Aldi

If you aren’t part of the Aldi cult, you should consider joining. My wife has been a big Aldi fan for a while, and I always felt like she had joined a cult without me. You see, I have always felt a one-​stop shop for groceries is a better option.
Then, this weekend, it was too cold to take the kids to the grocery store, so I went to Aldi on my own with her shopping list. I was in and out in a few minutes. It took me a while to get used to the layout, but the store is small enough I will remember where everything is next time. The food is of a great quality – and I’d be willing to pay a little more – but part of the appeal is that Aldi has great quality, great prices, and is a quick in-​and-​out trip. Aldi is in Irvington, which means I save time compared with shopping for groceries in the ‘burbs.
I gave a four star review because the stock was a little low, and I still think Aldi is to our shopping like Oberwiess it to others. It’s a great way to supplement your large shopping trips, but it is unlikely it will replace the supermarket altogether. But it is a clean, fun place to shop in between larger trips to the grocery store or Super Target.

This Aldi is bigger than the one I’m used to out in Avon. That is a nice change as the selection and volume is greater and it is a bit less crowded and easier to navigate.
Being an Aldi junkee, I’m not terribly picky about which store I go to, but this one is the closest to home now, so I go here. As with any Aldi, I’m hard pressed, no matter how much I toss in the cart, to break $ 100. Can’t go wrong with that.
This Aldi has a very nice selection of wines, cheeses, etc. In addition, they have plenty of seasonal items that rotate throughout the year. The upside is that you get variety. The downside is that you get attached to something and then it gets discontinued. Oh well, such is life.
This store is always clean and the staff is friendly. I’m one of those weird people who actually enjoys grocery shopping, so that makes a big difference.
Definitely not complaining that this is my closest Aldi!

This is one of the worst Aldi’s I have ever been to. The store was not fully stocked, the produce had a ton of gnats flying around it bc it was past gross. The salad in the coolers was already slimy. My visit wad around noon so they had all morning to restock the fresh meat and they were just getting around to that. I don’t know why since nothing else was stocked and the nasty ass produce wasn’t pulled. When I got to the check lanes no one was there, so I went to the only one without a «CLOSED» sign on it and started unloading. That’s when the cashier came up and told me that register wasn’t open and went to one of the other ones with a «CLOSED» sign, removed it and began taking other customers while I proceeded to put my items back in my cart to move over to her lane. What a terrible and infuriating experience, hence the one star.

This Aldi location has just finished a major remodel and it looks fantastic. The size of the store has increased by at least 30%. There are more items than ever before. Most importantly, The produce and fresh meat section have improved. The prices are still great but compared to the other locations, this place is amazing and new.
The amount of each item kept in stock has also improved as well. It has to be the best location in Indy so far. Plus, The place is always clean and tidy unlike some other big box retailers I could mention. They accept debit and ATM cards, cash, and EBT benefits. No credit cards or personal checks.
