ALDI

Love Aldis. Great place to get the basics and then some very yummy surprise finds as well. Shopping here took a bit of getting used to for me but I’ve got it down now and I love it!

I love this place for gluten-​free options on shelf foods. Their eggs are cheaper than any other grocer. My grocery list doesn’t change when I come to aldi, whenever I have a cheese and meat anitpasto craving I come to aldi for their specialty selection of meats and cheeses.

Aldi’s is not the place where I buy all my groceries it is however the place where I get a lot of my produce. Most of the veggies are packed up but you would be hard pressed to find better prices on pepper, broccoli, onions and tomatoes and I dare you to find a cheaper avocado anywhere in town. You do have to be careful because everything that is cheap is not good. I don’t like their sharp cheddar but the specialty cheeses are great. People by gallons and gallons of milk and dozens and dozens of eggs. I don’t buy either I don’t drink milk and I prefer brown eggs. Everything is inexpensive so I don’t feel bad trying a product because if I don’t like it I’m not out of a lot of money. The stores are generally clean and well stocked, The only negative is most of the time there are not enough cashiers and lines get long quickly. I like to save so I wait, I only complain in my head.

I fortunately live right down the street from this place. 45 cents for canned vegetables is awesome so I always stock up. They are 68 cents at walmart. The eggs, produce and meat are amazing and the prices as even better. milk is often a dollar cheaper here than you will find at walmart. The only thing that they could do better is accept credit cards and open more registers when people randomly all seem to want to check out at the same time.

I went in here to grab an entrée/​meat for dinner and ended up coming out with some wild caught salmon (2 lbs), blue cheese crumbles, 4 lemons and paid $ 10! No lie! Insanely awesome! Bring your own shopping bags (since they don’t have them) and fill er up with goodies! The produce here is great… seriously so many deals has me wondering why I’ve literally been throwing money away at stores all of these years. They don’t have anything fancy but if it’s basic grocery staples you’re looking for this is your spot!

I was returning produce which was unopened and in good condition. The store manager said that she can’t do the return because she can’t resale it. I asked «So you’re not honoring your return policy?» She just paused for a little bit and said sorry and shrugged her shoulders. But I’m sure you will have no problem returning stuff if you’re WHITE!
FOOD QUALITY
This German corporation sells low quality food with ingredients known to be harmful to humans. I also noticed that the majority of their customers look sickly. I wouldn’t eat anything there even if they paid me BILLIONS!

I’ve never actually been able to go into this ALDI due to their hours. My daughters school is near by and this is the closest and best priced grocery store, so if her teacher asks me to go grab something quick that they didn’t get from a parent for an even I always try to go to this aldi but I would have to wait an hour for them to open … I can drive around to Kroger down N Euless main or something in the time I waited an hour for them to open. Both times I’ve gone, once not knowing their hours, the second forgetting they didn’t open until 9, I saw at least 3 or 4 people pull in, look at their hours and drive away. So they must be loosing some amount of buisness, I know its to save on cost … but both times I saw employees in the building so its not like they are reducing cost on staff cause they are already there.

They now carry sauerkraut! Yay!

I really love Aldi. Although most of their stuffs are not name brands, it doesn’t mean that the quality is bad. In fact, I personally think Aldi’s stuffs are really high quality. They have good price, good quality, and the cashier is well trained too. Most of them are pretty friendly. Best of all, from my last visit, the cashier accidentally enter the wrong code. So instead of tomatoes, he charged me for bing cherries. Guess how they fixed it? Refund the money of the cherries and gave me the tomatoes for free. How good is that?!
I really love Aldi. Again, the service is not bad. Although they don’t have much service, when they do, it’s always 5-​star quality. I totally recommend Aldi. It has been my favorite grocery store for a year and counting.
Oh yeah, and one more thing. There were two things from Aldi that I tried failed me. One is coffee. Another one is donuts. That’s about it. The following list is the ones that I buy from Aldi, and I think they are REALLY good.
Great stuffs: popcorns, chocolate, milk, eggs, clam chowder, bathroom scale, toast, cream cheese, American cheese, bagels, and other things that right now my mind is just blank.
Ok stuffs: yogurt, organic soy milk.
Don’t recommend: Coffee, donuts.

The US version of Aldi is just not the same as it’s German counterpart. Yes the quarter cart returns are there, the giant bags of Haribo too, but there is just something missing (perhaps higher quality goods). To be fair I was never a big fan of Aldi period, no matter the locality, but seriously our version isn’t all that. Everything has a cheap feel to it, and nearly everything is re-​branded, so you typically have little to no idea of an item’s origins. I tried one of their meat offerings, a fake filet or sorts, it was terrible. The one thing that really holds them back for me is how difficult they make it for me to shop there. They don’t take credit cards, they don’t have any employees to help you, and they take the items out of your cart and place them into a new one at checkout to prevent theft. Too many hoops and hurdles for my taste, but they do indeed have a few high quality items at reasonable prices. I’m glad to hear we’ll be getting Trader Joe’s, which is essentially Aldi with a bit of class and stature. I will be frequenting those when they are finally here, but I don’t foresee too many tips to Aldi in the future.
Also is it just me, or do 90% of the people shopping there really look like they’re in agonizing pain?

don’t come here too often, but they have some stuff others don’t and I like that. BTW, you get your quarter back for the cart if you return it.

Aldi is okay for a grocery store. If you can get past the brands, then you will save alot of money. I walked out with a bagful of items for a really great price. I really like how have to bring your own bags. Also, when you pay a quarter to get a cart, you get the quarter back when you return it… They are also only cash or debit.

I’m a fan of Aldi, but my wife would much prefer the regular grocery stores. This particular location does a great job keeping the store clean and shelves stocked. I recently had a problem with a jar of mustard that was not sealed well. I attempted to exchange the mustard, but all the jars in were not sealed. They gave me a replacement product and a $ 1.99 credit.
I have only had a few issues, but speaking to the store manager has quickly rectified each situation. Then take into count the money savings and I’m a happy camper.
