Aldi Brand Mayo

I'm usually pretty fair game when it comes to store brand/generic products ... for MOST things.

Certain things, as in laundry soap (TIDE), dish soap (DAWN) and a few other things (shampoo and conditioner) I've got to have the real deal.

If you shop at Aldis, you know that 98% of the stuff is their brand. Once in a while you can come across a name brand but not too often. I've been pleased for the most part with the quality/taste and such. (Inquire about the Happy Cow dairy products with anyone in my family).

Except for the mayo.

I'm a Hellman's girl. Uh huh. I just never realized it until yesterday when I made an egg salad sandwich. Blech.

I would compare the Aldi brand mayo (Fit N Active Light) more to Kraft mayo, even perhaps ::gasp:: MIRACLE WHIP (who eats that stuff??) It's tangy. Lemony. Funky fluffy airy creamy odd stuff.

So, adding to my list of non-generic acceptable items: Mayo.

Has anyone else out there found a storebrand that's NOT all that and more?

  1. I'm like you, I am usually happy with store brands, but I don't do store brand yogurts. It has got to be Cascade Fresh yogurt or I go without. :)

  2. Ketchup and Bleach: Heinz and Clorox or do without.

  4. FIF,
    Do you have Kroger's where you are?
    I like their brand of mayo even better than the Aldi! ;-)
    For years I didn't know the difference in the mayos...now I (think I) have learned- one's kinda sweet, the other more sour?
