Everything I have bought from Aldi has been of good quality, at least
comparative to typical grocery store fare. The fresh meat is all
injected, though, and so are the frozen chickens (it's hard to find ones
that aren't these days though). The Aldi by my house does not
refrigerate its produce, so I don't buy more than what I'll use in a few
days or can freeze, other than onions and potatoes.
