Aldi

Great deals that are cheaper than local competitors, especially Kroger. They have nearly everything, from Gatorade to cous cous to chicken to tilapia to pizza to bacon to lawn chairs to pasta to tiki torches — and then some. It’s like three aisles of things people actually want at a lower price.
There is a frozen food section that has the meats (chicken, ribs, wings, fish, veggies), and they have dried fruits and vegetables that are OK. I don’t normally buy my produce there, which is the only real knock I have on this place.
REMEMBER: bring your own grocery bags or they charge you to buy them! They are an eco-​friendly store. Good stuff.

This is your typical all be nothing too special they do have great prices on certain things.
make sure you look for the stickers that are red that means the item is either on sale or on clearance.
remember when you’re shopping Aldies you have to pay a quarter to get your shopping cart and pay to get your bags bags are $ 0.10 for plastic. But I have to do is return your car back to get the quarter and bring reusable shopping bags if you’re really cheap lol.

If you like standing in line this is the place for you. You can hone your skills of patience to perfection.

Works for me, true staff not the best or as friendly as they should be. But I go for the prices the corner stores and or gas stations will rip you off because they can. I want good food at a fair prices. And there’s a few kind people there whom are happy to be there. not all the employees are just watching the clock.

This location has the worse customer service I have witnessed in a grocery store in a long time. The cashier was a very unprofessional, rude, young black female who only said 3 words to me, «is that it?» And the amount I owed. No expressions not even a thank you have a nice day, nothing! I wish I had gotten her name. Also, they didn’t have much stock of the items they had advertised in Sunday’s paper. I went on the following day (Monday). I ended up driving to Ferndale location to get the items I wanted and received much better customer service there.

Hello, my name is Bob and I’m a Aldiholic.
Keep in mind that Aldis has mostly just your staples and a few surprises each time you go in.
Firstly their German beer is fantastic and usually about $ 2.99 for a six. Tastes like Spaten.
Secondly, read their labels most items are German imports and usually very high quality especially their sauerkraut.
Third, they are basically Trader Joes as they are owned by the same family.
Yes you pay a quarter for a cart but since you want your quarter back you kkep the cart out of the parking lot, I wish every store did this.
Milk is cheap as is their coffee creamers and orange juice plus they have pretty good bacon.
As I said earlier my name is Bob and I’m a Aldiholic.
Thank you

A while ago I had a friend who was tight on money at the time who shopped at this weird place called Aldi’s, I found out the prices he was paying and I tasted some of the stuff he bought and I couldn’t believe it was so cheap and it tasted pretty good.
Later I checked this place out and I was shocked at how cheap I could shop with no coupons required. Some things are actually name brands relabeled to their own name brand, some things are not so good quality but for the price you get more good hits than misses.
The employees here are amazing. They are fast, well trained, efficient and super helpful and polite, never experienced better.
They save money by using this this system where you either use the boxes lying around while you shop to carry your food or you purchase some cheap bags (still worth it) Also, you put a quarter in to get your cart and get your quarter back so that you bring your cart back. A neat efficient system. A German company, figures why they are so efficient.
They also have (or had) a double money back guarantee and they honor it. I had to bring back some tuna fish that was not very good quality and they reimbursed me no prob double. Recently some cheese was moldy and they replaced it no prob, I didn’t ask for the double back because I just wanted it replaced.
The frozen fish is hit or miss, sometimes it sucks but I haven’t gotten lucky anywhere with cheap frozen fish. Meat is not on sale mostly but their prices are usually competitive and the quality is good
Pros: CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP (do you hear birds?)
Cons: They don’ t take credit cards (but as Lorna E. pointed out to me they do take debit cards)

Fellow Unilocalers. I stand before you as a man who has a problem.
I know you all will understand.
My name is Jim and I am a cheapskate.
I discovered Aldi eons ago, but I used to poo poo it because of no national brands and the plain way they presented the products. OK, I was stupid. I have learned that sometimes the brand doesn’t really matter. Pasta, for the most part is still pasta, and sometimes all you’re paying for is their advertising budget. Who needs that?
I have discovered Aldi is a place where a fin can go a long way. I love Mac and Cheese, you know the kind that comes in the box with the powdered cheese? I have perfected a recipe that makes it taste like the national brand only at ¼ the cost. So now, as a result of making a sow’s ear into a silk purse, I refuse to buy anything but Aldi’s version of Mac and Cheese.
Aldi is good if you need to eat and are low on funds. It also helps if you are creative in the kitchen and can make a dinner out of a few rag-​tag items. I am right now studying ways to make ordinary Spam into palatable dishes, and I am learning from no one less than Sam Choy and his wonderful website. Only one of my friends knows who he is since she also happens to be Hawaiian, or at least from Hawaii. But I digress.
I would give them 5 stars but that damned quarter cart trick really annoys me, and I do not like the idea of paying a dime for a plastic bag. I need to remember to bring my own if I want to really save some money. I have a collection of green bags that would impress Al Gore.
If you’re an Aldi virgin, don’t be scared. The food is good, and really, does anyone really need to spend more than 1.79 for a gallon of milk? I don’t think so.
