It’s also not even the cheapest. A lot of food at ALDI is both cheaper and of a better quality.
Edit: I like the alternate opinions, like where people say what things in Great Value they still like. We do still buy a few Great Value things, too!

It kind of brings to mind the unmelting icecream sandwiches. There’s a lot of chemistry going into that food to make it edible for pennies.
That being said, I see a lot of families in that store scraping by and trying to feed everyone in the house and it’s got to be hard to pass on a product that is often half the cost of the brand name.
Yeah, I feel bad for people without ALDI. We’re barely scraping by too.
Why? Aldi food sucks if you ask me. It might be cheap but it isn’t good. I stopped shopping there a long time ago because their version of food is not nearly as tasty as real grocery stores.
It depends on what you buy. Most of the stuff at ALDI is both cheaper and of better quality than Great Value specifically. Yeah, it obviously might not compare to a better brand than Great Value.
Yea due to all of the gum they add to it. Not the best thing for your stomach. It doesn’t exactly represent “great value”.
I mean, pesticides, preservatives, and shelf-stabilizers aren’t bad. They’re good. It really just depends on what you’re using to do those things. A lot of the time additives are harmless. Ice cream stabilizer? Harmless, serves its purpose well. Soy filler in your frozen beef burrito? Harmless cheapening additive, and it’s still food.
I know corporations suck, I know that they do all sorts of dirty tricks and get away with them. But I really dislike the demonization of food— which is also a kind of ignorance that many food labels use to sell you their bullshit.
