Aldi

My second trip here near my parents house. Mom told me about their prices and Chocolate chip brioche. Brioche in the hood? Believe it or not it’s from France and it does taste good! Their selection is bare bones. Like only one producer of their organic milk. So they have Fat free, 2% and whole milk. And so they only take 3 spots on the shelves and no other. Therefore there is no dazzling array of choices or prices to compare. But then the price is so good and I don’t need to look beyond a label that is organic. Organic milk for less than $ 3.00 is unheard of unless it’s on sale. The cashiers are fast (because they don’t bag your items) and pleasant. Cash and debit only. No credit cards. I took away a star because they are a little disorganized. By the way, I heard Aldi is a discounted European store chain so you can find great prices on imported chocolates here.

Why Aldi? The prices. Can’t beat them even with sales. Great way to stock up on basics. Can’t do all shipping here but baking supplies cheese soy milk are always good.

If you’re looking for low-​price/​high-​quality groceries, you’ve come to the right place. In exchange for some minor inconveniences your reward is huge savings. It would not be a stretch to say that MY FAMILY SAVES MORE THAN A THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR BY SHOPPING HERE. Here’s what you need to know before you go:
1) Bring a quarter. This is how you get your grocery cart out. Your quarter will be returned to you when you return your cart.
2) You will bag your own groceries. You can purchase grocery bags there or you can just bring your own and add it to your savings.
3) Most every item, save a few specialty buys, is from one Aldi house brand or another.
4) The quality of Aldi house brand items is much better than your run-​of-​the-​mill grocery store house brand. It is comperable with the quality of national brands. You might compare it to Kirkland, which is Costco’s house brand, and is usually of superior quality.
5) Aldi has some staples (milk, eggs, butter, bread, canned items, etc.) and then rotates some items in and out. You will always be able to find the basics but may not find more obscure items there every time. We often supplement our Aldi shopping with trips to the nieghborhood grocery store a couple time a month to cover for these items.
6) Aldi sells seasonal durable goods at a fraction of the cost you would find elsewhere. Pick up the weekly flyer while your there so you know what is coming up. These goods often sell out so come early if you spot something you really want. We recently bought a Charbroil grill there that was 20% cheaper than you could find it at Wal-​Mart and this is hardly the best buy we’ve ever found.
I’m knocking off a star for this specific location because the neighborhood is a little sketchy and the store is sometimes in disarray. I don’t mind too much, though, because ultimately I can see those savings going into my pocket.

I absolutely love Aldi!!! This location has great staff as well! They carry an all organic line that tastes great and is great for the wallet. I frequent so often the staff knows me! wherever I live will have to have a location within 5 miles!!!

What a fantastic supermarket! Did you know that Aldi is afiliated with Trader Joe’s and is their discount-​brand?
Many of Trader Joe’s products can be found in «no-​known name packaging» made for Aldi –same items as found at Trader Joes –but cheaper prices! You gotta try this place. Huge selection of gluten free items can be found at Aldi too! (if one location doesn’t have a big selection try another location). Prices are much less then Giant Food or Safeway. I have found the food pricing comprable to Costco and even Walmart. You will save money not only in buying food here, but the prices are comperable to Costco and you don’t have to buy huge packages, so you’ll save money because you don’t throw things out that go bad because you couldn’t you eat it soon enough. Gluten Free Baking Mix 16oz. Is only priced at about $ 2.50. Be sure to try the Aldi brand «Sundae Shoppe» Vanilla Ice Cream. It’s a creamy, rich & delicious –even better than Breyers or Edy’s and at $ 1.99 for just about a ½ gallon, you can’t beat the price! Chocolate chips are cheap and tastes exactly like Nestle’s. Raisins are cheap too.
Don’t let the no name brand packaging scare you. Just try some items. If you don’t like it you can bring it back. Keep your receipt they have a money back guarantee. I’ll bet you’ll be hooked though after trying this place!

Super annoying. The lines are always long and I never seen more than 2 lines open. Oh and what type of grocery store don’t accept credit cards?! Greedy f*cks want there money upfront lol. They only take debit cards and EBT. I really can’t!

I do love me some Aldi. All I need are basic items for my dining pleasure. I don’t need fancy name brands and love saving money cause I’m frugal like that. This place has the best prices on food and dairy — a gallon of milk is only $ 2.79 — that’s crazy talk! This is a European grocery chain and as such, it is reflected in how they stock their food — less items to choose from, smaller brands (mostly house), all stock is on the floor, and produce packaged to last just a couple of days. What I really like is that they have really awesome German items all year long, and the Christmas selection of them is really awesome. You do have to bring your own bags or pay 6 cents for a bag (like the old Shoppers), and you have to bag your own items plus they only take cash or debit. For me, that’s not a bad thing. I like packaging things up the most resourceful way and I have a debit card so it’s all good. Give this place a try — you will be quite pleasantly surprised! Oh — and bring a quarter for the grocery cart — you make a deposit to get one and then when you return it your quarter is returned too.
