Aldi

I have found the produce at Aldi to be much better than at other grocery stores. In fact, there are plenty of healthy eating choices at this store. I happen to be a vegetarian and can find plenty of non meat options. They sell assorted other items there, as well. I bought a nice shag, area rug there recently at a great price. I definitely recommend this store.

I love Aldi’s. Yes, the selection may not be as wide as a full grocery store but wow, the money you save on all the staples. We buy all of our dairy, bacon, cereal, canned foods, snacks, frozen veggies, frozen juice and much of our fresh fruits and veggies. Sure we could afford to go more expensive stores but why would we want to throw our money away for «brand names» of consumed products.
The cashiers are also the fastest ever and always pleasant and courteous. I hope they never ever leave!

I love this store.
I’m a young working gal… I can’t believe how much money I save on food when I shop here. The staff is great (one gal even went in the back room to get me something that hadn’t been unpacked yet) and all the food is really fresh. The place is well organized and clean. They have a great variety of food, and the prices are amazing. Last time I bought cherries at Whole Foods, they were $ 6.99 a lb. At Aldi, they’re $ 2.99/lb.
They also take debit cards, and give cash back!

Favorite Aldi in the Chicago and surrounding suburban area by far.
Maybe it’s because it’s located in Evanston but this is definitely the best Aldi around. I was quite surprised that on a Saturday afternoon, during primo shopping time, this place wasn’t absolutely packed. Not only were the aisles not packed, but the aisles weren’t packed with completely crazy people! How novel! I finally don’t feel like I’m going to be attacked while shopping for groceries!
The store itself isn’t overly fancy, it’s a normal Aldi, kept clean and organized. They have booze which they don’t all have but I’ve since stopped wanting to buy booze from Aldi in my older age. Maybe for a cheap-​o bottle of red wine with friends, but I’m starting to get spoiled with good wine and good beer … anyway. They also have real brand name soda, Diet Coke, Coke, Sprite, which I have never seen at an Aldi before! Not sure if this is based on location, but Evanston’s got it!
Some of my favorite products recently purchased at this location:
Canned fat free refried beans, 33 cent packages of El Milagros corn tortillas (33CENTS!!!), Fit and Active frozen Turkey Burger patties, Friendly Farms Fat Free Greek Yogurt — this stuff is so delicious and Fit and Active stock in a box. The list goes on of course but I’ll stop …
I’ve always loved Aldi, even with the crazy people, but now I can love Aldi in a more relaxing environment, conveniently located along my drive home from work.

I really like this aldi. Its always clean and I don’t mind the people that shop here either, no offense to the other locations. They ahve a good variety of foods including different specialty cheeses. They are open on Sundays.

Aldi offers sweet deals in their weekly specials section; come on Wednesdays for the freshest produce. They definitely sell quality food for low prices, but be prepared for the following:
1. Bring a quarter to retrieve your grocery cart.
2. Bag your own groceries in your own grocery bags. They charge for extra bags.
3. Pay by cash/​debit card during checkout.
Overall, if you don’t mind self-​service, give Aldi a shot. Note that they close by 7pm if you come on a weekend.

Attention.Attention.this location now sells beer & wine!!!

My favorite Aldi so far! We’ve now moved to a different neighborhood, but may still trek up here occasionally for one, the tax break of being in Evanston rather than Chicago and two, the location right next to Petsmart and Steak ‘n Shake. It’s often pretty much one stop shopping for us — gas and a wash at the place across the street, lunch/​dinner at Steak ‘n Shake, then the hubby and son head into Petsmart to visit the kitties and pick up litter and food for our two furballs and I head to Aldi for the people food. :)
This location is not usually crowded and often has the weekly specials out early (nice surprise). There’s nothing hugely different about this location, but we like it. Parking is easy too. Usually find everything we need and a few extras, feeding a family of 3 for about $ 60 a week. Not bad, I say.

For its grand opening weekend, this Aldi, I suspect to hint at its German roots, had a Smart Car with the Aldi brand painted on it parked outside the main entrance.
The place was crowded on Saturday afternoon, yet I got out quickly with the efficient service. I got almost everything on my grocery list including eggs, lunch meat, packaged soup, lettuce, and oranges. I couldn’t find a few specific items like whole grain pasta, but picked up some specialty type goods like vegetable chips and individually packaged frozen tilapia. I list these specific items to detail the kind of products you can get at Aldi for a very reasonable price.
The prices are kept low, in part, because of some of the effort the customer must put forth. This means bringing back your shopping cart to the main entrance (and you’ll get your quarter deposit back as a reward). You must also buy bags, or bring your own. Much like a member card club, you can use available boxes as well.
I think these minor adjustments to the typical American grocery shopping experience are worth the great value you get shopping at Aldi.
