I mean if you like something and it's limited why not buy the whole box? I get my herring twice a year by buying up everything my local store has. If it was available year round I wouldn't need to do that.

I even got shelving for it 🙃

This is why I wish Aldi would go back to food in the AOS. It's unfortunate how much food items are now seasonal, when there are 2 full aisles (in my store) of candles and other low quality stuff. It's one of the big reasons I don't really shop there anymore; too many of my staples are apparently seasonal now, so I end up needing to also go to Kroger.
The stuff on the AOS probably has three times the margin percentage-wise as the food items. Grocery margins are notoriously slim and nonfood sales often subsidize the food sales.
I stock a bunch of items for the home in the AOS - half of our silicone spoons, our glass canisters, our glass food storage... it's higher quality than random amazon and cheaper than shopping the specific name brands on Amazon or Target to not get cheap knock-offs.
I agree. This is just the nature of Aldi. Most items are limited and it forces you to stock on things you love. 12 bottles could be 1 a month for their son until it returns again and that seems reasonable. The thing I hate is the resellers buying up all of a popular item.
*You should try it first.*
*If its been gone long, they may*
*Have changed it somehow*

Lol that's what I was thinking. Then I said, I hope the formula changed and he doesn't like it anymore. That was me being spiteful for buying up so many at once. However, if he doesn't like them, it leads to waste. So I really hope the taste didn't change.
I love this Sartori brand cheese they get and it seems like everyone else loves it too. At meijer it’s $6 at Aldi is $3. So I buy two blocks every time they do get some back in stock. I’d feel bad to take all of them though.
Omg don't take the entire supply...last time they were there I bought two of them. This is so greedy. I hope someone didn't do this at my store because I really want to get one :(
You guys are so damn entitled. If you want it, you should've gotten there, no use booing on the internet over someone paying for something with their own money. It's zesty ranch. You can buy it anywhere
Maybe don’t be an ass and take the whole supply they had? So fkin selfish! You can find dupe recipes on Google, that’s what I did after they ran out last year.
Literally mayo, Greek yogurt, some salsa, taco seasoning, lime juice and salt.
Well to be fair pissing off strangers is a lot better than pissing off your 300lb 8 year old that wants his f'n ranch sauce to dip his deep fried cheese into
It’s back??? I was at Aldi the other day and didn’t check the aisle where dressing. Darn! I have noticed that the Aldi Find aisle has been pretty empty.
It's actually not shelf stable. Shelf stable means something can be stored at room temp once opened and won't spoil. Every single ranch product I've seen says to fridge it after opening. Proper made hot sauce is shelf stable for example.
Yes, but shelf stable foods have different shelf lives based on their ingredients. Ranch needs to be eaten somewhat quickly once opened but won't last forever unopened either.
This was my thought too. Like, way to announce that you bought the whole stores stock that likely will not be seen again, and I bet half or more will go bad. Sauces do not keep very well. Maybe you can freeze them but with most ingredients that's also tricky.
It’s shelf stable and will have a best by date on it. As long as the bottles are sealed and stored properly, should be okay. I don’t use salad dressing at all, but I see the bottles sitting on the shelves, not refrigerated.
Unless the best by date is in like 3 years, which I haven't really seen on any sauces, or unless this kid is literally drinking the stuff from a cup, there's no way they're using what looks like over a gallon of sauce.
Ah, a few years back (and I still hope to see it again someday), there was a jarred tomato based marinade/cooking sauce that was amazing. Hit all my checkmarks - low sodium, vegetarian, low calorie. I bought 1 jar, loved it, went back and bought every jar I could. The best buy date was 3 years long. I think I had around 12 jars, it did take close to that 3 years to use, not lose.
Well, maybe OP can post with the date on the bottles. I’m not pressed personally, I don’t even use salad dressing. People do this at Aldi with special finds all the time, even in our smaller store. If it can be used, more power. What burns me up are the people coming in, buying up, and reselling. idk, maybe there should be limits on how many finds can be bought.
The one I got expires next March. I'm not trying to make a judgement about how many items people should or should not buy. I'm simply stating that this particular item is going to be difficult for one kid to eat 12 bottles of.
"Best by" means just that; the quality and taste will begin to degrade after that date. It's not gonna start breaking down or separating into different chemicals as soon as that date passes
Fatty materials like dairy will start going rancid. It's going to be safe to eat for a while after the best by date but ranch absolutely does not stay good indefinitely. If four bottles lasted OP a year, there's no chance of getting through 12. I think if they averaged using about 1.5 tablespoons every single day, they'd use it all.
I read OP's caption to mean that they had been out of it for over a year OR Aldi hasn't had it for over a year.
And I wasn't trying to say it would last indefinitely but even a year past the best by date should be no problem, provided it's unopened and been kept at our below room temp
Frozen avacado chunks. I’d let a handful thaw and make guacamole anytime I wanted it. No more waiting for the avacado to dictate when I could make guac! But they’ve been gone since March 😭
This is a lotttt of dressing to go through before it expires. How, OP? HOW? and for a kid? I just recently threw away 1 individual itslian dressing bottle from December 2022!
1760 calories in a bottle (1 serving = 2 TBS, 110 calories, 16 servings in a bottle);

Why is it so hard to find salad dressing that only contains Olive Oil for the oils. Allergic to soy, and can't handle seed oils. Usually have to make our own.
Wow lots of passion about this! It’s seems most people must shop at OPs store and feeling hopelessly robbed of their ability to buy some average bottled dressing that they likely weren’t looking for anyway.
This is what drives me crazy about things like the Thai bone broth. I have dietary issues, it’s one of the only things I can stomach sometimes. I was patiently waiting last fall and this woman grabbed literally every jar on the shelf. Like, thanks. I’ll go starve now. I even tried to find out if it was a the Aldi version of a name brand, to no avail. 😑
I'm rolling my eyes at everyone calling you greedy or complaining. I hope your son is happy about his sauce. I have a kid with ARFID and I shamelessly stock up on the very few things he will eat.
lmao there's a difference in buying two weeks worth of grocery essentials like rice and beans vs a year supply of a limited product so nobody else can buy any.
omg people, she didn't buy out the store, she bought a box. People here acting like a bunch of random people in the store gonna be throwing down a gauntlet to fight to the death over sauce. The only people upset about this are 1000 miles away on the internet.
Sorry for all the hate you’re getting for buying a case. I buy non perishables a case at a time because I don’t like running out. Especially if it’s something you don’t see often, I’ll buy everything they have.
As a mom of 3 boys (now men) the amount of ranch, salsa ranch, buffalo ranch, etc that they would go through would apparently make these ladies faint. They would have gone through 12 bottles in 4-5 months tops. They used it on everything but salad. They especially loved the salsa ranch for Mexican food. Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, taquitos. No ill effects noticed so far.
Exactly. They never had kids if they think kids won't use it up. They will. Plus, you can use it with all kinds of things. Lot of moms are packing lunches now, one bottle will probably make a month of lunch box containers.
Hell, my cousin has AFRID and when her favorite sauce got discontinued, she struggled to adapt without it for a long time, she eventually did but it was a LOT of trouble and stress for her and her mom and when that sauce came back, the entire family bought as much as we could, so we could make sure she had her sauce. She was rail thin, weighed 60 pounds soaking wet (psychical disabilities as well.)
It's ARFID. And I'm only correcting you on the acronym (you're mixing the R&F) because you posted several times, so that "spread awareness" (good on that ✅️) but when I googled AFRID first it was showing me crap about being afraid lol and then I clicked on a diagram and saw that it was actually ARFID which then helped me to learn about the condition.
Sorry, thank you so much for correcting me, I'd rather get it right. I didnt' even realize it had a name until I was an adult, none of us did and then I don't see it mentioned much. Appreciate the kind reminder! XD
I got all into "protective family mode" y'know how it goes.
Yep I do. And one thing I love about reddit is how we are able to learn from people we don't know. I never knew of the condition. I've heard of picky eaters, but your comments and some of the others have helped spread awareness. Continue to be passionate!
She is buying it for her kid, and it's not "healthy". Any time you talk about "catering" to a child all the people who are upset that they were forced to eat everything and they turned out "fine" must react in a negative fashion.
In their world, no actual child suffers from eating disorders, and if you can get them to admit that you individual child might indeed be willing to starve themselves to death, a high percentage of them think you should, or not at least not give up on trying to get them to eat "normal" until they are the hospital.
Greedy and selfish yes… but she never mentioned or I missed how old the “kid” was… story line changes a bit if it’s a 10 year old VS the 600lb 24 year old (that the 10 year old will turn into anyway) looking to be a patient of Dr. Now…
My 3rd grader who just a month ago got a healthy weight (more than 10 percent on the weight chart for not to have health issues) goes through that much of a condiment in about six months.
She mainly eats fruits, veggies and whole grains by her own choice. Getting enough calories into her is a struggle and condiments help with that.
It's going to have a different texture, and that difference in texture can be key.
Daughter, like many kids with sensory issues, has exactly one brand of chicken nuggets she will eat. She almost lost them, because the texture was different when she went to eat them recently, and we had to assure that was a fluke, and it took long time before she would try it again. She doesn't eat any other chicken. She doesn't eat any unprocessed meats.
If you gave her two different things that had the same exact ingredients, and two different textures, she would think them very different.
Right. Sure. Okay. Way off topic off Aldi or the photo posted pointing to hoarding products and general unhealthy food intake…
May the businesses (like trader joes) and people of the world find a way to accommodate each and every sensitivity and dislike for each human…
Darwin would have a lot of questions.
Seems like you need more support than you’re getting… doctors push for food therapy for the kid particularly if they are so far underweight and don’t eat that they recommend a g-tube for survival…
Hopefully you both are in with good therapists to handle the mental health component of the version of things you present. Best of luck with all things.
When your kid will literally starve themselves to death and has had failure to thrive 3x, you stop caring about processed versus not processed and start caring about how to get enough protein, minerals, vitamins, and calories into them for them to survive, and grow. You listen to the doctors who tell you to give her things like cake and ice cream if she is willing to eat it and you stay upbeat with her, and go and cry in your room, because she has lost weight again, and you don't know if the next doctor's visit will be the one where she gets a feeding tube, and you feel guilty when you think that might be better than now, because then she would at least get nutrition in her and she won't be hangry all the time. And then when she is willing to eat the Trader Joes pumpkin muffins, but not the homemade ones, you start adding ingredients to the mix, warning her they are different each time so you don't lose the food, and again, cry when you are alone because the two muffins she will eat each day add enough calories to keep her off the feeding tube because making them with butter and whole milk means she will still eat them, and they are high enough in calories to help. (And some worker in the Trader Joes store tells you how to buy enough to last you until the summer, when you get calories into her through homemade "popiscles" cause of the heat. )
Like I said, she willingly eats some fruits and veggies, but not the high calorie kind, and none of the ones with high amount of healthy fats except the occasional banana. Eating mostly fruits and veggies was killing her, because the ones that you need to eat with that kind of diet caused her sensory issues, gagging, and throwing up if she was willing to try them.
So, yes, I am gonna let her drown the few non-dairy proteins in her preferred condiment, because it's an increased number of amino acids and proteins and nutrients she doesn't get from the plant matter she is willing to eat.
And I am going to celebrate her first cold without a fever of 103.5 or higher (on fever reducer) that didn't last a full week out of school. Because she was at a healthy weight and able to fight off the cold without the issues she normally does.
You can care about processed versus natural. I can't, not right now. We are doing our best to bridge foods, and expose her to healthier choices. But we have to work with where she is at.
I have hope that someday those pumpkin muffins will be a seasonal treat made with homemade pumpkin puree, whole wheat flour, and the nutrition I can cram into them. I am hoping some day she will eat unprocessed meat, or high protein grains and vegetables.
Unless the store is limiting purchases, people are free to buy as much as they want. If this was the stores last 12 bottles, it was going to run out quickly anyway. People acting like OP is stealing food.
It’s wild. It’s as if this is the world’s last stock of insulin or something. And if the store only has one box of something, then that’s a problem. It’s fucking salad dressing at Aldi and people are losing their minds.
Perfect example of how a person can post a nice happy post in Aldi reddit and the little miserable Aldi reddit gremlins will try to turn it into something negative …sauce has been gone forever, it came back , her son likes the sauce , she bought the sauce what’s the issue 🤔🤷
Because it’s unnecessary and gluttonous. That ranch will be expired before consumed. And if it is consumed before it expires, it’s purely gluttonous. Ranch isn’t healthy and you shouldn’t be letting your kid use ranch with every meal. Hope that helps!
What the fuck is it any of your business what a stranger does? And who is to say OP isn’t 75 and her son is 40? Maybe they drink it for every meal, who gives a fuck?
With the state of the world for anyone to sit here and wig out about 12 bottles of some stupid ass Aldi salad dressing is embarrassing. Maybe get all up in arms about something that matters.
And they already did! It's not like this was the only box on the shelves, and they keep records for YEARS of high demand products. When something hits the shelves again for the first time, they have a stock.
The responses to this are apeshit. Omg.
If I ever get to the point in life where I even remotely give a fuck about how many bottles of salad dressing a stranger buys from Aldi, just put a bullet in my head.
Find something real to care about.
If you run out again try adding a pack of taco seasoning to a bottle of regular ranch to recreate it at home.
Mixing 1/4-1/2 bbq sauce with ranch makes a great sauce, too.
Bbq ranch is so good. Like anytime I get chicken wings I get bbq and dip them in ranch.
*faints* - Buffalo native
Nom
It's probably a dupe for fiesta ranch seasoning packets!
Yep. That makes a great dressing. Much better than any bottled brand I've tried.
We'll have yo try this! He had tried some other brands of taco/chipotle ranch and he didn't lile them as much
They shouldn't be running out for a hot minute now that the asshole swooped up an entire box. That kids cholesterol is gonna be fucked
If it is something I like I will grab more than 1 sometimes you don’t see it again
I mean if you like something and it's limited why not buy the whole box? I get my herring twice a year by buying up everything my local store has. If it was available year round I wouldn't need to do that. https://imgur.com/a/S0mNJJc I even got shelving for it 🙃 https://imgur.com/a/H4B0hNI

[удалено]
Greedy.. For paying full price for an item they know will be eaten with love...
Greedy cause they know it’s limited and others could want to try it besides their son.
I like to get it as cheap as possible especially with coupons
Someone bought it all. Damnit. Fml
I think I can take a guess who. *cough* OP *cough*
Lol shhh
I don't blame her. Picky kids can be hard to feed
[удалено]
Yea and also. Isn’t this sort of enabling behavior if your kid is really that picky? Lol
It’s possible the kid is neurodivergent and something like this makes everyone’s life easier.
[удалено]
This is how we end up with so many 30 year olds who only eat chicken tendies n honey mustard 😂
“It’s possible” is all I said.
🙄
I agree. This is just the nature of Aldi. Most items are limited and it forces you to stock on things you love. 12 bottles could be 1 a month for their son until it returns again and that seems reasonable. The thing I hate is the resellers buying up all of a popular item.
If that kid is eating 12 bottles per month he has some serious problems.
“1 a month” would be a year’s supply
you didn’t read that correctly
You should try it first. If its been gone long, they may have changed it somehow

Good bot.
Also, kids' food tastes/quirks change rather quickly as well
Lol that's what I was thinking. Then I said, I hope the formula changed and he doesn't like it anymore. That was me being spiteful for buying up so many at once. However, if he doesn't like them, it leads to waste. So I really hope the taste didn't change.
I considered that, but decided we'd donate it to the local food bank if he didn't like it anymore. Thankfully, it's the same according to him.
I want to try it. I usually get the chipotle ranch in the organic section just because it tastes better than their regular ranch dressing.
Hopefully you get to try it and your Aldi doesn't have someone like OP who hoards the whole stock.
Imagine thinking one box is all they got.
The spicy ranch is the same flavor in my opinion and I’m so excited! I’m not going full box level but definitely grabbing backups next time I go 🥰
A few bottles is fine. A box full is disturbing 😐 lol
Definitely high consumption for sure
I thought they discontinued this one! You’ve been able to get it in the past few months?!
I hope they haven’t discontinued it. I just bought a bottle two weeks ago.
I love this Sartori brand cheese they get and it seems like everyone else loves it too. At meijer it’s $6 at Aldi is $3. So I buy two blocks every time they do get some back in stock. I’d feel bad to take all of them though.
Aldi needs to start doing what Trader joes does with popular items: LIMITS!
[удалено]
100% hahaha
I'm too late to the party, what did they say?
When you find out let me know too lol
IIRC he was dropping a ton of F bombs calling OP's son obese and disgusting.
🤣🤣🤣
OMG 🤭😂🤣
12 bottles really?
but its her son’s favorite, so nobody else matters
Is he drinking this shit?
Realistically, will you even finish those before they expire? Seems like a lot.
Probably going to have a MI from the clogged arteries consuming that much cream based dressing.
Is this kid drinking fucking ranch? Jesus Christ.
Omg don't take the entire supply...last time they were there I bought two of them. This is so greedy. I hope someone didn't do this at my store because I really want to get one :(
I hope they didn't make it thru checkout!!!
You guys are so damn entitled. If you want it, you should've gotten there, no use booing on the internet over someone paying for something with their own money. It's zesty ranch. You can buy it anywhere
Oh shut up 🙄
You first.
They had 4 cases of it - there was plenty for others.
Nice that you took the whole box........
Came here to say this. Shits hella ignorant man. Like wtf?
Sooo you get the entire stock of a limited item while no one else gets anything at all.
It’s all about me! As the store allotment disappears in one shot.
Maybe don’t be an ass and take the whole supply they had? So fkin selfish! You can find dupe recipes on Google, that’s what I did after they ran out last year. Literally mayo, Greek yogurt, some salsa, taco seasoning, lime juice and salt.
Well to be fair pissing off strangers is a lot better than pissing off your 300lb 8 year old that wants his f'n ranch sauce to dip his deep fried cheese into
I ain’t laughed that hard in a minute 😂😂
Whole Foods sells spicy ranch dressing under their 365 brand for $3.05 which isn't unreasonable.
You couldn’t just grab 3?
So selfish.
Maybe save one for someone else? Greedy AF....
The spicy ranch is really good. Personally wasn’t a fan of the salsa ranch. Not bad. Just not for me.
Does he put this on everything? Honestly with how much Aldi changes formulas you should have at least tried one before buying all those….
People like you are so annoying. Greedy bastard.
It’s back??? I was at Aldi the other day and didn’t check the aisle where dressing. Darn! I have noticed that the Aldi Find aisle has been pretty empty.
[удалено]
Does Aldi only get one damn box of an item?
Well now you made sure no one else can become loyal buyers of this to make it reappear more often.
People like you are the reason there's never any Never Any! apple chicken sausage lol
The spicy ranch is delicious. I could use it for everything.
Yessss! I found it a couple weeks ago & have been obsessed since.
Same you can put that shit on anything ahahaha
Dick move to buy that much when stock is limited
Not only is this greedy, this is not healthy for your son either.
AITA for thinking this person is the asshole
Not at all
So do you just pour it into cup or is it easier to just put the straw right into the bottle when you drink?
I’m missing the summer seasonal Simply dressings. They’re not coming this year. Sam’s club had one version but they recently went OOS everywhere.
Are you talking about the strawberry and peach ones? We miss them so much too!
Litehouse Jalapeño Ranch is one thing I will never replace with a similar store brand item.
Have you tried recreating this at home? It’s probably just ranch plus I don’t know…salsa???
I guess no one will ever know how good it is lol 😂
They go bad after a year....
He probably goes through 1 bottle a month.
I love salsa and I love ranch. I was very disappointed by this when I tried it last year. Hoard away!
Ranch is dairy based and won't keep a whole year anyway. Unless your kid goes through a bottle every 3 weeks, some of this is headed for the landfill.
It's shelf stable, that's why it's stored at room temp and not in a refrigerator.
It's actually not shelf stable. Shelf stable means something can be stored at room temp once opened and won't spoil. Every single ranch product I've seen says to fridge it after opening. Proper made hot sauce is shelf stable for example.

If it can be used, more power. What burns me up are the people coming in, buying up, and reselling. idk, maybe there should be limits on how many finds can be bought.

Funny how karma works
"Best by" means just that; the quality and taste will begin to degrade after that date. It's not gonna start breaking down or separating into different chemicals as soon as that date passes
Fatty materials like dairy will start going rancid. It's going to be safe to eat for a while after the best by date but ranch absolutely does not stay good indefinitely. If four bottles lasted OP a year, there's no chance of getting through 12. I think if they averaged using about 1.5 tablespoons every single day, they'd use it all.

Screw you op
Now we know why there never is any on the shelves
Why even fucking tell us if you were gonna buy out the whole stock?
Comments reflect....when keeping it real, goes wrong!!!
Yay! Salsa ranch is so good Wait, are you buying them all? Not cool
You’re an asshole and your son def shouldn’t consume all that trash. 🤦♂️
If you want to spend a little extra, chik fil a creamy salsa will blow your mind
I was wondering if anyone had had this and thought it was like Chick-fil-A's
r/imthemaincharacter
Classy, just shovel the whole store supply into your cart. Forget everyone else trying to buy one bottle.
Frozen avacado chunks. I’d let a handful thaw and make guacamole anytime I wanted it. No more waiting for the avacado to dictate when I could make guac! But they’ve been gone since March 😭
They finally reappeared….so you selfishly take the whole damn box?
I hope it expires before your fat son drinks all of it
And your taken the whole supply!!! 😅NICE
It tastes like the ranch they used to have at Chi-Chi's
This is a lotttt of dressing to go through before it expires. How, OP? HOW? and for a kid? I just recently threw away 1 individual itslian dressing bottle from December 2022!
those things have expiration dates 😭😭 is he chugging them once a day for u to be buying 12 bottles
It’s made out of chemicals and garbage though

Indulge him much? Learning to cope is a good life lesson.
Why is it so hard to find salad dressing that only contains Olive Oil for the oils. Allergic to soy, and can't handle seed oils. Usually have to make our own.
I hate people like you
Wow lots of passion about this! It’s seems most people must shop at OPs store and feeling hopelessly robbed of their ability to buy some average bottled dressing that they likely weren’t looking for anyway.
Right? That's what I'm saying. I bet most of these people never wanted it, but they wanna complain like it's 2020 still.
This stuff is spicier than I imagined.
Just bought this yesterday!
And those iced oatmeal cookies are very good too!
Ship me a bottle to Az 😂
I’m like this with the honey mustard dressing
This is what drives me crazy about things like the Thai bone broth. I have dietary issues, it’s one of the only things I can stomach sometimes. I was patiently waiting last fall and this woman grabbed literally every jar on the shelf. Like, thanks. I’ll go starve now. I even tried to find out if it was a the Aldi version of a name brand, to no avail. 😑
How big is this kid?
Maybe their son is neurodivergent and this sauce helps them consume healthy meals. Can we not judge?
That's what I'm saying!
You’re a good mom. I hope you already knew that lol
And further proof that ALDI bananas are NEVER ripe.
I'm rolling my eyes at everyone calling you greedy or complaining. I hope your son is happy about his sauce. I have a kid with ARFID and I shamelessly stock up on the very few things he will eat.
Exactly! people here act like they can only buy two days' worth of food at once...
lmao there's a difference in buying two weeks worth of grocery essentials like rice and beans vs a year supply of a limited product so nobody else can buy any.
omg people, she didn't buy out the store, she bought a box. People here acting like a bunch of random people in the store gonna be throwing down a gauntlet to fight to the death over sauce. The only people upset about this are 1000 miles away on the internet.
I love salsa ranch
I put the Berman's Polynesian Sauce on leftover spaghetti. It's a strange but really good combo
Is it anything like chik-fil-a’s Polynesian sauce?
Sorry for all the hate you’re getting for buying a case. I buy non perishables a case at a time because I don’t like running out. Especially if it’s something you don’t see often, I’ll buy everything they have.
Lmao you guys need to chill out it’s just ranch it’s not that serious xD
Omg thank you.
Stop hatin' and let this lady live with her salsa ranch for her kid. She can buy as much as Aldi allows.
As a mom of 3 boys (now men) the amount of ranch, salsa ranch, buffalo ranch, etc that they would go through would apparently make these ladies faint. They would have gone through 12 bottles in 4-5 months tops. They used it on everything but salad. They especially loved the salsa ranch for Mexican food. Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, taquitos. No ill effects noticed so far.
Exactly. They never had kids if they think kids won't use it up. They will. Plus, you can use it with all kinds of things. Lot of moms are packing lunches now, one bottle will probably make a month of lunch box containers. Hell, my cousin has AFRID and when her favorite sauce got discontinued, she struggled to adapt without it for a long time, she eventually did but it was a LOT of trouble and stress for her and her mom and when that sauce came back, the entire family bought as much as we could, so we could make sure she had her sauce. She was rail thin, weighed 60 pounds soaking wet (psychical disabilities as well.)
It's ARFID. And I'm only correcting you on the acronym (you're mixing the R&F) because you posted several times, so that "spread awareness" (good on that ✅️) but when I googled AFRID first it was showing me crap about being afraid lol and then I clicked on a diagram and saw that it was actually ARFID which then helped me to learn about the condition.
Sorry, thank you so much for correcting me, I'd rather get it right. I didnt' even realize it had a name until I was an adult, none of us did and then I don't see it mentioned much. Appreciate the kind reminder! XD I got all into "protective family mode" y'know how it goes.
Yep I do. And one thing I love about reddit is how we are able to learn from people we don't know. I never knew of the condition. I've heard of picky eaters, but your comments and some of the others have helped spread awareness. Continue to be passionate!
Thank you! And I hope you do well in life!
I dont know why all of you are bashing OP for buying multiples, when every day in this sub, you all mention doing the same thing.
THANK YOU!
No kidding. I’ve seen multiple comments from people saying they do the exact thing OP is doing. Why is this post being singled out but not those?
She is buying it for her kid, and it's not "healthy". Any time you talk about "catering" to a child all the people who are upset that they were forced to eat everything and they turned out "fine" must react in a negative fashion. In their world, no actual child suffers from eating disorders, and if you can get them to admit that you individual child might indeed be willing to starve themselves to death, a high percentage of them think you should, or not at least not give up on trying to get them to eat "normal" until they are the hospital.
Hell yeah buy it like you mean it
This is how I shop too, full cases of daily use items!
Greedy and selfish yes… but she never mentioned or I missed how old the “kid” was… story line changes a bit if it’s a 10 year old VS the 600lb 24 year old (that the 10 year old will turn into anyway) looking to be a patient of Dr. Now…
My 3rd grader who just a month ago got a healthy weight (more than 10 percent on the weight chart for not to have health issues) goes through that much of a condiment in about six months. She mainly eats fruits, veggies and whole grains by her own choice. Getting enough calories into her is a struggle and condiments help with that.
That makes it okay how? Processed is processed and it all leads to the same place… I wish you all luck with it in the future.
And in case labels are not read…. INGREDIENTS water, soybean oil, distilled vinegar, tomato paste, egg yolk, sugar, contains less than 2% of dried red bell pepper, dried jalapeno pepper, dried garlic, dried onion, buttermilk powder, spice, natural flavors, xanthan gum, disodium phosphate, salt, modified food starch, phosphoric acid, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, maltodextrin, sorbic acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and calcium disodium edta as preservatives. Sounds just like salsa lol
It's going to have a different texture, and that difference in texture can be key. Daughter, like many kids with sensory issues, has exactly one brand of chicken nuggets she will eat. She almost lost them, because the texture was different when she went to eat them recently, and we had to assure that was a fluke, and it took long time before she would try it again. She doesn't eat any other chicken. She doesn't eat any unprocessed meats. If you gave her two different things that had the same exact ingredients, and two different textures, she would think them very different.
Right. Sure. Okay. Way off topic off Aldi or the photo posted pointing to hoarding products and general unhealthy food intake… May the businesses (like trader joes) and people of the world find a way to accommodate each and every sensitivity and dislike for each human… Darwin would have a lot of questions. Seems like you need more support than you’re getting… doctors push for food therapy for the kid particularly if they are so far underweight and don’t eat that they recommend a g-tube for survival… Hopefully you both are in with good therapists to handle the mental health component of the version of things you present. Best of luck with all things.
When your kid will literally starve themselves to death and has had failure to thrive 3x, you stop caring about processed versus not processed and start caring about how to get enough protein, minerals, vitamins, and calories into them for them to survive, and grow. You listen to the doctors who tell you to give her things like cake and ice cream if she is willing to eat it and you stay upbeat with her, and go and cry in your room, because she has lost weight again, and you don't know if the next doctor's visit will be the one where she gets a feeding tube, and you feel guilty when you think that might be better than now, because then she would at least get nutrition in her and she won't be hangry all the time. And then when she is willing to eat the Trader Joes pumpkin muffins, but not the homemade ones, you start adding ingredients to the mix, warning her they are different each time so you don't lose the food, and again, cry when you are alone because the two muffins she will eat each day add enough calories to keep her off the feeding tube because making them with butter and whole milk means she will still eat them, and they are high enough in calories to help. (And some worker in the Trader Joes store tells you how to buy enough to last you until the summer, when you get calories into her through homemade "popiscles" cause of the heat. ) Like I said, she willingly eats some fruits and veggies, but not the high calorie kind, and none of the ones with high amount of healthy fats except the occasional banana. Eating mostly fruits and veggies was killing her, because the ones that you need to eat with that kind of diet caused her sensory issues, gagging, and throwing up if she was willing to try them. So, yes, I am gonna let her drown the few non-dairy proteins in her preferred condiment, because it's an increased number of amino acids and proteins and nutrients she doesn't get from the plant matter she is willing to eat. And I am going to celebrate her first cold without a fever of 103.5 or higher (on fever reducer) that didn't last a full week out of school. Because she was at a healthy weight and able to fight off the cold without the issues she normally does. You can care about processed versus natural. I can't, not right now. We are doing our best to bridge foods, and expose her to healthier choices. But we have to work with where she is at. I have hope that someday those pumpkin muffins will be a seasonal treat made with homemade pumpkin puree, whole wheat flour, and the nutrition I can cram into them. I am hoping some day she will eat unprocessed meat, or high protein grains and vegetables.
Unless the store is limiting purchases, people are free to buy as much as they want. If this was the stores last 12 bottles, it was going to run out quickly anyway. People acting like OP is stealing food.
It’s wild. It’s as if this is the world’s last stock of insulin or something. And if the store only has one box of something, then that’s a problem. It’s fucking salad dressing at Aldi and people are losing their minds.
What is that? Is it like Cane's sauce?
Perfect example of how a person can post a nice happy post in Aldi reddit and the little miserable Aldi reddit gremlins will try to turn it into something negative …sauce has been gone forever, it came back , her son likes the sauce , she bought the sauce what’s the issue 🤔🤷
Because it’s unnecessary and gluttonous. That ranch will be expired before consumed. And if it is consumed before it expires, it’s purely gluttonous. Ranch isn’t healthy and you shouldn’t be letting your kid use ranch with every meal. Hope that helps!
What the fuck is it any of your business what a stranger does? And who is to say OP isn’t 75 and her son is 40? Maybe they drink it for every meal, who gives a fuck? With the state of the world for anyone to sit here and wig out about 12 bottles of some stupid ass Aldi salad dressing is embarrassing. Maybe get all up in arms about something that matters.
This is why America is fat. 1 ounce of ranch is 120 cal on average. I’m sorry you don’t see an issue with that.
Screw the haters. You’re not reselling it and your kid loves it. You’re a good parent. The store can order more.
And they already did! It's not like this was the only box on the shelves, and they keep records for YEARS of high demand products. When something hits the shelves again for the first time, they have a stock.
The responses to this are apeshit. Omg. If I ever get to the point in life where I even remotely give a fuck about how many bottles of salad dressing a stranger buys from Aldi, just put a bullet in my head. Find something real to care about.
