ALDI — Local services in Steubenville

Aldi is known for cheap prices. And even though prices have increased a little (they have everywhere!), in the past 5+ years, the quality has really improved at Aldi. Most of the best generic brand items ive ever tried have come from Aldi - most better or at least as good as name brand -- and I'm picky lol. Their store brand hummus kicks sabras butt. Their keto bars are amazing (just don't overdo it on the malititol lol). Even their generic paper (foam) plates are amazing and way better than dollar store quality.

The best thing about this Aldi specifically, is the staff. I was shopping on a Sunday and didnt realize they closed at 8. It was around 8:05 when I noticed it was pretty dead in there. I finished up and checked out and started bagging my groceries. A manager walked by and I ask them what time they closed because I was the only customer in the store. He told me they had closed at 8, but I was fine and I could take my time bagging up my stuff - so polite and exactly what you expect from excellent customer service! I of course hurried out and just packed up my stuff in the car, because I didnt want to hold them up any longer. Never once did any employee give me the evil eye or remind me I needed to gtfo. I have been to so many stores that rudely remind customers they are closing in 20 mins when they walk in the door. Or while your trying to grab a few things really quick - when you know they are closing soon and trying to hurry (Dollar general I'm looking at you - customer service has a long way to go!) I have worked and managed in retail and the worst thing you can do is be rude to customers and throw them out so you can close. I've worked over an hour + then had to close, count down drawers etc. We all want to go home at the end of the day, I know it sucks! But customers really appreciate it and dont forget when a business is courteous to them. Although I live a good distance from this Aldi, I make a point to return there - well before they close now - because of how kind the manager was that evening. Next time you're in Steubenville, skip walmart and give Aldi a visit. You won't be...

New edit: as of 10/25/23 As always the staff is very nice. Always busy lol they always have great clearance items an food is always stocked. Despite the inflation that has caused total devastation to Mosts bank accounts an savings. This seems to be the only place where you don’t have a bugged eye look when seeing M&M for 6.99. Seems like most things are 9.99 at the bigger stores. You can still get a cart full for 124 150 depending on what You buy. EDIT: one employee isnt so kind. Most will know who im speaking of. When it comes to checking out, ex those with infants etc it shouldnt be asked for us to remove out children so they can get that buggy. Only 1 Employee has done this, an legit ordered my 10 yr daughter to grab another buggy. I was SHOCKED. Another time i didnt want a plant due to price was incorrect, so i chose to not get. She than ORDERED MY DAUGHTER TO RETURN THE PLANT BACK NEAR FROZEN! i should of said something right then. Ive seen her do this a-lot with mothers an infants where she will ask them to remove baby cause she needs the buggy! Idk maybe get up an get one yourself given they always have one feet away. Another than “HER” the other...

Wish there was a way to contact each store directly so you can find out if they can sell alcohol on Sundays...which, I know now you can not at this location.

Had a nice selection of wines and 6 packs of beers, however, the prices on most of these items is about the same as regular grocery stores.

They did have a 3.99 selection of wines (reason for my trip) that I heard is pretty great.

I'll just have to come back some other time..

Edit: made it back on a day they could sell and scored 8 bottles for 40 bux! Can't beat that! They had sparkling wine for 4.79, loaded up on the 3.99 winking owl brand, got a couple bottles of coco bay for Pina coladas, even got a strawberry Bellini bottle for 5 bux.

They had Irish cream for, about 5 bux a bottle...very different selection this time around than my last, unfortunate, visit. Updated to 5 stars.

Will be back in a few months when this...
