We absolutely love Aldi. They're owned by the same parent company of Trader Joe's. They tend to stick to the same ideals. The food is mostly without antibiotics and pesticide free. The canned goods don't contain high fructose corn syrup (with exception to a couple known American brands, as well as their wine, beer and sodas are all sugar as an ingredient. The pricing is less than you will find in Walmart! Drawback, keep a quarter in your pocket, you'll need it to get a grocery cart that will likely be full towards the end of your visit, don't worry because you'll get your quarter back when you return the cart to the front of the store. Also, bring your own bags. They don't provide complimentary shopping bags but they do have paper bags they will sell for around 12 cents and even better, they encourage you to grab a box off a shelf or in a bin to transport your groceries in. Thos not only helps your budget but also helps us sustain a liveable environment for our children and such. I highly recommend Aldi, especially in this neck of the woods that there are no Whole Foods or Trader Joe's within...
Read moreI Loooooooove Aldi's!! My Daddy turned me on to them. Most times, their produce is REALLY nice and ALWAYS (what I need anyway) affordable. But what I love most about Aldi's... Their prices on most of their products is so affordable, you can at least give it a try and if you don't like it, then you're not out of a lot of money. The prices of their bulk nuts and frozen fruit... 🍑 🍓🍍🥭 AMAZING! The biggest issue is the long wait in line. I understand that it keeps the prices lower but at certain times of day their should be at least 2 cashiers. I believe this to be so for EVERY grocery chain! In the mornings When people are on their way to work and school, high noon ( people scooting in for lunch and brunch and in the late afternoon when teachers don't feel like cooking and they don't want take nor to stand in line long. Just when I didn't think the wait could be longer....! Now they are almost completely automated. 90% of the registers are self e-checkout, as if 2yrs behind mask want enough to reduce social interaction. That's my opinion...
Read moreWhat a pleasant surprise it was for me to visit Aldi for the first time. I was stunned by the low prices especially when compared to most of the major super market chains in the area. The meat was of a superb quality and the produce was pretty good too. Although, I was displeased with the quality of the Iceberg Lettuce :( I also was not aware I would need to bring my own grocery bag or purchase one from the store. Aside from that issue and having only two check stands open (both with 5 to 6 customers in line), the visit was quite pleasant. The store was immaculent and well stocked, and again the prices were lower than I had seen in a long time; except for Dollar Tree and I love them too :). (I recently relocated from California to Georgia. So I can truly appreciate a bargain.) My visit to Aldi was around 11am, so I am naturally concerned about the quality of service during the peak...
