Aldi

This is a relatively small Aldi’s (compared to the one in Ithaca I used to frequent), but it gets the job done. Weekly produce sales are fantastic and it provides staples for us on a budget. Check your packages to make sure there aren’t any bad apples (literally). I usually avoid packaged food and meat here — those items are a hit or miss with quality. Eggs are always super cheap here and I do stop by for those and it’s cheaper than Costco (we go through eggs really quickly).
The do not provide bags and I always forget mine so I grab an empty cardboard box from around the store and use it as a shopping basket (haven’t been told off yet). Speaking of, they also require quarters for their shopping carts which I always forget.
They do take credit card now which is awesome!

4 stars for extremely low prices and healthy options.
Aldi’s is a discount grocery store chain. The chain is based in Germany and carries a lot of products from there. Many of these products are free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, and many other unpleasant things! Heads up: You need a quarter to use the carts. You get the quarter back when you return the cart to the appropriate spot.
Aldi’s is a kind of hit or miss. I sometimes really like their products, but next time you go, it’s gone. However, the next time you go there might be something new and festive. Not all of their products are like this, but a lot of their frozen items rotate out quickly. One of their staples is a soup (potato and leek) that is amazing, doesn’t have weird ingredients, and cheap.
Aldi’s also has fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, and other items. You can get paper products here as well. They even have miscellaneous knick-​knack items like pillows and products that you’d see on an infomercial. They might not have everything a typical grocery store might, but they’ll usually do for most things.
Overall, if you’re looking for super low prices and some healthy options, this is a great place.

We have become fans of Aldi’s ever since our budget was cut by over half.
You have to be careful what you shop for. We do well with pantry staples: sugar, flour, eggs, chips, salsa, shredded cheese, etc. Their almond milk is the best price in town (approx. $ 2.48 for a half gallon).
I would not shop there for produce, other than the large bag of potatoes. We don’t shop there for fresh meat. We do well with the frozen chickens.
The wine & chocolate are very good, too.
Seriously, if you are on a very tight budget, give this place a try.
Tips:
*Bring your own bags
*Bring a quarter to «check out» your shopping cart.

Aldi is great for everything but produce. I bought a bag of onions from this location only to cut open one and find a maggot. Absolutely disgusting.

Aldi is a place where you can get mostly off-​brand groceries for cheap. They are similar to Save-​A-​Lot, but they are much cleaner than Save-​A-​Lot and the prices are more reasonable as well.
Aldi is favorite place of mine to get pantry items, cheese, milk, and eggs. I don’t mess with the produce at Aldi, because I’ve had some bad experiences in the past. Some of the fruit containers are left open. A lot of the fruit/​vegetables are not good. I mean you can find good fruits and vegetables at Aldi, but you have to make sure you look over them very carefully before you purchase. I personally don’t buy any fruits/​vegetable there. I get all my produce from Freshfield Farms.
The main thing I love about Aldi is the fact that they are way cheaper than other grocery stores. I mean on certain items, they are even cheaper than walmart. Aldi has me buying items that I never bought before because of the prices. For example, the extra virgin olive oil is $ 2.99, and it’s imported from italy. The White Cheddar and Gouda cheese is about $ 2.49. One dozen eggs are about $ 1.19.
Aldi also have a good selection of chocolate and wine. Most of the chocolate are imported from europe, about 1.99 a bar, and in my opinion, they taste better than the name brand chocolate. They also have a pretty good wine selection for cheap as well. I recently bought a bottle of italian wine (14.5ABV), and it was around $ 7.99. This wine was incredible. I couldn’t believe it was less than $ 10 bucks a bottle.
Bottom Line: I would suggest that you go to Aldi for pantry items, cheese, milk, eggs, wine and chocolate. As I stated before, if you buy produce there, please make sure you check them carefully before you purchase. Also, make sure you bring a quarter for the shopping carts.

I recently gave all Aldi’s a second chance and I have to say I was pleased. I really appreciate the fact that there aren’t 10 choices for every item .Aldi’s really does have anything you need as far as pantry produce and frozen foods the prices are better than Publix on BOGO. Goat cheese $ 1.99 vs publix $ 4.99-nice! Check it out :-)

Great place to pick up some last min items for very cheap. Some stuff is hit or miss for taste, like avoid their boneless chicken wings they are pretty gross. All their fresh stuff is great though, and some of the frozen stuff is alright. I bought a bunch of stuff from here for less than a few items I picked up at wholefoods.

Of the 3 Aldi’s that I’ve been to in Orlando this is the nicest. The staff is great and you can’t beat the prices. The parking lot seems dicey though and the area is pretty run down. The have excellent basic grocery items and don’t forget your quarter for the cart and your own bags, but to save $ 50 off what you’d pay at Publix makes it worth it.

Aldi’s a place where you can get groceries for cheap. A lot of the brands are off-​brands and may not taste like the best you’ve had, but if you’re on a budget, Aldi’s the place to go. The box mac & cheese still tastes like box Kraft mac & cheese to me.
Be sure you bring a quarter, because you need to have one in order to «rent» out a grocery cart. I think they do that so you will actually bring back the cart to the store instead of leaving it in the parking lot. There is minimal staff, and that is how they are able to sell the food so cheap. OH and remember to bring reusable or regular grocery bags of your own too! You are able to purchase plastic bags at the end but it’s always nicer to bring your own so you don’t have to buy them.
They also have produce, meats, breads, and frozen foods as well for very cheap.
While checking out, the cashier was pretty friendly. The cashiers scan the food item and puts it back in your grocery cart. After all the items are scanned and paid for, you have to bag them yourself by the counter at the front of the store. Again, they have minimal staff.
Overall, great idea for a grocery store in order to keep prices down. Go on a weekday because it won’t be as busy!

Aldi is a favorite place of mine to get fresh fruit and veggies. This location is close to my house and the price is much cheaper than Publix (which I really love). Unlike Publix sometimes shopping here is not really a pleasure. You have to bring your own bags (which I am a fan of) or buy bags there. The cashiers are timed so they quickly throw all of your stuff into a cart and then you go to the side to bag your groceries. By the way, don’t forget your quarter to get your cart (which you get back when you return your cart) If you do forget you can get a quarter from a cashier. Also, if you need help you are on your own because they employ a minimum number of people.
I keep returning to Aldi because the prices of some items can’t be beat. Even though, there are very few brand named items the Aldi brand does taste pretty good in everything I’ve had.
Overall, Aldi keeps prices down by stripping their stores to the bare minimum, especially in employees and service. However, what they lack in service they make up for in great value.

The more I go to ALDI, the more it surprises me. I have found some fantastic produce, bread and cheeses (the Havarti is amazing!) that I would rather buy here because I know they will be affordable and in most cases, be of comparable quality. The fruits typically last just as long as they would from any other store. I’m certainly a fan :)

This isn’t my home aldi, but I go to this one occasionally. Overall, I like Aldi. I mean no, you aren’t gonna find that special organic speghetti sauce with organic mushrooms grown in Nebraska, but you’ll find a decent selection of normal sauces, that are perfect for me, at a good price.
Other staples are cheaper here as well, milk, eggs, basic produce, and frozen items. I like the «smart one» knock offs, they actually taste better, are low calorie, and 99 cents… I usually pay 2 – 3 $ for a frozen meal at publix/​Target.
My favorite is that occasionally they have lobster tail for 3.50 a tail, or $ 7 a pack (2) You can not beat that. They are decent lobster, I usually stock up, but that deal isn’t all the time, sadly.
They have other misc items, frozen stir fry, frozen chicken patties, ect that are very cheap, compared to other stores. They also have ethnic foods, some German dishes, cakes, veal (frozen), ect.
They don’t really have name brands, but I really don’t care, from my experience, the items are just as good, if not better. Aldi also has a double your money back, so if you don’t like an item, you can return it and get double your money back, they stand by their products.
Overall, they are a better price. NOW, if you shop the sales at other stores (Publix, WinnDixie, ect) and use coupons and/​or B1G1, then you will probably save more money that way. But over all, for the simple things, Aldi is great!

I’d just moved into Hunter’s Ridge apartments a few days ago and after my dad helped me get most of everything in, we had to go get food. The nearest Walmart was about 6 miles away and dad didn’t want to drive that far. I really wanted to avoid Publix because it was a tendancy of being expensive. On our way, he saw Aldi and pulled up. They may not have name brand things, but they do have quite a bit of what you need to stay alive. If you need the basics for really cheap, here is where to go. With $ 100, I got enough food for an entire month.

Aldi is a great place to shop, The prices are amazing. They don’t have some things we all like that is why it is 4 stars but honestly it is my first stop when grocery shopping for the family. Anything I couldn’t get I just pop into to Publix. I have to say also that Aldis customers service has always been so wonderful. They are always kind and helpful.
Things like, milk, sliced cheese, A1, crackers, chip ect are all WAY cheaper than anywhere else. I can put my money to good use doing fun things with the family instead paying for overpriced groceries.
Yes if you don’t bring your own bags you have to buy they plastic or paper they have on hand. however, I keep my «green» bags in the car anyway so that I am not getting plastic all the time so it doesn’t really effect me. I think that every store should do it that way so everyone will start using reusable bags instead of those terrible plastic bags.

Aldi is a good place to go to pick up a few staples. I usually head there to get eggs, milk, meats, and certain veggies. The veggies are extremely cheap and pretty decent looking/​tasting. Today I bought a pack of 2 peppers (a red and a yellow) which are usually well over $ 4 a pound at Publix — for only $ 1.99. I also got a large pack of 8 Roma tomatoes for $ 1.29. The meat is equally cheap, with lean ground turkey at 2.79 for a pound and chicken breast at about 3 bucks a pack.
If you’re looking to eat healthy they also have a line of «Fit and Healthy» products which are basically like Lean Cuisine. The stuff is pretty decent tasting, especially the cereal bars. They are suppoesd to be a knockoff of the Special K cereal bars — they actually taste BETTER!
The only downside of Aldi is the minimal selection. If you’re looking for something specific, you may not find it. So be prepared to make a second trip to Publix across the road. If you live near Aldi, it’s definitely worth it to make a stop in and get some stuff!
P. S. Bring your own bags and a quarter for a shopping cart! They also only take Cash or Debit.

Aldis has recently descended upon Orlando. I overheard a fellow customer say that 12 others have opened in the area in the last month or so. So kudos to Aldis for creating jobs and providing cheap grocery products. But are they cheapest around? I don’t think so.
If you are not familiar with their gimmicks here’s a crash course: you have to pay for plastic bags if you want them as well as a shopping cart. They are no nonsense and no frills and very rarely use name brand goods. They do not have a deli area or a bakery. In fact, produce are the only items to come fresh. The meats are frozen and the rest can be considered dry goods.
The selection isn’t anything to scream about though. You will not find organic items nor will you find the healthier versions. For example expect white rice and normal dried pasta. I didn’t see a whole grain options for either. Some of these items seemed to be a few pennies cheaper, but in some cases, their prices were higher than those at Super Target or even Publix – shocking right? Milk was a steal though at $ 2.79 per gallon and eggs not too shabby either at $ 1.19 for a carton. Name brands were few and far between and the only ones I noticed were Dole and Nabisco.
Aside from food, they carry things for the home such as comforters, toasters and computers. Yup, they have a desktop for sale with a price tag of $ 499.00. I guess they have one up on Publix then in the computer department.
Overall, I wouldn’t make a special trip here.
