Fruits & Veggies in Hesperia, CA

“Aldi is the closest store to a Trader Joe's up here in the High Desert. Since it is unlikely Trader Joe's will be setting up shop here during my lifetime, Aldi is the alternative in between trips down the hill. Price wise, they are competitive with other stores in the area. Quality is hit or miss on their own branded products but it is fun to try new things out. Aldi is probably the most keto, Paleo, gluten free, low carb friendly store I have ever seen. There is something for everyone here regardless of dietary requirements.They recently had the best pricing for asparagus from Mexico and Peru at $1.83 for a bunch. What a treat to have fresh roasted asparagus spears during the wintertime! It is a most pleasant change from the usual green beans found on the holiday feast table. Christmas gingerbread cookies imported from Germany are another favorite of mine. I am particularly fond of the Lebkuchen, iced cookies baked on a thin wafer with the crispy, spongy texture. These have a nice spice flavor. Not the usual cookie people are familiar with here so more for me!I like to also get the no-sugar meat snacks that are available at Aldi. The meat sticks have a good flavor and are practically guilt free in regard to sugar content. Berries are priced well here for the wintertime. It is the usual strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. The blackberries are particularly plump and fresh as well as sweet. Very appealing and appetizing.All in all, a good place to spend some time to explore the products. You won't know what will be there until you look. There is even an aisle of miscellaneous merchandise that is priced to clear. Quality is unknown so choose wisely. Bring a quarter for the shopping cart. The cashiers are very fast during the check out process. Plenty of parking in the shopping center.”
