"We took a deep dive into 17 Aldi products to avoid buying, according to Reddit, and discovered that shoppers tend to skip (and discourage others from purchasing) Aldi's mini cucumbers. It's not from the lack of a good deal or an insufficient cucumber count, but more so about the actual quality of the produce. On Reddit, one shopper noted that the mini cucumbers became "slimy and rubbery very quickly," while another shared how the veggies turned "moldy and slimy.""
"Aldi's mini cucumbers come in 1-pound bags and sell for around $2, which is a bargain compared to other grocery stores. In ideal conditions, cucumbers should last about four to seven days when refrigerated, but many Aldi customers complain that the mini cucumbers don't last that long. "I stopped buying them as they get slimy in a couple of days past purchase," said one shopper on Reddit."
Aldi sells mini cucumbers in one-pound bags for about $2, offering a low-cost option compared with other stores. Many shoppers report that these mini cucumbers develop sliminess, rubbery texture, mold, or turn to mush within two to three days after purchase. Ideal refrigerated cucumbers typically last four to seven days, but these items frequently spoil faster, reducing their usable shelf life. The primary complaints focus on rapid texture degradation and visible mold despite attempts to preserve the produce. The price and quantity do not offset inconsistent quality and short longevity for many customers.
