We all love a bargain, and when it comes to groceries, one of the best places to find marked-down deals is at ALDI. Known for their low prices, ALDI is a great place to stock up on pantry staples and other grocery items.

Some savvy ALDI shoppers even suggest looking for deals on items that are nearing their use-by dates. This can be a great way to get items for a fraction of the cost, and you can often still use them before they go bad.

However, there is a downside to buying groceries that are marked down because they're nearing their expiry date. While you may save a few dollars on your purchase, the quality of the food may not be as good as if you had bought it fresh.

If you're a fan of ALDI, you may want to think twice before buying your next bunch of fresh produce that is nearing its use-by date.

A customer has made the rounds on social media after sharing a photo of some carrots that had gone bad, claiming that they had only been stored for a few days.

The shopper wrote in the caption: 'Never in my almost 70 years have I ever had carrots go off like these carrots, I usually get another week at least or more after use by date.'

However, the woman noted that the carrots had a use by date of October 6.

'But still never seen this state before and kept in the fridge since purchase. Not shall I ever purchase veg from ALDI again,' she added.

This prompted a discussion among customers, with some saying that this is becoming a common problem with supermarket vegetables.

One person wrote: 'I won't buy produce from ALDI. Every time I go there, there are mouldy fruits and the vegetables have already gone off.'

However, some users pointed out that it's normal for the carrots to get 'spoiled' because of the environment where it was being grown and kept.

One shopper claimed: 'Funny how no one seems to understand that it's got more to do with the weather condition and environment than ALDI selling old stock.'

'The moisture and condensation that accumulates plus the added humidity from the current weather conditions cause the mould to grow from the carrots,' they explained.

Another chimed in: 'I find all carrots are going like that no matter where they come from.'

While it's true that weather conditions can play a role in how quickly vegetables go bad, it's also worth noting that many of these items are stored for long periods before they even make it to the shelves.

One comment read: 'They’ve been storing them too long. I can literally confirm that apples you buy from the supermarket and markets are sometimes 6 to 12 months old from pick.'

Several shoppers also claimed that the incident has never happened to the produce they had purchased from the German retailer before.

'I have never had bad produce, fruit or vegetable, from ALDI,' one customer said.

Another added: 'Never did this happen to me.'

Others, however, confirmed that the carrots are still edible as long as you prepare them properly.

One person suggested: 'My carrots go like that sometimes, they are still useable just cut the black bits off.'

Some pointed out that if you're concerned about freshness, you may want to buy your produce from a local market instead, while others pointed out that you should purchase produce that is not about to go off so you can consume them at their peak freshness.

Speaking of which, is it worth it to try and save money by buying items that are about to expire? For some people, the answer may be yes. But it's important to weigh the pros and cons before you make your decision.

For example, it is wise to purchase these fruits and vegetables if you're going to use them right away.

But if you're buying them just because they're cheap, it may not be worth it. After all, you'll have to use them up quickly before they go bad, and you may not be able to get the full nutritional value from them.

So, it really depends on your personal circumstances. But it's definitely something to consider before you make your purchase.

There you have it, folks! We must admit that our carrots have never gone quite so bad as those in this story, so, we want to know if this has ever happened to you. And if it did, what did you do about it? Did you still use them? Share your experience with us in the comments below!

The retailer I buy from has always had top class fruit and veggies, but at the moment they are not keeping as well as previously. It has been a difficult season for growing, and remember that these products are not grown in a petri dish but in the real weather.

 

[Suzanne rose]

I don't get why someone would post a picture or story of their mouldy vegies.
Just throw them out or compost them.

A few weeks ago I had carrots that went bad like this. I picked them up and placed them in my compost bag.
Should I have taken a photo ? .......NO

Yep it happened to me - the carrots were brown, soft and mushy !!! I bought them for the usual price - not on sale - horrible so had to throw them out!!! I now buy all my veges from a local fruit and veg man - I pay more but the fruit and vegetables are amazing - the taste so different! It’s worth the extra !!!

Yes I bought them from Coles and they weren’t discounted never took them back as the store 18 klm away

I also, bought 1 kg of carrots at Coles and they went just like the image above within 4 days. It is a skin disease. i dont know what type but it will peel off with the skin. I say it is something imported and now will spread across the country. Storing in Plastic may be wrong as the water could have come from any asian country.... Maybe the have to be washed in our cleaner water immediately after purchase. YES, I stored them in the bag so next time a change of plan is needed.
