ALDI’s popular product sparks outrage after one shopper’s complaint
- Replies 0
When shopping for groceries, you expect consistency, especially when it comes to packaging.
However, one ALDI shopper's recent experience with a popular product has sparked frustration and confusion.
What seemed like a simple snack purchase turned into a debate over accuracy in product counts.
When shopping at ALDI, most customers would expect to find the advertised number of items in a package.
However, one shopper recently raised eyebrows over a product that seemed to vary quite a bit.
The shopper posted on social media about her experience with ALDI’s Mac & Cheese Bites, which promised a pack of 12 but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
‘Purchased new mac & cheese balls for grandkids, 12 pack,’ she shared.
‘First box had 11 second box had 10! Come on, ALDI not good enough!’ she added.
Despite the discrepancy, she admitted the product itself was enjoyable.
‘PS kids loved them. I tasted one and were delish!’ she said.
But it wasn’t just her experience—many others chimed in, confirming similar issues with varying pack sizes.
‘I got 15! Someone be rolling their balls. Too big or too small, sending ALDI mums wild,’ one person wrote.
‘I got 13!’ another comment read.
‘I just bought a pack. Only 11 inside so I put a complaint form in. Just make sure you let them know through their website or it won't get fixed,’ a third person suggested.
This led some to speculate that weight might be the determining factor rather than the number of bites, even though the box clearly stated 12.
However, there were some commenters who defended ALDI, pointing out that the issue might stem from the supplier rather than the supermarket itself.
‘I think it might be the supplier/producer that has a problem with his machine—not ALDI,’ one person suggested.
‘ALDI doesn't package them though...’ another agreed.
‘Just going to say, how is this ALDI's fault? They don’t manufacture them, send your complaint to the company that manufactures them. Nothing to do with ALDI,’ a third person noted.
ALDI has been approached for comment on the matter.
In a previous story, we explored how ALDI is constantly evolving to meet customer expectations.
