Aldi

Great quality, the prices are so good you can loose your mind and go nuts buying stuff because you can’t pass up the deal. Now that I have calmed down about it enough to just get what I need I would estimate It takes $ 100 at Publix for what I can get at Aldi’s for $ 60ish… I am not needing fancy brands but I am health conscious and I get what I need with no sacrifices and I would say better quality with organic and no GMO choices. I put a laundry basket in my trunk to put the food in since they don’t do free bags. Also bring a quarter as you will need one.

Now before you go in with unrealistic expectations, please note that Aldi’s is not your typical grocery store, it’s not Publix, or Whole Foods, while owned by Trader Joe’s there are some differences.
I first heard about Aldi with raves of great prices and no frills shopping.
First of all, check online for the closest location to you. I’ve been to two of the locations and the variety is similar.
Bring a quarter to deposit into shopping cart for use (you get it when you return the cart).
While there may be some brands you recognize most of the brands are unique to Aldi’s. Where they lack in familiarity they make up for in similarity to quality and taste.
Check out their website for their weekly ad and go in ready to save.
As you check out, you’ll realize that bags are not free – bring your own or purchase a few from 10 cents to 33 cents.

Okay, I don’t like buying non-​local produce, but this place ROCKS! Except for the tomatoes (I opted for a can of diced over ‘fresh’) you can live like royalty on a paupers budget. Walmart beats Aldi on good cheap wine, though! LOVE ALDI!

Love this place! Prices are excellent and quality is good. I like being able to go to the store and not have to walk through a huge maze of aisles. Remember to bring a quarter for a cart. Bring your own bags. Staff is efficient and helpful. The only problem at this Aldi is that most of the time there is only 1 cashier. When it gets busy there is a bit of a wait but usually things move along quickly. I used to be a Publix gal but now a good portion of my family’s grocery money goes to Aldi! If you see something you like, grab it as it may or may not be there next time. Trying European-​style chocolates, crackers, and other products has been a bit of an adventure. There is a good selection of gluten free items which are mostly good. I didn’t like the GF frozen pizza or Southwest Frozen Pocket Sandwiches. The GF bread is good, as are the GF crackers, GF pretzels, and GF granola. Happy Shopping!
