ALDI — Local services in Alhambra

I was pleasantly surprised by this place(Alhambra location).I didn’t know what to expect after receiving several circulars- supermarket or something like Target? The ads focus primarily on food, but they also have amazing deals on things like space heaters, slow cookers, nice candles, desk sets, etc.. Every week they have something new. I went in around 2 p.m. to buy a heater, but an employee told me they had sold out by 11:00 that first day, so if you want something that a lot of people would want at a great price, get there when they open. Basically it is a grocery store with a center aisle for the special deals. Some reviews mention that they don’t bag your groceries, which is basically true. Right now, however, I am waiting to have back surgery and am handicapped- I can’t stand without holding on to something. I’m still a bit shy about this , but it is pretty apparent to the employees, so they have always helped me, and even offered to help me out to the car. I also think that the employees are very nice and helpful in every way. The first time I was there, I mentioned this to an employee on the floor, and she explained how things work there and explained the layout of the store. The produce is fresh and inexpensive, and I love that they carry a lot of food from Europe, especially Germany. I have been coming in every week now, because they have not only the non-food specials(many of which are great gifts), but there seems to be a theme on the food specials every week, like one week they had all different kinds of veggie burgers and sausages, all containing different ingredients-some soy, others grain mixtures, vegetables, etc. The prices on those items were much lower than anywhere else.Also, the kitty litter is (not the very best, but it’s not bad) an excellent price. I have and will continue to recommend ALDI to my friends and...

I've been to a few Aldi locations and usually I wouldn't write a review regarding a grocery store. However, I've had a few bad customer service experiences at this location. Long story short, two male cashiers are particularly rude, and while putting items in the cart upon checkout, they won't let you take the cart to bad your items, they will continue to put the items of the next customer in the same cart rather then grab another cart for the next customer. I found this odd, considering no other Aldi location does this. The cashier stated it's there policy and become very irritated when I asked to use the cart to bad my items and take my groceries out to my car, I even grabbed an empty cart for him and he became angry and said no. So I proceeded to grab my groceries put then into another empty cart adjacent to me and he followed be telling me not to do that again. I called the corporate office who confirmed this cashier was wrong and they apologized for his rude behavior. I hope the cashiers at Aldi in Alhambra read this and understand they should learn to treat customer's with more respect and provide much...

This place is great for German and other European imports at great prices - chocolate, rye bread, sauercrout, spaetzel noodles, specialty cookies, sardines etc. Everything else you can find in any bad supermarket for pretty much the same prices. GMO and chemical filled junk snacks, dairy and meat. Their organic items are extremely limited. No organic pastured milk or butter, no organic meat, no organic dried/canned goods, no organic basics like celery, beets, russet potatoes, bell peppers, carrots (normal carrots for cooking, not baby carrots), broccoli, chard, parsley, apples, etc., no gourmet coffee. Just your basic food 4 less but much smaller, cleaner and with some rare German imports thrown in. If they improve their inventory and add more healthy organic foods to their shelves, I'll consider going there every week. Until then it's Trader Joe's, Sprouts and Whole Foods for this girl. I want to live a long and healthy life, not stuff my body with affordable junk. C'mon Aldi, I challenge you to be a better store. Otherwise you'll end up like Fresh and...
