ALDI — Local services in Freeport

I've been having my groceries delivered due to chronic back pain, but I thought I'd try to save a little money and hit up Aldi this week. I generally avoid it anyway because the store has too much stuff for such a small building, but I went early. The products are more specialty and more expensive these days, so I didn't really save anything. I had a back spasm trying to reach a pack of frozen veggies because they were poorly stocked, something that should not happen at 9 a.m. Then I got to the register where only one cashier was working. I was trying to get enough out of my cart to put my purse and list down and free up my other hand, but I'm slow because of my back.

Aldi is getting a lot more upscale and diverse with their products while keeping the low prices they've always been known for. I especially like that they've hired more staff to keep their lines down. I like that you see more and more name brand products creeping into their lineup of already good products. I hope they expand their product lines just a bit more, as currently a trip to Wal-Mart or traditional grocery is required for some items. All in all, a great place to shop, with only minor tweaks necessary to make this chain of stores an excellent shopping experience. Update 3/14/22: Still a great...
