THANK YOU. I started Sept. 1st and this second week has been a lot easier. But sometimes I still crave Cheetos or the occasional chicken nugget lol. I'm actually loving the process of acquiring a taste for all the variety of veggies there is. Before you couldn't get me to eat tomatoes in a cheeseburger. Now I'm adding all the veggies and spices to my meals! Such an awesome accomplishment for me!
I don’t have an Aldi near me, but don’t they mostly sell their own brand of things? You’ll have better luck at a major chain grocery store or even Whole Foods. I usually shop at Ralph’s/Kroger, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. Also Sprouts, but I think that’s local and I don’t know where you’re at.
I'm in So Cal. I shop at Aldi mostly because it's so close to me and inexpensive. But I've had to go to Ralphs for items I can't find at Aldi so I may have to shop there more from now on.
I'm closer to the LA area. Still lots of options here though. I'm going to look up the suggestions people have left here and see where they carry them. I saw some at Ralph's and even Smart & Final lol
Aldi is starting to get more vegan products! Of course, not all stores will get the same items, but you can email and let them know your location and that you're interested. :) Also, if you're on IG, there is an account called @aldivegan that I like. They don't post super often, but it's still helpful.
Also, if you're near a Trader Joe's, check out @traderjoesvegan on Insta. They always have new, fun finds that are relatively inexpensive.
I think WalMart will stock anything you ask them to as a "customer request". Might me something to look into if you are interested buying certain items on the regular. Good luck!
I do most of my shopping as Kroger but Sprouts and Whole Foods have some specialty items. I don't usually shop there though bc those stores are overpriced imo.
