The Aldi’s in Council Bluffs is much improved. Since it’s glorious makeover, the store’s atmosphere is a lot more suitable. I go to Aldis mainly for my produce. They usually have inexpensive fruits and vegetable, which make eating healthy super easy. Some of the prices on other items are drastically lower than department stores. These include cream cheese, milk(as low as $ 1.99 for a gallon, compared to $ 4.00) and heavy whipping cream($ 1.99 compared to $ 4.99). There are some downsides. Customers have to deposit a quarter to get a cart, which you get back at the end of your trip. Aldis only accepts debit cards or cash, not credit cards. You have to buy your plastic/paper bags, or bring your own. The cliental, at times, can be a little shady as well. The staff is always friendly, though they may not have people actually working out on the floor.

Aldi is great for what its worth. It’s a very cheap, off-brand grocery store. The employees are always nice and helpful and the place is clean. One odd thing is that you deposit a quarter for a cart, which you get back when you return it and you have to bring your own grocery bags or buy reusable ones there. At first I thought this was odd, but after purchasing a couple $ 1 reusable grocery bags and leaving them in my car, I love it. And Aldi accepts only Debit cards and cash, which again, I had a problem with at first but got used to it to get the amazing prices. Their weekly produce sales are outrageously awesome. A pound of strawberries for only .99 cents. A whole pineapple for $ 1.99. These prices are the reason why I see myself stopping by Aldi almost every week. Their other food items are cheap as well. A gallon of milk is $ 1.99 when its on sale,($ 2.99 otherwise, which is still cheap), hot dog buns and hamburger buns are around a dollar. I will be continuing to come to Aldi for as long as its there.
