Aldi is a great smaller store that carries a good variety of food items that most people use on a daily basis. Most of their items are generic and not name brand, although they have been getting in more name brands lately.
Their prices are low, they carry cold and frozen foods, canned foods, bread, boxed items, soda pops, and good selection of fresh cut meats such as pork chops and chicken breast. This is a great place to get low cost hot dogs if feeding a large group of kids.
Aldi now accepts credit cards, cash, and EBT (food stamp) cards. Find empty boxes around the store and use them to put your own groceries in, so you don't have to buy any paper bags for about 3 cents each. You bag / box your own items here.
You have to insert a quarter into the shopping cart before you can unchain it from the others and use it. Then upon returning the cart to it's rightful location, you will get your 25 cents back.
This is how they keep the cost low, they do not need anyone to collect carts from the parking lot, and do not have any grocery baggers...

They do a good job of keeping their products in stock, but I do try to go during slower times of the day. The employees are typically helpful and decently friendly but some can be apathetic or even annoyed at you for interrupting their restocking. The produce is decent but not always fresh. Be sure to inspect your produce before buying as some, not most, can be on the verge of going bad. The produce seems to last not quite as long as other stores, so use it quick. Other than that, it is a good store and worth going...
Read moreBefore today, I would have given this store a solid 4 stars. Today was a 1-star experience and if I have one like this again, I'll be amending to indicate such. The checker was downright rude, throwing my items. He THREW my bananas and proceeded to throw bottled and canned goods ON TOP OF THEM. I dove to rescue the bananas, barely escaping the deluge of falling groceries he KEPT THROWING. Then he put small items on the base of rhe cart so I had to get on hands and knees to retrieve them when bagging. Worst service I have ever had at an Aldi in over 15 years of shopping...
