Aldi

New to the area and had never been to an Aldis before. Pretty excited that we got a weeks worth of groceries for 4 for $ 130. Used to be my budget for the 2 of us before kids about 20 years ago. Store was clean and neat and busy with folks. Plenty of parking.

I really like the store. I’m a guy that just likes to be in and out. This store is perfect for this. It won’t have everything you need but for sure has all the necessity items. The prices are great also. The store is always clean and easy

This was my first time to shop at an Aldi’s. I was pleasantly surprised with their organic selection but kinda disappointed in their produce. Several bag of oranges were moldy. I can see coming here for certain things.

Never seen anything like it ~ but there was a definite group of regulars when we visited.
See photos of displays. there were some brands we recognized and we did not see any great values. I don’t feel there would be a reason to return with so many other options! Although I did think the cart idea was a good one!

Aldi’s is definitely a different grocery store concept than most people here in the States are used to, but it’s a bargain if you’re willing to adjust. Some great deals and interesting buys.
I shop here if I’m looking for a change from the everyday selection at other groceries. It is a little different and you won’t find your typical big name brands, but if you’re looking to mix things up and try some new products, it’s definitely worth a shot. Be realistic, be patient, bring a quarter, and come prepared with your own bags.

Some great deals to be had here. I’m familiar with the Aldi concept, so the typical things like the carts, bags, etc weren’t surprising. Be sure to bring cash or debit (no credit cards).
Their «two buck chuck» style wine (called Winking Owl) isn’t a bad choice for cooking wine or cheap party wine at about $ 3. It’s one of the better cheap wines out there! I also found a great deal on vacuum sealed frozen salmon fillets (2 lbs for under $ 7 when I was there).
My gripes with the store:
The aisles are a little bit too narrow and people shopping there are either a.) too big or b.) don’t know what they’re doing and take up the entire aisle while staring aimlessly at the items. I’ve had trouble actually making my way through the first aisle each time I’ve shopped here due to other customers just being in the way.
They’re woefully understaffed at the cash registers. I understand the concept of keeping costs cheap, but they usually have only one register open (even during busy times like 6pm on a weekday evening). Saving a couple of dollars just isn’t worth an extra 15 minutes of my time in the checkout line.
Aldi is a little more out of my way than a few nearby grocery stores, and it just hasn’t convinced me to really change my shopping habits. I’ll still stop in from time to time for things like the wine or frozen salmon fillets, however.

love this store, glad I found it. Went there and could not believe you can get beautiful quality celery for 39 cents and a gallon of milk for $ 1.69 along with a pound of real butter $ 1.69 and also imported wines some straight from the vineyards most for $ 4-​$ 8. also the store is a good size, where it is big enough for everything you need and small enough you can get out in 3 minutes if just picking up a loaf or bread and gallon of milk. the prices are great, since you sack your own groceries they save on that and cart retrieval since you put a quarter in the slot that is returned when you put the basket back, that saves on labor and sacks (and recycling is great anyway). I would definitely recommend! just remember no checks, no credit cards, they do not want to add those fees to the bottom line price of goods.

I decided to give aldi a whirl after they sent me a $ 5 coup in the mail.
The store is brand spanking new! Very very clean and well lit. Aldi’s claim to fame is low prices. They provide them by making you bring reusable bags (also great for Mother Earth), having you bag your own groceries, utilizing a quarter deposit on the carts (which you get back after returning them to their assigned spot), and carrying mostly their house brand products.
Aldi has all the pantry staples you may need. They don’t have all the fru fru stuff that the other grocers do, but they have a pretty good spread. They also carry a wide variety of fresh fruits and veggies at reeeallltyyyy low prices (29 cent avocados y’all!)
They have an amazing cheese selection, goat, Brie, all of the awesome ones. Milk is super cheap, $ 1.69 a gallon!
They also have seasonal food and houseware offerings. They’re usually listed on their website or ad.
What I liked about aldi was that I got in and out in record time! Not having 10 types of cornflakes really made my life a lot easier lol.
Pro tip: bring your own bags, a quarter, and cash or debit (no credit accepted!)

I have been to other Aldi stores in the past, so I knew what to expect when going here. No name brand items — however, as far as produce, milk, and eggs go, it is well worth it to make the extra trip to save some money. They definitely don’t have the variety that HEB or Kroger do, but they have all the basics (onions, potatoes, tomatoes, bananas) at a MUCH cheaper price.
You have to have a quarter in order to get a cart from the rack, which you get back when you return it. What I love about this idea is that you NEVER see carts littering the parking lot.

Ok so I heard a lot of good things about Aldi being a good cheap grocery store. I was happy when one opened right up the street across from Walmart. I went as soon as the store opened. Yes I heard you have to pay a quarter for a shopping cart. Yes I heard you have to bring your own bag or buy a bag from them. Seems kind of silly but if the prices really that good it could be worth it. To start with this is one tiny store. Think about the size of a Walgreen’s. The Aisles are narrow and the layout is hard to figure out. The meat section is tiny and so is the produce section. The selection is awful. It is mostly store brand but even then the variety of items offered is just not very good. The prices for their brand are not amazing or anything either. They have beer and wine but not any brands you have probably heard of. I really can’t see myself shopping there except for stuff like milk, eggs, and produce which are insanely cheap. Other items I found that I like are their frozen burritos and their store brand energy drinks which are a good price. In the end in an area with 3 or for other grocery stores Aldi is not going to be top of my list.
