ALDI — Local services in San Diego

It is AWESOME! My first time at Aldi's and I loved it! When I walked in the store was immaculate, staff greeted me the atmosphere was welcoming and very friendly. I went to get canned goods, baking items etc...I'm stocking up on emergency items for myself and my 5 adult children. They are all vegan and there was plenty to choose from, remember tho alot of the items are a one time deal so you have to look carefully and grab what you can while it's stocked. Now I had no idea there was a limit to the canned items, I was so excited walking in there like a kid in a candy store and not paying attention I went straight for the aisle that had the specials or the one of a kind things. I started loading up my cart, found an abundance of everything I was looking for! So I going to the last aisle I hadn't been in yet and it's literally ALL canned goods! So I was like, yes!! Started loading more can goods in my cart and after the 3rd case I notice a sign that says theres a limit of 4 canned goods of each variety and looked at my cart which was over flowing by now, and said uh oh, yikes!! So I ran and grab a young man and tell him what I was doing and if he could clarify the rules for me as it was my first time which he did and I start panicking. I didn't arrive to shop until 1 hour before closing and it was now 5 minutes away! So being the last customer and my first time there instead of making me put everything back we went thru it and the staff allowed me to purchase the couple of cases I had and my basket was so full when it came down to it I had 4 cases with 12 cans each! I thought I had so much more and I did not want to get more than what was required so others can have a chance to get what they need too. I will always go back to that store and shop for all of my groceries. The prices were so much cheaper than the other grocery stores, I can guarantee you that it would have cost me double anywhere else! Go check it out..stocked perfect, great selections, the most friendly staff and the cleanest store I've been in in quite awhile. I'm high risk for the virus so I will go shopping only the first hour the stores are open or the last hour before they close because there are less people at those times. I never once felt like I needed to wash my hands a thousand times because of how clean it was. I finally got to relax while shopping and wasn't on guard or worrying. Thank you Team Aldi's!...

Final review: Grand Opening August 30, 2018. Love this bright, clean, FRIENDLY Aldi market. Prices are good and the selection of fresh produce looks so pretty that it could tempt even the pickiest eaters. There's not a lot of depth in the selections, but the setup of this market is efficiency and value. Example: You won't find 20 types of peanut butter, but they have Peanut butter in creamy or chunky.

If you've never shopped at an Aldi, here are some differences you might notice:

1. You deposit a quarter to release the shopping carts. You want your quarter back? Return it and the other cart has a pin that will release your quarter.

2. All the items are in their shipping boxes. No fancy reshelving here!

3. Cashiers are super fast. They ring you up very quickly.

4. You bag your own stuff. After you are rung up, move your cart to the long bagging counter. It keeps the lines moving.

Parking is ample. Kid friendly, wheelchair accessable.

Special notes: cash, EBT, credit, debit and most e-pay accepted but not personal checks are accepted as payment. Aldi stores don't accept manufacturer coupons (most of the items they carry are store brand, anyway). Service animals performing work only. UPDATE: Store has a grand opening stated for Thursday, August 30, 2018. Store hours are 9:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Sunday. Welcome to the neighborhood, Aldi!

Store is still under construction as I post this. I will update this review properly when I've had a chance to shop here. They were supposed to be open this summer. This location is expanded from the former location of Fresh & Easy and is next door to Orchard Supply. The photos show construction progress and are dated...

I am so confused, I've been an Aldi's shopper for years. I've just recently changed to the delivery service and I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. I place an order on April 7, the delivery date was very vague (Tue-Sunday) on Friday I received messages that my order would be delivered on Saturday which was perfect because I had ordered items for Easter Sunday (50 items) but the food was not delivered on Saturday. But, Sunday 3 different shoppers called me re delivery (Easter Sunday) then a little while later they contacted me to say they were at the store and the store was closed. I didn't want them to cancel my order because it would be another week or more for my groceries to be on the schedule. However, the 3rd person said they called customer service and had it cancelled even though the 2nd shopper promised me he would complete my order after 4 pm today (Monday 4/13) I had to reorder all the items again and pay for them again, but now I don't have a delivery date or a way to contact shopper #2 who promised to deliver the items. What should I do? I'm very, very confused another order I placed was uncomplicated, how does one "troubleshoot the system"? I was told there is no way to contact the store. As of today, 4/14 I still do not have my groceries I’ve been told Saturday, 4/18 is the earliest delivery date. I was also told my credit card was not refunded by the last shopper who was the person who cancelled my 4/7 order. I don’t believe “shoppers” should be able to cancel “customer’s” orders. Instacart seems totally unreliable and not...
