Aldi

Aldi is one of my go-​to markets. The prices are so cheap, so as to make it ridiculous not to shop there. Admittedly, I’m a Trader Joe’s girl, but there are certain items that I purchase only at Aldi, because they are a steal. Milk, eggs, butter, fresh fruits and vegetables, the bags of frozen fuits and vegetables that I always keep on hand in my freezer, blocks of cheese (You’re not using pre-​grated cheese, are you?). Generally, I don’t use canned products, so I can’t speak for any of those carried in the store. The staff is always friendly to me; of course, I’m a familiar face in the store. All upside for me.
(Kroger who?)

Have to be honest, this is probably one of my favorite grocery stores ever.
It’s small, so it’s easy to get in and out of and it’s easy to learn where everything is (with some variation of course, as what’s available changes from time to time).
It’s dirt cheap. You can find a Tombstone pizza here for $ 1.99 where it would cost you at least twice that at Kroger.
There isn’t much staff here to speak of, but the staff that they have are very pleasant and always hardworking. Honestly, I kind of prefer it this way. No one to bother you while you’re shopping.
I have nothing but good things to say about Aldi. I try to make it a habit to come here at least once a week every Wednesday after work.

This is a very nice grocery store. I have been shopping here since they opened, and I love it.
Their prices are about the best in town. The vegetables usually look very good. I have never had any problems with anything I have bought here.
Most of their items are product of USA, or they are labeled with the nation of origin. Of course, the speciality items from Germany, etc. Aren’t ‘from here.
They carry some seasonal items.
It’s easy to tell the difference between the seasonal, special, and regular pricing by the colour of the signage.
Oh, and everything has prominent price signage. (Imagine that.)
I seldom go to Kroger or Wal-​Mart…
I love this place.
Make sure you bring cash or a debit card with your PIN… they don’t accept checks or credit cards. It keeps their cost down. I see a lot of stores going that route.
Their store hours are shorter than many… they open at 10:00 and close at 8:00 weekdays and Saturday. They close at 6:00 on Sunday.
Oh, and they pay a living wage!
All of their staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful.. maybe the living wage helps.
There is plenty of parking available.
I have found some pricing difference between this location and the one on the other side of town. Not usually much, but sometimes a bit. Sometimes I find an item at one that I don’t find at the other. No big deal, just a little interesting, sometimes.
If you haven’t tried ALDI, stop in sometime, you will probably like it.

I do most of my shopping at Aldis for my staple items. There are certain food items that I won’t venture from the name brand on that I don’t buy here, but most everything else I do. They usually always have the lowest prices in milk, eggs, fruit, etc. Occasionally they will have name brand items. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because they don’t take coupons on the items that are name brand. You also have to pay cash or use a debit card.

Best grocery store ever! Prices are cheaper than other competitors. You bag your own groceries.
