After hearing about their low prices for years I finally tried aldi Saturday morning bright and early. Steady stream of customers but by no means a crowd which always tells me a lot. My main reason for going was they were on the list of 8 best grocery stores to buy steaks.
They had a small amount of them mostly grass fed in those vacuum sealed bags. They were a lot cheaper as were lambchops. I found produce to be cheaper and some frozen items. Lots and lots of brand x stuff too that I am hesitant about purchasing. When I got home and cut open the packaging on the steak had a really funky odor which made me think it was spoiled but when I googled it seems like this isn't totally abnormal and if there's no slim its okay. Anyways I rinsed it off and saturated it in sea salt, black pepper, onions, fresh rosemary and garlic and butter for a few hours.
When I cooked it I was very disappointed. It tasted like all the other crappy Ribeye steaks I've been getting at all the local grocery stores lately. Store was very clean and cashiers nice and friendly. read more
