ALDI — Local services in Mahtomedi

I love their low prices, awesome produce, friendly staff and so much more. I was skeptical about going here because I know where everything is at Cub and I'm a creature of habit. But family members kept urging me to go. So one day I did. I bought 11 items on my first trip there. I went to Cub after to price those same items..... I had saved $14.00!!!! Then I tried the items I had bought and they were as good if not better than Cub! I am now a believer. No they don't have everything, but I'm ok picking up a few things they don't have at another store. Things that we love from Aldi: Smithfield sliced breakfast ham, 2% and chocolate milk, eggs, all produce, variety of cheeses, Italian take and bake bread, pizza, creme brulee (yes! at Aldi!), oh gosh SO much more!!! Things I haven't liked are their flour and sugar. But I'm a baker and kind of picky on those things. Try them out. You will be happy and definitely save a lot...

Aldi is generally well stocked with budget friendly groceries and household items. I can't complain about that. What I will complain about is the cashier I had. In a recent trip to Aldi, I purchased some flavored water. The cashier greeted me, then started reading the labels. She proceeded to tell me that all of the various flavored water I purchased has aspartame and it causes cancer, and her mom always told her...yadda, yadda, yadda.

I generally am open to hear people out, it's also not a good business practice to tell her customers that what they are buying is bad for them, despite the USDA and EFSA both indicating the ingredient is generally safe. If I wanted advice on my diet I would have asked a dietician or a health care professional OR read a peer reviewed medical journal.

Unlike the flavored water you sell, the cashier left a bad taste...

Two of their new staff members have attitude problems also Cashier name: Gage refused to ring up my items until I had everything unloaded out of the cart ..I even grabbed an empty cart for him so he could start ringing my stuff. He ended up pushing the empty cart away and sat there and stared at me. He insisted it was because it saved me having to move a few bottles of water out of my cart. This ended up wasting alot of time because I ran out of space on the conveyer-belt. AND EVEN THEN HE JUST STARED AT ME. THIS KID NEEDS RE-TRAINING OR SOMEONE NEEDS TO GIFT THIS KID SOME COMMON SENSE! Everything isn't always in stock, clean...
