ALDI — Local services in Delaware

I love Aldi! The prices are the lowest around and the quality can’t be beat. If you’ve never been before - to keep costs low - you’ll need to bring a quarter and your own bags. The quarter is for the cart - so you don’t abandon it in the parking lot, to get the cart you have to insert a quarter. Upon return you get your quarter back, thus they don’t have to pay anyone to corral the carts. They don’t bag your groceries, you do - there is a large counter after check out to do so. Some aldi favorites - sparkling water, sourdough bread, produce, the chicken breast fillets frozen (taste like Chick fil A), brioche buns, peanut butter pretzels, queso, organic apple juice, maple syrup. They have very few name brand items as it is mostly their brand. They have some name brand things and some additional name brand items that change. They have a fairly large organic and gluten free section. I’ve heard great things about their wine - being cheap and good (I just don’t drink wine). If you haven’t tried Aldi - you should! Also to note - they have mostly one item/brand (theirs) for whatever you need. There are a few things I can’t buy at Aldi (as they don’t sell it) and have to...

I mostly shop Aldi for their 3 wick candles. They are Huntington Home name and have a lot of scent as well as bbw but so much cheaper. The housewares are random items but very nice stuff. Their over size towels when they get them in are fantastic, large and wash up super great. They sell the Clancy name brand chips/pretzels, all of the Clancy food is really good so far. My favorite are the honey wheat pretzels which are amazing but they don’t have in stock right now unfortunately. I like the holiday items they get in. They have a good variety of candles for each season. I personally can’t get everything I need at Aldi of course but they do have unique items as well as many items needed for less money. You do have buy a bag or bring your own if you will be shopping for more then a couple items. You can put a quarter in a cart or give someone a quarter before they return their cart. You bag your own groceries so keep...

Aldi, "I wanna love you, but I only just like you" plusses, good food, good selection of low carb snacks, neat dry goods area that always evolves, some prices beat the competition, good meats (fresh and frozen) Minuses: Aldi I understand your environment concern, but I limit my shopping to what I can fit in the bags I happen to have with me. Also, the quarter cart thing? Irritating. I don't carry change typically, and spent 10 minutes scrounging in my car for a quarter to no avail. Usually there are quarters left in carts. Finally a generous soul purposely asked me if I needed a cart. Also, checkout lines can be a little long, and no self scan for the quick in and out of a few items. Also have had some bad customer service moments, but more good than bad. But the bad ones linger in...
