The "oreos" taste exactly like the originals.

The ritz-type crackers are every bit as good as name brand.

Same for eheat thin-type crackers.

Same for potato chips, tortilla chips, frito-type corn chips, & dorito-type chips.

Butter is as good as name brands.

Mocha iced coffee is better, imo, than name brands.

Olives, banana pepper rings, ripe olives, & salad dressings are all excellent.

And, best part, they offer a double satisfaction guarantee. If you don't like something, return it & you get your money back and a product of equal or less cost free.

The only things I don't like of Aldi's is their dill pickles. Mushy. Yuck. Lol

But I save hundreds each month shopping there, even ordering through Instacart.



On edit: seriously, do try their peanut butter sandwich cookies! Muvh lower sugar than most cookies, under $3/bag, & imo better flavor than Planter's.
