We shop at Aldi every week because of the brilliant value for money. Most of their products are good quality at a good price. HOWEVER, just recently I have had to take 'fresh' chicken back for the second time. On both occasions, the chicken had gone off well before the 'use before' date, and on both occasions I was given a replacement, but without surprise, explanation or apology from the store manager. This leads me to believe that Aldi are still purchasing in chicken from dodgy sources, which is unbelievable after the scandals a couple of years ago. My other gripe relates to their Covid policies. Basically, Aldi, being generally cramped, cannot comply with Covid distancing store policies, so you are taking a risk most times you shop there, especially if the mask policy is not enforced by their staff. Having said all this, we will continue to shop at Aldi, but with caution.
