ALDI — Local services in Lakeville

I really had a great experience at this location. I usually shop at the Aldi in Burnsville but will be going to this location going forward as it is closer and better maintained. Their produce is an amazing deal and in good shape. This location is very clean, the cashier's were super friendly, Aldi always carry great gluten free staples and treats. It is a bit of a change from the direction of most grocery stores with the cost cutting measures (quarter carts, no music, no baggers, no full service deli/bakery, super speedy checkout process/limited selection) and I'll happily skip those to have the savings passed on to my family. It's always an adventure going here as they rotate items frequently and seasonally. We have scored some really cool items in the special finds aisle, kids sandals, full length mirror, wall decor, pool floats. The gluten free bread, GF macaroni, GF cheddar biscuits, GF frozen ham and cheese hot pocket-esqe pastries, and cake mixed are all superb - my family loves these. There is delicious Greek yogurt and Two Good low cal/low carb yogurt. The vanilla bean hummus is low calorie and reminds me of eating sugar cookie dough - why and how does it taste so good? Their house brand, Happy Farms feta and swiss are fantastic. They have a great selection of cheeses. Their take and bake pizzas look so good - please get some GF options for these! Diapers are also a good deal. I don't think I would have shopped here before I had a family and now, with the amount if fresh fruit and vegetables we go through, I don't know want to...

At first we were very excited to have an Aldi so close to home. Now that we have been here a couple times we would rather not shop this location. The cashiers are some of the lesser friendly that I've encountered, smiles hurt I guess. The checkout process is lacking in a few ways. We have kids our kids like to ride in the cart. It is extremely inconvenient to have to switch them from 1 cart to another, which is something I have not had to do at other locations. The cashiers also seem to not care much about the items you are purchasing as they literally drop/toss your items into the cart ontop of eachother... chips at the bottom, middle dont matter squish em. The produce leave a lot to be desired as well many items over ripe nearly squishy and I found a fly flying inside a apple fritter container (management didnt seem to bothered). Today we only got a few items (more than intended) but did not have a cart. The cashier put our items in the seat of the cart at her lane and said we had to bag it right there (we bought a reusable bag). She proceeded to check the guy behind us out and put his item in the basket of the same cart. Really clustered things around the register and made for an inconvenient unpleasant experience for both us and the guy behind us trying to figure out what to do with his empty cart and trying to pay. Not Impressed. Also found a restickered product... to change the...

Best grocery store! Prices are cheap, has almost everything I need, fast checkout lane, and can be in and out of the store in a jiffy. This locatio is spacious and clean. My only issue has been produce. Good prices but need to check it over thoroughly for quality--this is consistent with all Aldi stores I've been to. I like what my friend and I call the "fun" aisle. You never know what will be there..from socks to candles to squishmallows to patio furniture. Also I've done a lot of research and they have the cheapest diapers and the quality is there. Just remember to bring a quarter to borrow a cart (get it back when you return the cart--or bless the next customer and give them your cart :). Also remember to bring your own bags, they charge for them; which I like--we should all be using...
