ALDI — Local services in Asheboro

There are things about Aldi's I like and things I don't. I like the bare bones and cheaper prices. Bring your own bag,? No problem. We as Americans waste too much. We seem to be adopting the Chinese idea of buy it break it and buy a new one. Repeat often. Those cheap things we buy come at a huge cost. We used to make things . Now we are consumers in every sense of the word. Lied to by our government and used as batteries by those in power to fund their lifestyles and ambitions. They will squeeze even harder before it's over. China is getting greater because now they are the makers and sellers while we buy the poorly made things they produce so they can use the money to try and destabilize our economy. We try to bully other countries and spend too much for things that aren't our concerns . Ukraine is a prime example. I would push a button and destroy the entire country for 2 dollar a gallon gas and a dollar more an hour. I get by barely and I work entirely too much for MY people. Until they are taken care of the others will have to take care of themselves. So you go Aldi's. But try to work on selection and customer relations. I will pince my dollars and I appreciate you trying to help. Remember America don't be consumer be a maker. Creation is...

I would like it to be 4.1 Stars. It's like every store that pops up . They seem to be the best thing around and then after a while you can't tell Them from all the others. If You don't shop early then all the produce is gone. A lot of restaurateurs and Hispanics clean up on these items. I didn't go in any Aldi's for almost 3 years. I used to go early when I could and hit the clearance. Had some really great deals. Haven't seen a decent deal in years. I recently began to go back some. There are some very good items in here that are comparable to the Name Brands for about 25 to 50 percent less. Cheese and milk, dairy , luncheon meat, etc,, are a good savings. The Brioche Bread is outstanding and cost as much as a regular premium loaf of bread anywhere else. If you go in here and know Your Numbers, there are some savings to be had. When You get done here go across the street to Food Lion and finish out your shopping list by buying Their sales and You can honestly save 40 to 50 percent overall. But You have to be willing to put in the effort. I work to hard to just throw My Money away, how bout You ? Mikey Out....

Ah yes, almost forgot about this place. The gruff blonde employee (wearing an ear piece at the time) followed me around the whole time, clearly making sure I wasn't stealing anything. I move from one aisle to another, she follows...pretending to straighten items that don't need to be straightened, and watching me like a hawk. I left early without buying anything.

Either you're not very good at being inconspicuous, or you're not very bright. Both, I'd say. Or maybe you wanted me to notice you...? Doubtful, considering your weak attempt at acting.

Don't worry...I'm not desperate enough to steal cheap groceries. Off topic, did you not make the cut for the police force?

My friends, family, and myself simply shop next door at Walmart now (some of which due to similar awkward experiences). Costs a few extra pennies, but it's worth it to avoid the extreme level of discomfort and unwelcome vibes I caught for just BEING here.

Never felt so awkward at a grocery store in my life. Never coming back to this location.

2 stars because it's really not a bad place to...
