It’s no secret that I love ALDI haha. Looking back on my life as an adult I can’t really remember a time before ALDI was in my life. It all seems a blur up until we discovered each other. Every now and then I get to do some cool things with ALDI and this is one of those times.
I have always been a sold out lover of ALDI but my husband took a little more convincing. His opinions were based more on his fear of change than actual experience. I remember him specifically banning me from buying any meat from ALDI as he couldn’t get his head around believing it would taste great for such an affordable price.
Being the loving wife I am I bought it anyway and just didn’t tell him where I bought it from haha. I clearly remember the first time he ate the Highland Park Grass Fed Beef Porterhouse Steak and him asking me where the steak was from as it one of the best pieces he had had. You can imagine it was my pleasure and delight to tell him ALDI mwahahahaha. Since then he has come to love the ALDI range of meat and still comments to this day on how quality it seems for the price. We love that their fresh meat is all 100% Australian and there is a fantastic range of options to keep dinners interesting.
