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

Better quality bread. Sourdough. Wholemeal sourdough.

Whiskas. My cat is a selfish twat and refuses to economise. Getting 120 sachets off eBay now, lots cheaper

Costa Americano Tassimo pods

Rock salt and peppercorn refills, capers, better crisps (what the hell has happened to snack right post covid?!), Dishwasher salt, tofu, Quorn roast, fresh or frozen un smoked mackerel, offal and less plastic packaging.

I’m a weekly Aldi shopper but have to go elsewhere for:

dishwash salt & rinse aid (I’ve only ever seen it there once in the middle aisle)
rye bread (not had it now for months)
kids toothpaste
frozen spinach
decent fresh bread

Tofu. They have an OK meat free freezer section but I prefer tofu.

I wish they would start by allowing you to pack as you go.

Fine to ask people to pack AGAIN if you are healthy. Nit so much if you are ill/have some disability.
I mean when our Aldi opened, you couldn’t even move the CC machine so someone in a wheelchair could pay!

Welding sets.
The number of times I've gone to to the weekly shop, only to have to drive out to an industrial estate for a small weld set.

Risotto rice
Kids toothpaste

For those of you who also have snobby cats....farm foods often have whiskas on a fab deal

We use Aldi now and generally very happy with it but still need to go to another shop for various things like Hollandaise Sauce, certain branded cereals, Tabasco Sauce, fever tree tonic and others I know (and I'd rather they had those basics rather than the strange assortment of things in the middle aisle) but those are just a few things that's it's easy to pop into another shop for.

So if Aldi vegan range wasn’t being bought in sufficient amounts to warrant restocking, how is it that stores such as Tesco, increase their plant based fresh (and frozen) choices, year on year?

@AlwaysLatte their own tonic cans are really nice ( the fever tree rip off ones )

@WakingUpDistress I think you can pack at the checkout. I asked a few years ago along the lines of "oh sorry I forgot you can't pack here" as I was stuffing stuff into bags and they said they changed their policy prefer if you don't but they won't ask you to stop.

I wish they would start by allowing you to pack as you go

ours has self checkout now. Life changing.

you can get Faith in Nature shampoo at sainsburys @Sorebackandibs but I usually get mine at TKMaxx

Tofu seems to be a popular one, based on about 10 people on Mumsnet wanting it.... Reason enough to stock it I'd say!

Today I ventured to big Asda for the stuff Aldi and Lidl don't sell. Mostly it was world foods aisle. Capers, brown basmati rice 5kg, uncooked poppadoms, various spices. I go twice a year

This.

Also I can't remember who posted about nitrate free ham - but I think Parma ham is nitrate free.

Dog mixer

I pack as i go. Always have

I pack as I go but
On the checkout I organise it so heavy stuff first, lightest last and split into fridge/freezer and ambient. It sounds ridiculous but I do heavy frozen and fridge stuff to light frozen and fridge stuff, then heavy ambient to light ambient

Then I have open bags, big ones in the trolley and just put it in so I can pack at the speed they scan, one bag for fridge and one for ambient
Anything that doesn't quite fit I pack after in a spare bag I keep. Concerned my packing method is excessive now, I went with my dad the other week and he was baffled

What are the gulten free fish goujons called. I havent seen these are they fresh or frozen please

They have kids toothpaste in my branch...think it was aqua fresh big teeth one

Also agree with gluten free basics and lack of dishwasher salt/rinse aid.

Some of the items mentioned I’ve seen so maybe it’s store specific. In mine I never see any curry pastes which we use a lot or arborio rice.

What on earth are dino rolls? Google is not helping me.

I brought some today in a Aldi where I'm on holiday;they've stopped doing them in my local Aldi.

I also picked up a insanely good cider in the Aldi here that I've never seen back home either.

You never know what might pop up in the random shit aisle.
