ALDI — Local services in Trussville

Wonderful wonderful wonderful. They have absolutely great prices and great food. It's amazing how expensive it is to eat healthy these days but at aldi it's super affordable for great fruit and veggies as well as many other healthy options like gluten free, allergies, an just healthy options. They also do alot to help the bees which is amazing. Theres a pretty decent selection or things that arent food also from baskets to car item. The dog food is good priced and my dog with allergies can eat it which is rare. I cant say anything about the cat food bc I dont have a cat lol. They have great prices on things like diapers as well. You just cant beat aldi in any form or fashion. The employees are all amazing and so sweet as well. I actually hate having to shop anywhere else for even milk and bread just bc somewhere else is on the way home ect it just feels like a waste of money and not as good of product. I know some people think aldi is an Indian company or something but its actually from a german company and alot of people think the stuff is cheap bc its gross and that's far from true. Things are cheap bc they do things to save the company money in turn saves you money. Even how they do their stocking and buggies saves us all money. 1 tip being bags and a quarter lol. If you've never been you get a buggy with a quarter but you get it back when you take the buggy back up front. If you forget your quarter theres always someone around that is usually more than happy to help though. Even if you dont have any bags you can buy some or I usually use the boxes they have around the store it helps them and it helps recycle as well which honestly they are pretty eco friendly there which is a huge plus also. Well I hope to see you all there sometime bc this is the most amazing grocery store around and honestly couldn't imagine shopping anywhere else especially if I had a big family to feed lol but even just shopping for yourself the food is so amazing I'm just spoiled now I guess lol. For those that have any problems with an item they are always more than happy to refund also which is...

For the life of me I simply can't understand what people like about this place. The prices aren't any better than you get at Wal-Mart and their house brands taste gross. At least great value items are usually decent. The tacky way you have to have a quarter on you to unlock the buggy. The way you have to bag your own groceries on a table behind the registers after purchase. Having to ask for bags to buy if you didn't bring your own. The way the cashiers/stock crew don't even speak to you. It's just weird. They don't even have many staples in stock and the drink section is a joke. It's basically the big lots of grocery stores with more hassles. It's worth checking out once for the novelty of it, but don't buy much. Like I said above, their house brands, which is most of what they have are very bland and tasteless. I don't get the business model, I don't get the low quality, and I don't get the popularity....

ALDI can be a little trying to navigate as is a smaller store that's generally busy and some of the clientele are, well, a little odd (think late night Walmart shoppers on steroids). You gotta bag for yourself and they have odd (yet smart) rules about their carts. BUT is a first class fruit and produce stand, a cheese lovers paradise with a better selection than Publix, the best price on Dairy you'll ever find and a diverse array of products by manufacturers you never heard of that generally are as just as good or even better than the brands you are familiar with. $100 well spent bucks at ALDI is as good as $200 anywhere else. I drive 25 minutes to get there and...
