There's many comments here complaining that it's impossible to shop at Aldi because they won't have all the ingredients for whatever dish they were planning to make. This is largely true, but I feel misses the point. For a grocery store to exhaustively and consistently stock all combinations of products you need for a given dish you have in mind costs money they need to roll onto you as a consumer. Rather, the idea with Aldi is that like with a farmers' market you should see what they have in stock at that moment and then decide what to cook.
