ALDI — Local services in Town of Brookhaven

So, on 02/16/2019, we go to Aldi Selden, which is right by Best grocery. We cherry pick from Aldi before we go to Best. Best uses #2 quality. Number 2 is everything #1 is but cosmetically inferior.

Today, we hit the jackpot. i eat as healthy as I can afford. Diabetes, metastatic melanoma, and other health issues are damaging to the body. So when I can afford it, I eat fresh and healthy.

Today's hit, is filled with super foods. Fresh, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, zucchini, cara cara oranges, spinach, English (burpless) cucumber and eggs.

We were lucky to be in the store today as the Salmon was dated OK until the 17th. Being one day from the pull date, the store had an in house special of $8.00 off. Sometimes that can be a mistake. We figure if it is not fit for us, my cocker spaniel can eat it if we cook it to death.

Well . we get home and the first thin to do is check the Chilean salmon, loaded with essential omega-3's. The skin on is also an exceptional source of nutrition. Crispy skin is the standard. Over a medium heat, 2/3 cooking time on the skin side and then flip for 1/3 time; S & P.. If white stuff comes out, the heat is too high. The white stuff is albumin and you have denatured the protein complex.

The packaging was a sturdy plastic tray covered with secure plastic and somewhat of a tight fit. I was a restaurant chef for many years and air is our enemy with regards to bacteria and food spoilage.

Fast forward to the end, the fish was exceptional. It smelled so fresh, which is to say it had no fishy smell at all, I made some POKE which is raw. Cubed it, tossed in some Hellman's and added some garlic and chili paste from China. Then some avocado, fried sliced garlic, fried onion strings, and cucumber batonnet. All this over some olive oil dressed field greens. (salt and pepper always)

I portioned and wrapped the remaining and froze all but tonights portions for my son and I. After the mark down, the price per pound was $4.50. I am used to seeing $7.99 and up in my neck of the woods. For $14.00 we have 9-5 oz. portions. That's $1.55 a portion. Sauteed spinach with the salmon. Mixed berry salad for dessert. Not one speck of processed sugar.

The whole picture you see was just under $42.00. The taste will be incredible and the salmon will never see above medium rare. When the spinach runs we will move on to the zucchini cooked Roman style. that's with very high heat, olive oil, chopped garlic, sea salt from the dollar store and fresh ground pepper from the ODD LOT store.

My food budget is so limited that these treats are not always available to me. Today, we will remember the force behind our luxury. Jesus comes into my life more than I realize. Today, his presence was overwhelming. Not just the food but the results I am getting from Planet fitness.

I don't wait for my first miracle any longer, I've had 4 already. So, today, I am so thankful to Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, ALDI and Planet fitness. It is only 3:46 pm. Wonder what's...

Aldi is always a great place to shop, and this location is no exception! The staff here is absolutely amazing—always professional, smiling, courteous, and engaging. A special shoutout to one of the fantastic cashiers, Erum, who consistently provides excellent service. Like many of her co-workers, she is hardworking, friendly, and always engaging with customers, making each visit an enjoyable experience.

This Aldi carries most of the essentials you need, and the prices help keep grocery costs manageable. While it does get busy on weekends—like most grocery stores—the efficiency of the staff keeps things moving smoothly. There's always a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables at reasonable prices.

One thing I wish they had is a loyalty program, similar to Lidl’s, where customers could accumulate points and redeem them for groceries. I think this would encourage even more shopping and customer loyalty.

Overall, shopping here is always a pleasant experience, and despite the rising cost of certain items (like eggs—hopefully, those prices come down soon!), Aldi remains a great place for quality groceries at...

It’s not easy for me to give 3 stars but the store needs to stop having the managers screaming at everyone in the store “to get on line now or you’ll not get checked out & sorry then come back tomorrow” I’m sure it’s a corporate thing but PLEASE STOP IT CORPORATE! It’s so obnoxiously rude & brings negative energy into the entire store which these days isn’t smart because people snap otherwise it’s a lovely grocery store if your not their at 7:30pm when they close at 8pm & everyone reading this knows what I’m talking about. Especially one of the girl managers who makes me wanna say something nasty so I hope that person reads this & thinks about how annoying they are making people which I don’t think this person cares because I can see the power tripping expression in their face. “YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES OR GET OUT” WATCHING PEOPLE TRYING TO WALK IN BEFORE 8pm IS A REALITY SHOW AS THEY DARE SET FOOT IN AN OPEN STORE & SCREAMED AT. Now I’m screaming lol sorry...
