Aldi

Welcome to Aldi, a German based grocery chain that offers everything you need at low prices. To appreciate it you have to understand the (fabulous) business model.
Aldi offers most all the same foods and novelties that a «regular» grocery store offers; however, instead of 15 brands you will find 2. It’s very possible neither will be one you know since again, they’re probably German or European based. There are no «live» departments. There are packaged meats, fish (frozen), bakery items and TV dinners, but there’s no deli counter, butcher or fish guy. There is however fresh produce, cheap steaks, seasonal novelties, paper and plastic goods, «specials of the week» ie. 8 frozen stuffed clams for $ 3.50 or a box of jalapeño poppers for $ 3, and some of the most amazing chocolate everything ever. Seriously — do yourself the favor and try any of the chocolate bars or chocolate wafer cookies. I really love the specialty mustards and trail mixes they offer as well.
Presentation is made of just three or four wide isles with shelves stacked and racked with products. Amazingly, everything is clearly labeled and it’s easy to identify prices. This particular store is clean and organized, and the staff is all incredibly friendly.
Don’t forget to bring your own bags, or you’ll need to buy some there for $.05 or $.06 each. Also you need to put a quarter in the shopping carts to use them, but you get it back when you chain it back in place (ask for help if you don’t get it).

I went to this particular Aldi’s to pick up a few items and decided to give it a show on my way home from work… Boy was I disappointed…
25 cents for a shopping cart and they do not bag your items… I did buy two items only this is due to the fact that a few items they had advertised were not in the store and there were no employees in the store too help you…
Two cashiers at the register were the only two employees basically present…
Only debit cards they accept as well as cash…
