Kay and
K, we just don't get the Kringle love. We had one once. Thought it was way too sweet - not just the filling (raspberry), but the icing and dough, too. JMO. Besides, it leaves more of them for you guys.
Is your critique for a recent shopping experience, or from a long time ago? I first "met" Aldi in the second half of the 1980s. I was a Girl Scout leader at the time when Aldi opened a store in my suburb. As a leader, the prices were great! The girls were young (Brownies) and would eat just about anything. But for home use? I pretty much stuck to milk and eggs. "Fritos" were too salty and greasy. Produce was non-existent. "American cheese" slices WERE like plastic. But that was then. Aldi moved into the New England area maybe a decade ago. I could not believe how much better the products were! Produce is still a crap shoot, depending on the day and how they care for the produce while storing at that location, but we haven't found a problem with most anything else. And it's not like New England gets better product - we shop Aldi in FL or OH first when we're on vacation or visiting the kids back home. And if you have a problem or don't like a product? Do NOT throw it out! Just like TJ's, you get your money back if you return the product.
And the connection between Aldi and Trader Joe's? Here's a decent explanation:
Are Aldi and Trader Joe's the Same Company?
