Not everything at the discount store is a great deal.

ALDI is by far my favorite grocery store in the whole wide world.

I shop there two or three times a week, and I get almost all of my groceries there.

Here are the groceries I avoid at ALDI.

Because theyre usually stocked side by side you might see how much more expensive the name-brand versions are.

The cubed Colby Jack costs 13 cents more per ounce, and these days every penny counts.

Coffee

I, admittedly, am a coffee snob.

I had a cappuccino maker before I had a television.

While I know some people love ALDIs selection of coffees, I do not care for them.

Most of the coffees on ALDIs shelves are pre-ground, not whole-bean, or theyre Keurig-style cups.

ALDIs coffee, in comparison, is just meh.

Yogurt

I like some of ALDIs yogurts.

However, compared to Trader Joes and other grocery stores, ALDIs selection is limited.

Youre not going to find whipped yogurt or Icelandic skyr or the fancy kind in glass cups.

Cereal

ALDI’s cereals can be hit or miss.

If you read the labelswhich I doyoud also note that ALDIs Cheerios dupes contain wheat.

This is also the case for the ALDI varieties of oatmeal.

I also dont care for ALDIs granolas.
