ALDI — Local services in Milford

I have known about Aldi for years because my wife is German and Aldi is a German company. Aldi started really starting to pop up in the U.S. close to ten years ago. The whole shopping experience is much different than shopping in a large big name grocery store. The first thing you will notice if you are new to Aldi is the shopping carts. You will never see shopping carts scattered around the parking lot, nor will you see an employee gathering and pushing carts around. This is because you must put a 25 cent deposit into the shopping cart in order to use one. This also means that you need to bring the cart back in order to get your quarter. The next thing you will notice is that mostly every product in the store is a generic item, made by Aldi. Don't let that turn you off. Aldi has amazing quality products and they also offer a double money back guarantee. This means is your are dissatisfied you will get your money back and a free replacement of that item. Aldi doesn't offer an enormous variety but they do have excellent prices on all of your staple items (milk, eggs, bread, produce, meats...). Aldi had recently been rated on of the healthiest grocery stores in the country as well. They voluntarily removed fillers, high fructose corn syrup, dyes and preservatives from most of their products. You can also buy organic and specialty items from Aldi now. When you bring your selection to the register you will see an employee sitting down to scan your items. This is because Aldi treats their employees very well. Employees at Aldi are paid fairly and are encouraged to grow with the company. There are a lot of great choices which keep me coming back. Aldi is my first choice when I'm getting groceries. The best part of the entire experience is how inexpensive your bill is. You can literally fill your cart and pay what it would cost to fill one of those little baskets at...

Aldi is my #1 store the past 6 or 7 yrs. They are growing a lot, however the quality of some of their products have gone down. Ingredients are changing, and not for the better. It's still the best for a budget, however. Their stores all have similar aisles arrangements, so it's easy to navigate through any location and not get 'lost'. Their special finds aisle is always amazing. Sometimes you have to dig, but it's worth it usually. Sign up for their newsletters for a heads up on coming weeks new products and sales. Their app is not that great, I'd you want to shop online, you're better off using then through instacart, bc at least you can talk with your shopper AND set up alternative items for off your item is out of stock. I use their app sometimes just to make my shopping list, then go in the store for easy shopping. Don't forget your quarter! But if you do, the cashiers will lend you one. The aldi community is so good, you can normally get a cart from someone returning theirs, and most bypass the quarter exchange. I still love this store, I just hope they don't convert to the same MO we've gotten from all the other stores (that have all gone, or are going out of business, for...

Aldi has excellent prices on Tilapia and Salmon, packaged fresh and supposedly not frozen. They’re available in smaller 1-lb heavyweight vacuum sealed packages, seasoned or unseasoned. The Salmon is also available in larger 35-lb packages, mostly unseasoned. The Tilapia runs about $5/lb and the Salmon about $8/lb which I find to be $1-$2 less/lb that other Supermarkets. It is truly delicious and terrific if you’re on a low carb or most any other type of diet. It also grills up nicely with a little olive oil marinade or a with a cost of plain old mayo or ranch dressing. The oil/mayo seals the fish so it doesn’t dry out on the grill. Here’s a great tip concerning the skin on the salmon; toss it on the BBQ grill skin side down for about 4-minutes, remove from the grill and the skin peels right off with ease! Marinade the freshly exposed salmon and toss it back on the grill to complete the grilling...
