ALDI — Local services in Superior

I'm so grateful for ALDI coming into the area. We needed some competition and alternatives with Super One owning the market. ALDI is just that. While I can't get everything off of our grocery list, I can get the big items. I'm still going to need to hit up Super One for the small/one-off items. But for fruits, veggies, packaged goods and dairy, I ALWAYS go to ALDI.

The freshness of ALDI is the same as Super One, but the advantage that ALDI has is that it's half the price. The only thing I don't get from ALDI consistently is the meat: the hamburger is ho-hum, the steaks are average, and the chicken isn't great.

If you dont have reusable ones, they sell paper and plastic bags for roughly 10 cents. They also have reusable ones for fairly cheap.

Have an extra quarter handy.

Their carts/trolleys/buggies require a quarter to unlock them, but it is returned to you when you return the cart.

Have an open mind.

They have a wide variety of products, most of them similar to ones we use everyday, but some of them are diamonds hidden among the shelves. The milk hazelnut cream bars are very...

We buy most of our groceries at Aldi but after yesterday (June 19) will be shopping elsewhere for most items. The store has dialed covid protections way back. This is not the time to give up on safety in grocery stores. Simply TELLING people to give six feet distance (which is not possible in aisles no longer marked with directionals) is not good practice. Having to fumble with other people's quarters is not safe either, depending on others to sanitize is foolhardy. Could they at least have an option of staff-sanitized carts with an additional surcharge on grocery bill at the check out? And PLEASE at least ASK if I want my groceries returned to my...
