ALDI — Local services in Niles Township

Some people believe that Aldi's only sells generic, cheap products. However, this is NOT the case. Aldi's sells some brand-name products. Their produce is excellent at a fantastic price-point. They also sell many organic items, which I appreciate. From fruit to fresh vegetables and any other products too. This Aldi's store is located almost next door to the Costco's Gas Station. It is a stand-alone Aldi's store (NOT connected to a strip mall). There is an Aldi's less than 1-mile away from where we live, but I come to this one (it is 3-miles from where we live), because this Aldi's is much larger. I can always find the 100% Whole Wheat hot dog or hamburger buns. This is never the case at the Aldi's near our home base. I like that Aldi's offers brand-name products, such as, cereal, margarine, sour cream, cheese slices. The store is well organized, bright and clean. Also, the employees are always friendly and helpful. The store accepts credit cards, so if you need to use one you certainly can do so. I always use my VISA Debit card here. The parking lot is a nice size. Bring your own bags to the store (or you can buy a bag at Aldi's for 10 cents each -- if you forget to bring your own bag). You will bag your own groceries here. You will pay 25 cents for a shopping cart,. However, when you return the shopping cart at the end of your shopping excursion, you get your quarter back. The reason for my 4-star rating is that Aldi's does NOT open early (like Mariano's and/or Whole Foods). I am an avid runner so I am always awake by 5 a.m. for my morning run. I like to get my grocery shopping and other errands completed before 9 a.m. Aldi's opens at 9 a.m., so I usually have to wait several hours until they open. This is the only negative regarding the store -- they don't open early enough. The BEST PART about shopping at Aldi's is being able to stretch my dollars when it comes to groceries. The BEST part, for me, is finding organic produce items and their prices are off-the-hook good! Their gallon of milk sells for a lot LESS than Walmart! Usually either under $2 or a tiny bit above $2, so start thinking of Aldi's as a money-saver for you and your family. You'll be surprised how many bags of groceries you will go home with and you'll spend a lot less too (compared to Mariano's or...

Spoiled/rancid food within expiration date.

I’ve shopped at this location for months, because it’s the most convenient location for me. They’ve been a many times that I felt the store was a little bit disorganized compared to other locations. it never felt “dirty” so I ignored it and continued shopping here despite this.

However during the last two shopping trips here I have purchased food that ended up being rancid even though it was within its expiration date.

The first was on Friday of last week I purchased a carton of cage free eggs. I cracked a couple into a bowl and discarded because they looked very old, the yolks broke immediately.. then the third egg I had cracked from this brand new carton had a red mass in it?(I’m not sure if it was fertilized or what)I did not reach out to Aldi because mistakes happen, even though this was a very revolting experience.

However, yesterday (Monday) I purchased a bottle of friendly farms Kefir. (again that was well within. It’s expiration date). I opened it up this morning and took a sip only to realize that it had spoiled..

I will now be going to a different location because I no longer...

I go to Aldi in the city (and in other cities) all the time this is by far the worst customer experience I’ve ever had at Aldi; Actually the only negative customer experience I’ve ever experienced at an aldi. There were no baskets (only carts) but a big box of old boxes to put groceries in, which is what i did. i get to the check out and the cashier is very annoyed bc she has to get me cart and then proceeds to THROW all my groceries in basket (so i try to stand there and catch them so starts doing to faster and with more force) so i ask her to please not do that and she responds “we have to be fast” which to i respond “i go to aldis all over and ive never such force” i get done she doesn’t say thank you or anything just “bring my cart back!” Pandemic times, i get it. i was polite and simply did not want the food i was purchasing to get damaged. just avoid this aldi if you are able to go...
