ALDI — Local services in Asheville

Why do I love Aldi? Let me count the ways! Honestly, the food is fresh and reasonably priced. I can buy organic items at a fraction of the cost anywhere else in town. The staff is friendly and efficient. That's it. I've decided the best way to share the Aldi experience with you is through photos of my grocery shopping trip last week. I took a lot of pictures so you can see the selection, prices and decide for yourself. I prefer the Aldi on Swannanoa River Road. The store is always organized, and the employees are kind and helpful.

If you are unfamiliar with this kind of shopping experience, here are a few things you need to know:

*Bring a Quarter. That's how you get a shopping cart. Your quarter is returned when you return the cart to the storage area. Easy! (If you're someone who likes to abandon your cart to an unfortunate location around the parking area...this isn't the place for you.) The scooter/wheelchair carts are not locked. *Bring reusable shopping bags. This is optional as of course as they sell reusable Aldi bags and paper bags. BUT my trick when I forget my bags? I grab a couple big boxes from the produce department and pack my items in those and then recycle the boxes. Easy and no cost. *Name brands are sometimes in stock, but only as "Aldi Finds" so not guaranteed to be there the next time you shop. As for the Aldi Finds, this is something you'll have to experience to understand the scope and variety of things they find and offer at significant discounts. I've found everything from auto windshield weather protecting mats to really wonderful rain boots, culinary tools and kitchen necessities, and before Christmas, a portable Singer sewing machine!

It may take a minute to get comfy shopping here, but your budget sure will appreciate your effort. Zoom to check out the prices...

I recently visited Aldi and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The store boasts a fantastic selection of fresh produce, which was both abundant and of excellent quality. It’s always a delight to find such a variety of fresh and healthy options available.

Furthermore, the store was impeccably clean, creating a pleasant shopping environment. I appreciate the attention they give to maintaining a tidy space, as it enhances the overall shopping experience. Even the restroom was spotless, a testament to their commitment to cleanliness throughout the store.

One new feature that caught my attention was the addition of self-checkout. It was incredibly convenient, allowing me to scan and pay for my items with ease. The process was quick and efficient, saving me valuable time during my visit.

Overall, Aldi exceeded my expectations. Their commitment to providing fresh produce, maintaining a clean store, and implementing self-checkout truly sets them apart. I highly recommend Aldi for anyone seeking a positive...

It's really nice having the new building now, modern design, and everything conveniently located in well organized aisles. I like that it's raised up by at least several feet which is a huge bonus in case the Swannanoa rises. I've always been a fan of Aldi growing up, and always shopped there. I still shop here occasionally for things that can't be found at Hoppey's. One thing I don't trust though is the produce, which has always been hit and miss over the year's at any Aldi store which I buy elsewhere. Overall I will continue to shop here for certain things. Without a doubt Aldi is still the best chain grocery store in many town's and continues to beat Wal-Mart and other's with their...
