Aldi

I have loved Aldi ever since I was a little girl. This is one of the best places to do discounted grocery shopping. Aldi brand items are just as good as designer brand items and, sometimes they even sell brand-​name items at lower prices. You can find almost anything you need at Aldi and they are making efforts to provide more and more specialty type foods. They sell coconut oil, cashew butter, almond butter, raw honey, have a great line of fit and active foods, as well as a specialty line of Italian food products and even sell some Latino foods. Sometimes you will have to do a once over of your produce, but at what grocery store do you not have to do that?
I really like this particular location as it is in one of the areas that I work in. It’s a newer store, so it’s clean, bright, and the shelves are well-stocked.I heard one of the employees joking around with a customer and I really liked that. Sometimes Aldi employees can seem a little cut and dry — after all, they try to get you in and out with their lightning speed scanning skills lol. But I feel that the employees at this Aldi are pretty nice.
There’s also a nice selection of wine and be beer here. Scored a cute bottle of Sauvignon Blanc for $ 3.99 and a 6-​pk of Mexican beer for $ 5.99. So it’s not Corona or a bottle of high priced wine. I don’t mind. I just see it as a way to expand my horizons and try some different brands of adult beverages. ;-)
You also don’t want to forget to take a stroll down the specialty household items, as they change those products out every so often. They’ve got some great deals going on right now for summer and household storage products. I once scored an ice cream maker here for $ 14.99 and it works great! I’ve also bought cooking utensils, nice cutting boards, and baking sheets during some of the specialty sales.
This is all around one of my favorite stores to shop in. You really get the bang for your buck. Love me some Aldi!

This is a new Aldi store that has been open for a couple of months in Roanoke, TX. It is located right off of 377, just north of highway 114 and is an easy location to get in and out of.
I had never been to an Aldi store before visiting this one and I am now a believer. I was really tired of brands like Tom Thumb and Albertsons charging more and more for their food products, while being less than overwhelming in their service. I love food and I am picky about food, and Aldi is a great place for me to shop for my staples.
One of the keys to Aldi is they do not carry the «brand names» many of their products are their own brand. If you really look at food manufacturing in america, the big food producers are producing product for more than one brand. You have to try these products, I bet they are being made by the same producers as many of the other products that you are paying more for.
The three things that you need to know about shopping at Aldi that will make you first visit successful.
1. Bring your own bags, this is good for the environment any way so you should be doing this anyway.
2. Have a quarter for the cart. It is amazing how people will stop be lazy and return the cart if they have invested a quarter. No more cart dings in my car and I get my quarter back. We have a designated spot where I keep the «Aldi Quarter» in my car so that it is never an issue.
3. Be prepared to pay by cash, debit or check. This is just one way they keep the prices low. The money you save on groceries will far our weigh the airline miles you would have gotten on this grocery trip.
Seriously, give this a try.

New location is of course clean and inviting. Prices are much lower than traditional grocery stores. Plenty of deals on good basics, frozen foods, $ 5 bake at home pizzas, and fruits and veggies. Thin in the meat offerings. Bring a quarter for the cart.
