Aldi

I love Aldi! I prefer this location over some of the others in the area. The store is clean, associates are friendly and helpful, and many of the items I purchase regularly are in stock. This location also appears to be larger and have more variety.
If you’re not familiar with Aldi, it is a grocery chain offering lower prices on a smaller scale. There aren’t tons of aisles, they don’t price match or accept coupons, and you pay for your own bags and rent your buggy. They mostly offer store brands but they have a selection of name brands too. I shop here mostly for household staples. Give it a try if you’re not satisfied they do offer a money back guarantee on most products.

This is basically a little marketplace that has the basics for a lower price than normal. You are not going to find many name brand items here, but the ones here are just as good. It’s basically a grocery store on a smaller and cheaper scale. You can buy your toiletries here in addition to meats, bread, cheese, etc. For what it is, I give it 5 stars, but if you are looking for more variety like I do, then I would skip it.

Love this place! Always the cheapest prices! I love the produce and popsicles. I come here weekly. It has all the basics you need.
They charge for bags soi bring my reusable bags. This us a great idea to decrease trash and help the environment.

LOVE ALDI! low low low prices and great products that are just as good as the name brands. This location is also bigger than most and has a ton of grocery items. The produce is always so cheap and always good. There are so many good deals here. I refuse to shop at Kroger or Publix again!

A MUST SHOP PLACE for anybody who wants to save a buck. You cannot beat the produce or the meat prices.

When you’re looking to save a few bucks check these guys out! Love the wines under $ 3!
SO this week was my first trip to Aldi to date and I have to say, I’m a big fan. First off — I know some people want a lot of frills and a pretty store when they go grocery shopping, but when I am in a hurry and only need to pick up the essentials this place is a win.
It’s much smaller than a regular grocery store… a lot smaller. This particular location is smaller than a CVS or a Walgreens, which makes it easy to get in and out. Secondly… if you need flour or chips or something relatively simple, they don’t have a million options to stress you out like regular grocer. They just have one option for each thing, which is a nice change of pace. Also — they have massive take and bake pizzas for $ 5.99 which is very tasty and will easily feed a family of four.
Most of the veggies are approximately half of what they would be in a regular store and the all around savings are VERY noticable!

A good example for «you get what you pay for». I am a health nut so I don’t like this place. They have very small variety of fruit and vegetables that are not much cheaper than Publix. All the packaged food with full of chemicals and additives. I went there on Sunday afternoon, and there is a huge line at check-​out.

An amazing place to shop.
When they first opened I went in and was put off by the lack of «name brands» But the gallon milk ($ 1.99), produce & nuts were good.
I would forget to shop there but as finances have gotten tighter I decided to give them another real try. they do have a” money back «guarantee on their products.
Well, I am now one of their biggest fans!
They had strawberries for most of the summer for .99 a quart and blueberries for $ 1.99 a pint. I started trying their store brands and I can’t believe I like most of them BETTER then the national brands! Most boxes of cereal are $ 1.99 and taste better then the national brands. Their meats are surprisingly good and on Wednesday’s they feature a super discounted meat item. Their plastic storage bags, tin foil, etc are great.
You can’t buy everything there but if you are into saving money they are worth the stop!

stopped in and found this ‘choceur’ coffee and crème chocolate bar that’s highly addictive (if you like coffee) – white chocolate layer on a layer of coffee infused regular chocolate. Also got some of the choceur (this is the Aldi brand for most of their chocolates) dark chocolate bars with hazlenut crisp/​chcoloate crème filling. These too are really good.

Definitely a different kind of store than I expected– I stopped in to check it out after my sister told me that it’s a place that has some unique groceries. It absolutely reminds me of a European market– most of the staples are here but the brands are all unrecognizable (Aldi store or «other» brands). Good value… most items are lower than your local Kroger or Publix, but the store itself is small… it won’t have everything you need. I saw this as a good place to buy chocolate, cookies & crackers for entertaining or gifts, baking items, and some random produce/​dairy/​frozen items, like a foreign budget version of Trader Joe’s.
-$.25 for a shopping cart… so either cough up the quarter, bring your own cart, your friends to carry your stuff, or be prepared to juggle carrying all your items
-$ for paper or plastic bags, so bring your own recycle bags are the best option, which I usually do anyway
–No credit cards accepted– cash or debit only.

I love a good bargain, so therefore I love Aldi.
Let’s talk about Aldi using «yes» and «no»:
Yes, you need 25 cents to rent a buggy.
Yes, you have to bring your own bags or buy theirs (6 cents for paper, a dime for plastic).
No, they do not accept credit cards (but they do accept debit cards, EBT, and cash).
Yes, virtually all of their products are Aldi-​brand. You won’t find many name brands here.
Yes, Aldi-​brand is high quality. The majority of their items are as good (if not a little better) than name brands. They are certainly better quality than, say, Kroger-​brand, Market Pantry, or Great Value.
No, they won’t have every single thing you’re looking for.
And most importantly:
Yes, if you shop here you will save a noticeable amount of money.

At first I was skeptical because I knew it was a different kind of grocery store before I went in. You would more likely find me at Whole Foods than a bargain grocer. Why do I shop there? It is because they have a huge selection/​variety of chocolate candy– some brand name, some not, at very reasonably prices. Once in a while, I find other items I use at bargain prices. As a reviewer said before, you don’t go in with a list. Rather an idea of what you could use and a willingness to act upon bargains you find for items you don’t really need. BTW, I have only seen well maintained stores. If I came across a dirty store, no matter how good the prices are, I would not shop there.

I was happy to hear that Aldi was coming to town because one of my best friends has been raving about it for years. All in all, I like it a lot, but it has a few quirks that threw me off guard.
— You have to pay a quarter to use a shopping cart. Your money is reimbursed if you return the cart to the designated area.
— No shopping bags are provided, so bring your own, rent a cart, or be prepared to carry it all out.
— Credit cards aren’t accepted, but debt cards and cash are.
— You can’t go in with a shopping list expecting to find everything on your list. Items are displayed in bulk on rows and vary from visit to visit. Prices are good, but I never know what I’m going to walk out of there with!
— Most brands and names that you’ve never heard of before, but generally they taste like any other name brand you’d buy at another store.

Although there are a billion tv commercials for Aldi, I had no idea where any of these stores actually were… until I noticed this sparkling new location in a shopping center right next to my beloved Com Vietnamese Grill. If you go here knowing you won’t find certain things or specific brands but want to save a LOT of $$$, you’ll be very happy with your experience. This mini-​warehouse was super clean, organized, and well-​stocked, and the expiration dates on all of their products were insanely far off into the future. The quality of the produce beats that of many local Krogers, their store brands taste just like their more expensive counterparts, and the prices are unbeatably low. I have to deduct 1 star because the overall selection is a bit too small for a big grocery shopper like me. I wish there were more stores like this closer in to the city, but I definitely see myself stopping here for some things when I’m on one of my Bu-​Hi culinary adventures.
Some of the best deals I found:
— $ 0.75 for an entire sack of sweet potatoes
— $ 0.69 for a whole bag of fresh cranberries
— $ 1.69 for really tasty hummus
— $ 1.99 for soft bakery cookies
— $ 1 for a jar of spaghetti sauce
— $ 2.99 for a case of bottled water
— $ 5.99 for 8 huge paper towel rolls
— $ 0.39 for canned diced tomatoes
— $ 0.89 for a big sack of pears
One thing to note: Bring your own bags, or buy their plastic bags for 10 cents each. You can also take the Sam’s Club approach and use any of their cardboard boxes to load up your items.

Cheap and not so cheerful. Used to Aldi in Europe and I was quite surprised to see such a difference in the operation here. The store is quite small, not very clean and stocking mainly low quality stuff.
Staff when I could find them was quite helpful. The 25c for the cart is annoying as putting in a pound coin in England.
Better off getting the specials/​own label stuff at Kroger.

I’ve been seeing Aldi’s sprout in random locations so I went inside to check it out. My friend had told me it’s a European supermarket with generic brands that focuses mostly on dry foods. They do have a section for produce and meats, too. Very good prices — e.g., bag of baby carrots for just $.69. Like Ben O said, it’s a mini-​warehouse looking set-​up. Looking around, customer mix was mostly Hispanic which reflected this part of town.
Interesting notes — they charge $.25 to use the shopping carts but the $.25 is refunded upon return. Also, they don’t give out shopping bags so bring your own.

Aldi is like a miniature warehouse: excellent value, limited selection. For $ 3.03, I took home three juicy, ripe half-​pound tomatoes, a cucumber that could have swallowed them, and two pounds of carrots.
I didn’t bring a quarter, so I couldn’t unlock a shopping cart. Next time I’ll be prepared. There are no handbaskets, so I’m glad I was only shopping for a few things. My cashier was friendly and very efficient.
Next time, I’ll grab some of their three-​dollar wine and taste it against Two-​and-​a-​Half-​Buck Chuck. We’ll see if it actually tastes 20% better!
