Lidl
An own brand version of maltesers
Kids toothpaste

I’m puzzled why Aldi at one time was pretty good for selling (non frozen) fresh vegan foods.
missing for ages has been the “chicken” Kiev, plant based mince, sausages that were equal quality to Richmond vegan sausages. They only sell frozen vegan sausage now.
They also used to sell vegan pies and vegan pizza.
I know a lot of mumsnetters hate vegan cheese, but I’m ok with it and would love to buy it at Aldi prices.
They do seem to make more of an effort for “Veganuary”, but I’m plant based all year round….
plant based/veganism is a growing market, and not a short lived fad.
I do try to mostly eat non processed, but like most other folk, I like to enjoy not cooking from scratch a couple of times a week.
I’ve also noticed in the last few weeks they’ve stopped stocking the small jars of pasta sauce. My fave was the tomato and roasted pepper one.
although the jar was comparatively small, the sauce inside was concentrated, therefore I didn’t need as much .
oooooo, I do hope an Aldi official is reading this thread and fulfill all of our wishes 🤞

Protein bread

Gluten free staples, bread, pasta, etc.

Conversely I wish other supermarkets would sell the chocolate/vanilla sharing brioche loaves, my dc love them but I can only find them in Aldi. Chocolate chip rolls are NOT the same.

Green giant sweetcorn
Grissini

Decent French stick
Giant cous cous

And
celery hearts
Nigella seeds

I got a box of Dino rolls. They were by the cereal bars.

Also came on to say rinse and and dishwasher salt.

Decent crisps aldis are crap.

I wish they'd bring back their red organic wine (Toro) and the organic prosecco. Both have been discontinued and they were the only wines I can drink without getting a headache

I think it's just that it's so unpredictable what they will have. Things on my shopping list today which will have to wait for Tuesday's Ocado shop are pak choi, butternut squash, radicchio, red cabbage,butternut squash, Kellogg's Crunchy Nut, full sugar squash, miso paste, children's toothpaste... I have to do two shops a week to make it work.

Possibly because they have a limited range and the vegan stuff wasn't selling very well to the masses.

Decent coffee
Fresh bread
Branded cat food
Loose parsnips
Frozen croissants
Frozen spinach
Fire lighters

I normally have to go to a second shop for that lot.

Capers. Frozen garlic. Paneer. Hula hoops.

Old school hashish. (not this journey into space rocket fuel the kids smoke these days)

It think it must vary in store

my Aldi has a section. for gf stuff - admit I’ve never looked to see what’s on offer but has maybe 3 shelves with diff stuff

apple squash

thin bleach

ready made mash

Dino rolls

Worcestershire sauce

to make a few that I R.E.M. reading

Loose leaf teas.

A long time ago, they used to have a lovely fruit compote, which they discontinued. There were red and green versions.
Perfect in pies, crumbles, in yogurt or with ice cream.
Bring them back, Aldi.

The Lidl chocolate brownies!

Branded sauces
Proper bakery items
