Aldi

Worst customer service.Mistreating me cause I look like a native South American.

Even though they don’t have a variety of vegetables ! They have way cheaper prices and good quality deli items. They have great organic nuts, cereals etc…
Love Aldi !

Terrible customer service. I got there at 8:53pm and the manager (Alain Aguilar) did not allow me to enter the store, because according to him the company watch showed that it was passed 9pm. I showed him my cell phone with the official time and he did not care. He was very rude. What a lack of respect from a company manager to it’s customers.

Excellent place, low cost, good variety in everything for your home, foods, clean, the people there are very friendly, they have a fit or healthy organic food,

Not a big deal overall store. Some things are cheaper and others are just spoiled. Do your homework to determine what is actually more economical.

Before you come to Aldi you need to leave your snobby attitude at Publix, I have been shopping at Aldi for the last 5 years (before relocating to Miami). It is not the one stop shop as Walmart or the fancy Publix but you are certainly save good money, do not forget your quarter for the shopping cart and bring your own bag!!! Great quality items but not much variety of brands since 95% of their items are Aldi’s brand and they offer double guarantee that is not offered at any other place… Very important they do not take credit cards, they do debit card (with visa or MC logo)

A great grocery store to save money. Its not Publix, there are no marble counters and free cookies for the kids, but let me tell you: this place is as cheap as one of those little spanish grocery stores in the middle of the hood.
There are no brand names in the store (maybe like 5 or 6) but they Aldi brand products have consistently been good for us. I wouldnt say its the kind of grocery store to buy all your stuff in, but lots of the basics can be bought here at about ¹⁄₃ less than any other chain grocery. In my opinion the quality is way above Winn-​dixie.
The best part for me is no coupons or looking for BOGO or discount cards or any nonsense. Prices are clearly marked, everything is decent or above average quality.

So I’ve never even heard of this place and just noticed it so I wanted to check it out. The prices are fine. The meat, looked. Well in simple words nasty. The veggies look beat up. It’s just so ghetto :(what’s happening to hialeah?
The place seemed pretty empty so I was excited to not have to deal with a line. Perhaps it’s just a hialeah thing but oh my lord! These women are rude af!
There was only 1 cashier, the 1^st ones in line were these 2 chicks buying over 50 things. Then an older lady, then me, then 5 people behind me. They decided to open another line asking the lady in front of me & the rest to come in the same order. When we got there the cashier left and some other cashier had to attend us leaving the elder woman in front of me confused. They told us to come on in, some woman came out of nowhere standing to the side of me stabbing my arm with her groceries cause she wouldn’t give me any fvcking space! I turned around to see the 1 behind me and this random woman in my personal space so I said in spanish yall need to give me space! I put my stuff on the belt and both of them were trying to throw their things next to my stuff.. The cashier told the elder woman she can’t take the cart. No one assisted her which is rude!
THEY DON’T GIVE YOU BAGS NEITHER! Then when it came my time to pay he said cash or debit NO CREDIT CARD ACCEPTED.
He placed my stuff in the cart, I payed, went thru my purse for my keys then had the woman behind me nearly attacking the fvcking cart thinking I’m gonna take her groceries. I bit my tongue, I came in strictly for seafood not her diabetes ass groceries.
I WILL NEVER COME BACK NOR REFER ANYONE TO COME. HOW ABOUT HIRING MORE PEOPLE?!
NO GASTES TU TIEMPO EN ESTE PEDAZO DE BASURA!!!

I was really excited to be getting an Aldi here in hialeah, but after shopping here, my excitement has gone away.
Yes, you have to pay .25¢ to use the cart. It’s no big deal. It gets returned to you if you return the cart. At checkout you have to buy the bags. I got the large 10¢ ones. The cashier just scans and dumps all your things into the cart. You have to bag them on your own time.
Some of the items I bought were hits and some were misses. Yes, some things are cheaper but the quality isn’t the same on some as the regular products.
Honestly, with all the specials at Winn Dixie or Walmart matching competitor ads, it’s not that great. Yes, it’s more work to do this than just shop in one place but if you really want to save $ it’s worth it.
Some of the items we bought and liked: Wine (essenza di vida), olives, bread, breakfast bars, shredded mozerella.
And didn’t like: coconut shrimp, chocolate milk, pizza, pita chips, garlic hummus (so so, but I wouldn’t buy again), reduced fat feta cheese (no flavor)
I still have a few things to try from my haul but the savings weren’t grand enough for me to shop here.
I didn’t buy any meat. The prices were not that low and I didn’t like how they looked.
So yeah, I’m sticking to Walmart or Winn Dixie… and yes I like going to Walmart. It’s always an experience.

Just went to see the new place in Hialeah to see about their great savings and fresh foods. Well let’s start with my welcoming all shopping carts you need a quarter to get a cart (what about if you don’t have any cash on you) their suggestion buy something get cash back and get a cart. I was blown away with that and to add real flavor the employees feedback to me «if you are only buying 1 – 2 items you don’t need a cart anyways» I was really how about if I come in with the idea of maybe buying 1 – 2 items and see other items that catch my attention now what they rather lose the extra sale than just at least for customer service get them the quarter to make their purchase. Decided to still walk around to see what’s there and they had some good prices no name items but they did have some deals. Grabbed a few items to at least not make the entire trip a waste. Now to pay just like the reviewer said no help to bag and no bags you have to purchase either paper o plastic another mind blowing not Even to help with the bagging they just throw it all in your cart and bag it yourself.
Honestly I understand the whole overhead cost reduction and making some adjustments, but people customer service doesn’t cost extra money and actually it may cost you sales that’s all I am saying.

I really enjoy shopping here. They have a lot of natural and organic products. Not everything is natural, so you do have to look at the ingredient list to see if the ingredient list is clean. Many items are also much more inexpensive than the name brands sold in regular grocery stores. The food is not name brand, or at least most of it is not, but there are many items that taste exactly the same as their name brand counterpart.
I love that they do not provide plastic bags but rather encourage you to bring your own reusable bags or buy paper bags. Much better for the environment!
They do not have a vast variety of items so you probably won’t be able to buy all of your groceries here. But it is a great grocery store for some food staples and you’ll save a lot of money by buying at Aldi. I’ll definitely continue to shop here!

So here is a quick unbiased rundown on what to expect at Aldi, the newest addition to Our Neighborhood:
* This is not the supermarket you come to for your entire shopping list. You will not find everything you are in need of. Pretty much, the basic «this and that’s.»
* Not everything here is less expensive than their competitors. Be careful and make sure you come here with an already planned and researched grocery list. All are the same boxed/​canned/​frozen processed goods as their more expensive counterpart. Only difference is, when packaged, they were given a name relating to something or another relating to a «farm,» «organic» or «something» to make you think you are eating healthy. For example, one product, instead of a toucan you have a happy monkey going crazy with his «fruit flavored» cereal. Read what is in your food before you eat it. They are, however, much cheaper than the Name Brands.
* Except for a few items, you will not find Name Brands here. They do sell some Name Brand items; like, Coca-​Cola, Kellogg’s, Bounty, Charmin. These items, were almost the same exact price you would pay at one of their competitors. For example, at the time I wrote this review, Coca-​Cola, Charmin and Bounty were much cheaper for more quantity «somewhere else» just down the street.
* Their Produce Department is nothing I would go around bragging about. Yes, the few items they sell are much cheaper. Many items were bruised or already borderline about to spoil. Look closely before you buy them. Since you boast so much about «healthy» you should consider buying some of this stuff locally? You know? It takes much hand touching, lapsed time, trucks, ships, boats and planes to get stuff here from Central America that we already grow here. I will update on the longevity of their produce soon. It was so cheap I bought, in bulk, peppers, celery, strawberries and carrots. Thanks for buying your strawberries from Plant City, FL. I needed onions and oranges but they were so bad I opted not to.
* Their Frozen Foods Department has the same things, with a generic name, as the stuff you love. When I say «same things» I really mean «same things.» I was in there for a while reading what was in each. Again, come with a list, not all were less expensive. For some reason unbeknownst to me, you can get Prime Beef so cheap here I was tempted to ask «how?» The Meats Section here is also very limited. If you look closely before you buy, many things already have freezer burn. Be careful and inspect thoroughly before you buy.
* Their boxed items, like cereals, I came home with a whole bunch of these. Again, same thing with a generic name. Same story with their packaged nuts. These items are what I came home with the most.
* Before coming here, they only accept Cash, Food Stamps and Debit Cards as a form of payment. Bring a Quarter for your shopping cart. Do not worry, you get your Quarter back once returned. This here, is my favorite part about Aldi. We do have a huge problem in Hialeah with Ghost Shopping Carts. So thank you for that.
* Come here with a box to put your groceries in rather than bags. They do sell plastic bags for your groceries but, one broke bringing it into my home. Also, do not expect the cashier to help you bag anything. She rings it up and puts it in the cart. Even though you bought a bag, you are on your own baby. I guess it costs that much to focus on your customers, eh?
* They also sell random useless things here. For example, the trampolene to encourage you to do anything to exercise and get off of Facebook. Don’t get sidetracked with this other stuff. You can purchase all these non grocery items for much less somewhere else.
So, to summarize this very long detailed review, the question is, will I purposely come here again for my groceries? It is with great lament that I tell you, not a chance. Aldi sounds like an unbelievably cheaper version of Whole Foods but, far from it. I really entered with high expectations. Your motto should be, «We sell the same things with a different name but, for some reason CHEAP, buy us.» Sorry, it is what it is folks. From here on out, do what I do. Don’t throw the circulars from their competitors away when you get them in the mail. Make a list, check it twice and I guarantee you, you will save just as much if not more. Either way, if you come here for groceries, you will waste gas having to go to other places anyways.
