ALDI

Everyone knows about ALDI or has shopped there, but if you haven’t you, it’s very similar to it’s sister store Trader Joe’s on a Dollar Store budget. Bring your own bags, bring a quarter to use their shopping carts, and be amazed at their prices on staples. Their house brands are typically made by the same companies that make Trader Joe’s brand goods with even better prices. I’m glad to have this near my house but be prepared, it’s not typical of all stores. As other reviewers have commented, it is the only one I have been in with a security guard, and with these bargain prices expect a small wait in the checkouts, they typically have only one cashier. Just don’t come here expecting to get in and out quickly. Also bring either your debit card or cash, they don’t except credit cards. Again, not your typical ALDI in some respects, but I’m so glad its here on Moreland and can overlook it’s shortcomings.

My family shops here for basics, and because its really close. Milk is really cheap, and believe me with twins you go through the milk. Like the German items in stock like the stollen. Just that we are no longer getting the meat here. Last two times my family has gotten sick from the meat here.

I love the Aldi chain, but I detest coming to this location. They always have one cashier working and there are never anyless than 8 – 9 people in line with large amounts of inventory. Dont expect to get out of this store in any less than 30 minutes…

Aldi is the ISSSSSH!
Glorious bargains and their store brands are phenomenally good. For example, today i got:
corn chips aka «Fritos» for $.99 and these really good jalapeño cheddar kettle chips for the same price. i buy all my pantry items there… sugar, flour, brown sugar, oil, peanut butter, jams, oatmeal, butter, sour cream, cream cheese… the list goes on forEVAH!
basically, Aldi is a staples kind of place, for me anyway. go there for the basics to stock up on things you always want to have on hand. they have a freezer section with some name brand treats like Skinny Cow. they’ve got frozen fruits… blueberries, strawberries, etc. for a very reasonable price and some of their frozen appetizers to heat in the oven ain’t no slouch, either.
they have great cookies and chocolates and many of the stores have wine (Winking Owl) and beer along with some fake Bailey’s Irish Crème that i’ve used for baking and in times of desperation. It’s a’ight.
OH! they have this quirky section with small appliances and housewares but i’m straight with all that gear. the prices were unbeatable though. once i got a really nice striped canvas patio umbrella for $ 19.99 and it was even in the spring when you’ll never find those things on sale.
make sure you bring a quarter though cuz you’ll need it to get a shopping cart. you’ll get it back when you return the cart. smart thinking, no? plus they charge for bags so you’ll want to bring your own.
Aldi’s my BFF.

Do you like adding an air of adventure to even the most ordinary experiences? Then grocery shopping with armed guards is for you!
ALDI has THE cheapest prices on groceries. As such, it is a very unique cast of characters you will find shopping along with you at this location.
As long as you’re okay with buying their store brand, you will not be able to find these items at a cheaper price. I bought groceries for the week yesterday, and my total came to $ 15.31. At Kroger, these items would have come in at closer to $ 30. Eggs are always $ 1.09, half a pound of delicious fresh mozzarella is $ 2.49, three hearts of romaine run $ 1.99, and sour cream is $ 0.89. My mother (a die-​hard chocoholic) swears by their store-​brand chocolate, and at 55 cents, their milk chocolate bars with almonds are a sinful treat with just a little less sin. They’re made in Germany (ALDI’s home country).
Bring your own bags or pay 10 cents for one, remember a quarter for your «deposit» on your shopping cart, and smile at the armed guard protecting you from the hoodrats also looking for a good deal.

I love this store. the produce and veggies here are of great quality and very good cost. Milk by the gallon is always less than $ 2. This is a no frills store they do not carry all the bs that you find in huge supermarkets. so you will not spend money on impulse shopping. Now the brand names are all from Europe, but if you buy something from there an you do not like it. you take it back for full refund or exachange. so you its a win. win. you cant loose. Aldi is a german based grocery, so the products they carry are from Europe, they are not off brands they are just brands Americans are not familiar with…
I love the store, most of all I love my cheap bill…

I just started shopping at Aldi after moving back to Atlanta. This is the first one I’ve lived close enough to make it worth the trip and it’s become a regular grocery spot in addition to Kroger.
There are some really good prices on the basics. Milk is less than $ 2/​gallon all the time. The stock is predominantly store/​off brand items but the quality doesn’t seem to be lacking and in fact many of the items are superior to Kroger brands. The fresh meat and produce department is a little small but they offer a decent selection of frozen items. For such a small store, they carry a pretty broad selection.
The staff has always been exceptionally nice and checkout is always pretty quick even with the usual solo cashier. They charge for bags to encourage customers to reuse. Of course I either forget my bags or stop by unexpectedly. They don’t tear you a new one with the bag prices though. They’re pretty reasonable.
My biggest gripe is the limited store hours. They don’t stay open past 7pm and I tend to do my grocery shopping around 10pm for some strange reason. I realize it’s kind of ridiculous to expect anybody but Kroger to be open that late. I’ve also been hassled by a panhandler on the way out to my car but you can’t really blame the store for that. The area it’s in is ‘transitional.’

You cannot get anyone on the phone. limited inventory, limited hours. off brand products. A plus: pricing at times is significantly cheaper that Kroger and other big grocers. Bring a quarter to rent a buggy. The parking lot is cleaner because folks have to return the buggies

«Staples» makes me think about either Mavis the singer, or beig in 3^rd grade learning about Manifest Destiny and Wild West settlers. ANYWAY, Aldi is a discount grocery store that is perfect for buying your staples. I stock up on canned mushrooms ($.49), stewed tomatoes ($.45), boxes of instant rice ($.99), big bags of frozen chicken breasts ($ 5.49), and assorted sundries like granola bars, fruit cups, apple sauce, gallons of milk ($ 3.29), canned fruit, juice and pop (soda, Coke, whatever you call it!). The quality of their store brands are pretty high for simple things, but they also have a line of gourmet products that are hit or miss.
They have a limited fresh produce section, but it includes standards like potatoes, lemons, tomatoes, garlic and the like that you probably pay way too much for at Kroger/​Whole Foods. They also have the cheapest stoplight peppers (red, yellow and green bell peppers in a pack) I’ve seen, at around $ 2.50. A small, but well stocked fresh meat selection and an extensive frozen foods freezer round out their offerings.
They are able to keep prices low because you pay $.10 for bags, or you can use their boxes to pack your groceries (a la Sam’s Club or Costco). The store is clean, bright and the staff is extra friendly, taking me directly to a product, or offering a return without question if I was dissatisfied with a product. So, if you’re trying to stretch a dollar with the no-​brainer groceries, go staple-​shopping at Aldi.
