Out of curiosity: what do you cook that you do not get at Aldi? Myself, I could get more than 90% of the ingredients of most recipes at Aldi. Some things I buy at an Asian or Turkish store, and I have to buy most cheeses somewhere else. But Aldi has come a long way, now they sell a decent variety of organic, regional produce.

I live close to an Aldi in the US. When it was first opened (Aldi 1.0) I would agree with parent that the selection and availability made it difficult to get the bulk of my grocerie needs there but since they remodeled (Aldi 2.0) they have wider selection and larger more reliable inventory especially for fresh items (produce, meat, dairy) and now it suites most of our needs. This my play a part in the varied experiences commentors are reporting
