I've been shopping here for almost 10 years and it has only gotten better with time. For anyone who says that generic (Aldi Brand) foods are not as good as National Name Brands, are kidding themselves. I have experienced far better quality food from the Aldi Brand as opposed to some Nationally recognizable Brands from other stores.
Keep in mind that most of the Aldi Brands are probably made by some of the same companies offered by more recognizable Brands and just packaged exclusively for them.
I also shop at other local food stores who have recently started offering self-check-out. Think about it... you check-out yourself and bag it yourself, but you still pay the same high prices as before. How does that help you? It definitely helps the store since they save by not needing extra staff, but somehow that doesn't trickle-down to the customers.
At Aldi, you are rewarded for the minor inconveniences of bagging your own groceries and walking your cart back to retrieve your quarter.
The location I shop at is currently undergoing a giant renovation. It will be completed at the end of August and I for one can't wait to see the new store! A store doesn't upgrade itself this substantially if it isn't succeeding in the community.

One can still probably get the vast majority of the groceries they need and, for some, they can get everything they need or want. This particular Aldi is located in a very nice location. The shop appears as though it was relatively new, as the exterior was actually rather nice. We found the employees to be pleasant and the prices were as attractive as per usual. This was a nice place to get what we needed for the nearby timeshare where we...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAs far as grocery stores go, Aldi rocks! Thereās no unnecessary frills like many other chain grocery stores, which translates to much lower prices. Iāve never tried an Aldi brand product that disappointed me. Sure, thereās a few things here and there you might not be able to find at Aldi. Thatās why I shop Aldi first and then pick up any miscellaneous items at Pick n Save. Itās amazing how much more $100 will get you at Aldi than at other stores. Having a teenage son who eats like a horse, the more money I can save on groceries the better! Bring a quarter for your shopping cart, your own bags, and youāll be all set. Thereās also usually an abundance of empty boxes throughout the store that you can...
