I’m a savvy shopper – six Aldi buys which are a total waste, don’t bother with the strawberries for a start | The Sun

A SAVVY shopper has revealed that there are six food items from Aldi that you should never buy.

So if you are looking to save some cash on your food shopping where possible, you’ll need to listen up.



According to bargain hunter and money-saving whizz Kathryn Leech, who is also known online as ‘Kat Saves’, the wonky strawberries from Aldi are a total waste of money as she claimed they go mouldy very quickly.

Not only this, but she hailed the rainbow salad as gross and claimed that she ‘always’ finds ‘bones’ in the chicken breasts. 

As well as this, Kat claimed that the bacon isn’t worth the cash, and neither are the lightly salted tortilla chips or the Cheese Puffs. 

Posting on TikTok under the username @katsaves, Kat shared her advice on the foods to avoid from the much-loved chain.

Then, Kat claimed that she wouldn’t advise shoppers to get the chicken breast fillets, as she claimed: “I always find bones in the chicken.”

Not only is she not a fan of the chicken, she also doesn’t like the back bacon too, as she continued: “Bacon shrivels up to nothing.”

When it comes to the crisp aisle, Kat was equally unimpressed, as she warned shoppers against the lightly salted tortilla chips and the Cheese Puffs.

When it comes to the tortilla chips, she said: “Basically cardboard.”

Equally, with the Cheese Puffs, she noted: “Cardboard but slightly cheesy.”

Kat shared her video just 17 hours ago, but it has quickly amassed 15,600 views. 

It has 247 likes, 23 comments and 7 saves.

Social media users were eager to agree with Kat in the comments.

One person said: “Their fruit and veg is so bad, the price has gone up and the quality is wack.”

Another added: “Agree with them all except I've never had bones in the chicken haha” to which Kat replied “I might have just been unlucky!” 

A third commented: “Switch to M&S… some of the prices on fruit, veg & meat aren’t too different to Aldi and the size/quality is much better.” 

At the same time, another shopper posted: “I would add their fruit and fibre. Similarly dull and tasteless.” 

However, one Aldi fan claimed: “I buy all of those and don't have any issues.” 

Whilst another revealed: “Buy the frozen chicken it's better, and there's nothing wrong with the bacon you’re obviously over cooking it.”
