    This was a pleasant surprise as we discovered this microwaveable breakfast just recently in the ALDI freezer case.  The breakfast includes 3 medium sized pancakes and 2 sausage links.  It can be cooked in about 2 Minutes in a standard microwave.  (more…)

    ALDI carries a small selection of different yogurt styles.  This review covers the Fit & Active brand.  The yogurt is pre-blended and contains a sugar substitute.
    There are several different flavors available including Cherries Jubilee, Peach Parfait, Key Lime Pie and Strawberry.
    This yogurt has a smooth texture and pleasing flavor.  There are small amounts of real fruit mixed in and the containers are sealed with foil.  The entire family likes this yogurt and the price is extremely reasonable.  The quality is very competitive with the major brands.  The only negative I could find is there are only 4 flavors available.

    Overall very good buy.  Good flavor.  Entire family likes this yogurt.  Personally was surprised as it is a sugar substitute and I even like the Peach and Cherry flavors.

    This is one of my favorite coffees available at ALDI.  The coffee is sold under the Beaumont name as Donut Store Blend. The price is good and the quality of the coffee exceeds expectations.
    The coffee is a medium roast and has a very smooth flavor with a hint of sweetness perfect for a morning cup.  The coffee has become a favorite in the household and is always kept in the cupboard now.  It is difficult to compare to any brand coffee as it has it’s own unique qualties but it is similar to Dunkin’ Donuts in some aspects.

    I recommend this coffee highly. The quality and flavor for the price are hard to beat. A very good cup of coffee at a great price.

    Another coffee review focusing on one of the bargain bagged coffees available at ALDI. I have made a point to attempt to try as many of the ALDI coffee flavors available.  There are quite a few available priced at either $2.99 or $3.99 a 12oz. bag.
    This coffee is labeled 100% Arabica French Roast Premium Blend.  The coffee comes in a 12oz. bag and is ground. This is a very good value coming in at $4.00 per lb.  The coffee has a nice sweet overtone with bold notes.  It is typical of a French roast from the other major coffee companies such as Millstone and Peete’s.  I would definitely buy this again and recommend it.

    If you are looking to save a few dollars this is worth checking out if you enjoy a dark cup of coffee.
