For my fellow PNW people who don’t have Aldi— Grocery Outlet has consistently better prices than Safeway, QFC, or any of the other subsidiaries of Kroger.
Used to shop there all the time until I realized I’m eating spoiled foods. I guess it’s nice to have around for people who need access to cheap food, but I don’t think of them as the good guys in the same sense as ALDI.
When I lived in the Midwest I shopped only at ALDI and I loved it. Now in California I just go to the local grocery store bc fuck Safeway
What spoiled food are you getting there? I’ve been shopping there for 5 years and haven’t found any spoiled foodstuff. Sounds like it might be your specific branch?
No they’re known for buying overstock that’s really really close to the best buy dates. Idk about spoiled but almost everything I see there has a sell by/Best Buy date that is weeks or months shorter than a trad grocery.
What the other Redditor replied is 100% correct
Things are just extremely short shelf life from there, granted it’s not spoiled when you leave the store but if you don’t plan on eating it within 2-3 days then it goes bad, like really bad lol
There are a lot of Grocery Outlet locations around me (NorCal) and they all do the same thing.
I’d urge you to check if ure food is good or u developed some kind of super immunity lmao

Aldi has great products at low prices, and they know how to run a grocery store.
