I've shifted from going to Costco to now shopping regularly at my local Aldi. Much more cost effective. Aldi does offer alittle more options in products versus Costco. My local store in Carol stream is clean and organized. I like that they offer free range/ pasture raised eggs. These types of eggs would easily be 2 dollars or so more at another local market such as Marianos.
Surprisingly good meat selection. I was thrilled to see that they offered grass fed organic ground beef!!
Typical items you might find at Marianos, such as pre bottled cold brew coffee is 2 dollars more at Marinaos versus Aldi.
They run out of stock of quite a few items that I usually like to buy, but I suppose that's how they keep costs down , is only buying in bulk smaller batches of items to ensure they sell.
My only major qualm is the strawberries. They don't offer organic strawberries and the strawberries they do have almost all have mold on them. Im not sure how long they are in transit, so by the time they arrive at the the Aldi, it's clearly been too long. 9/10 times that I go there for strawberries, I cannot buy any because none of them are good :(. Had to pay triple the price at Marianos for strawberries.
Good price on everything but namely produce. I eat avocados daily and they cost 89 cents/each at Aldi versus 1.89/each...
Read moreUsed to be a great shopping experience. Have been going to this location for about 5 years now. Always was a great experience as of late. The fresh produce most of it is in abysmal condition. I was actually grossed out today. All the produce I was looking for was literally all moldy and or mushy. I’m extremely disappointed in the quality control of this place now. Even the spinach you get in bags is already damaged are going bad on the shelves. This is forcing me to go to multiple stores just to get basic groceries now. The other issue is more than half the shelves are empty especially in the dairy and cold sections. I’ve been to multiple Aldi in the area and the shelves are just as bare. Really need to get your act together. At least put up signage indicating shortages and why. I got tired of asking employees what’s going on every week to no avail. I love shopping at Aldi, I really do but there’s no excuse anymore for poor and or...
Read moreThis store has rude employers, I was inline and instead of the rep taking the next customer in line she took the people after me. i politely told her that was rude and that she is to take the next customer in line and she snapped she jumped off her chair and said if you don't want me to process order I don't have to and left me with my groceries in the line. Who does this?..... She flagged the manager and I told him exactly what she did and he just stood quite. I told him that is not good customer service. I am not sure why they let this employer mistreat customers. I will never go back to this location and I do not recommend this place due to mistreatment per employees. They should train the employers how to treat customers in a...
