Aldi

This grocery store is the best thing to have appeared in the suburbs in recent times. Their prices can’t be beat and now that they have added organic products at reduced prices, Aldi is giving the other grocery stores a real run for their money. Yes, it could be a little larger with more offerings but I am always amazed at some of the new products that they have added. And I think the way they have set up their grocery carts is ingenious in that patrons return them & get a quarter refunded. I know of no other store that does that. Very smart & clever! Love this store!

A bigger, cleaner, and generally better than average Aldi store. Carries more items because it has more space. Well laid out and well maintained. Note: While distantly related to the Trader Joe owners through old family ties, it is in no way the same company, they just both have ties back to the same German families who split up the company years ago and went their separate ways. Consider them on their own merits.

I typically only shop at this location when I am in the area and need a few items. I find that this store always seems to have unacceptable produce. It is either over ripened or completely gone bad. The selection is not the greatest either.

I always start my grocery shopping at an ALDI. I can get roughly 80 percent of my groceries for about 50 percent of the cost elsewhere. Milk is milk and eggs are eggs, regardless of where you get it. You’re not going to find saffron or your favorite brand of low-​carb tortillas, but most of my family’s healthy staples come from here.
I know ALDI has a bit of a stigma. I don’t understand this. Go there, try the food and compare. Most of the brands there are made by the same people who create your favorite pasta sauce, just with a different label.
Still not convinced? The same people who run ALDI run Trader Joe’s. Food for thought.

They don’t have the greatest selection of items but their prices are WAY better than other grocery stores and overall quality is good. We shop there regularly instead of Jewel or Dominic’s.
BTW, they are owned by the same company as Trader Joes.

Jewel and Dominicks are way over priced when you are trying to feed a family in this economy. I buy my groceries at Aldi now for a fraction of the cost.
