Aldi is grocery simplicity with no huge overhead. Shopping here is quick because its close to midtown Detroit. They stock great produce and specialty cheeses which change with seasonal rotation. Parking in front of the store is easy. The staff at this location are very much like neighborhood friends with their friendly assistance. Managers here will gladly phone other locations or a district mgr to locate out of stock specials. The store is always neat and clean even during hectic high shopping periods. They don’t stock everything but what they do carry is top quality. There is never a hassle returning food or items you don’t enjoy. They even appear in some eshopping apps allowing for easy shopping list compilation and ad delivery. Their European specialty foods open up the foodie pantry at affordable prices. Try those delicious German baked goods and holiday treats. Your mouth and budget will thank you. The only reason they didn’t get a 5 is because of the hours up north. Why can’t people open and close the same time coast to coast? 9am — 9pm seems logical sooooo. Aldi Midwest get your hours right and you get a perfect score from me. Thanks Aldi for creating an oasis in Highland Park’s food desert. We support you for feeding us quality fresh food at reasonable prices.

For all of the negative press Highland Park gets, this gem gets greatly overlooked. We shop at this Aldi because it’s the closest to Hamtramck. This Aldi is only a couple of years old and resides in an equally new strip mall across from the Ford Highland Park Plant. Aldi has a formulaic layout so expect the same as you would from any Aldi store. As you enter the store look immediately to your left for the beer, liquor and wine selections. You can get some private labeled Bordeaux for $ 5 and it’s quite good. Try the Winking Owl brand of wines and you won’t be disappointed. Since Aldi is German owned, they often import some great Rieslings and for the price, these wines are often delicious and an incredible value. They have six packs of a mock Corona and Heineken for $ 4.99 as well as seasonal German beers. Flavors so close to their intended brand that it becomes hard to tell the difference if there actually is one. Try the O’Donnell’s Irish Crème instead of Bailey’s. Same taste but at half the price. Right next to the booze is the chocolates. Imported chocolate at a fraction of the price. Get a dark chocolate hazelnut bar the size of a license plate for $ 1.99. It’s a steal. Look for the seasonal dark chocolate varieties and stock up. Aldi’s pretty much just carries the basics. Come here for seasonal baking and save a lot of dough on flour, sugar, etc. I beg your pardon for the ill placed pun. They maintain about 85% of shelf items year round but look to the circulars for new and seasonal goods. At the holidays they load up on Butterball turkeys in the 10 – 13 pound size. These are perfect for cooking as the size is big enough to feed a family while maintaining it’s juiciness. As the New Year hits, they begin to clear the Christmas seasonal items and further mark them down. Last year, they reduced the price of the frozen turkeys by 25% and took an additional $ 3 off at the register. Each turkey cost me around $ 7 and went straight into the freezer. Recently, Aldi moved a product line of USDA certified organic goods into their stores. We noticed this at the Clawson store but they were out of just about everything. We hit the HP Aldi up on the way home and YAHTZEE! we hit the jackpot! Packages of pasture-fed ground beef for for $ 4.50 a package and organic chicken breasts for $ 2.00 a package. We bought everything they had. Organic string cheese, pasta sauce, salsa, etc. Products come and go at Aldi so this is exactly why you should keep an eye on the circulars. Look for deals in the produce section as well. Other products that we enjoy are the frozen, wild-caught seafood; brie; multigrain bread, and frozen tortellini and ravioli. Staffing is always kept to a minimum. I think 2 – 3 people work the entire store at any given time. So on Saturdays expect longer wait times in lines. The cashiers do their best to move customers through so please be kind to them. You pay a quarter to use a cart and get the quarter back when you return it. You also bag your own groceries. Aldi is the parent company that also owns Trader Joes. The adventurous spirit that governs TJ’s is starting to trickle down to Aldi.
