Review from Christian H.

God, I LOVE Aldi! Go here to save money not for the atmosphere.
1. Bring your own bags - one of the ways they save cash is by not providing customers with bags.
2. Bring a quarter to get a shopping cart. It forces you to bring it back to the front of the store and not leave the cart by your car. You get the quarter back, no worries.
3. Bring a DEBIT CARD not a credit card. They do not accept credit cards to cut back on fees - further saving you money.
4. Be prepared to fill your grocery cart for about $50.
I literally cut my grocery expenditure in half by going to Aldi instead of a chain grocery store. I find their brands a good quality for the money without having to buy in bulk at places like Costco.
Hint: What I can't get at Aldi I get at the Farmers Market about a mile down the road. -

I just discovered Aldi not too long ago. Aldi is a frugal person's grocery store. It's not because of its low prices either. It's how they run their stores. It's so efficient and cost-cutting that they're able to give the savings back to their customers. I can admire that.
You won't see exotic ingredients here either, nor will you find many different brands. You also need to bring your own bag or box to carry your groceries out. You also have to rent a cart if you want to use one. You will also notice the isles are smaller, and everything looks packed into one place. All of these I don't mind. I do have to remember to bring cash though since they don't take credit cards.
You will save a lot of money on your groceries if you buy here. That is the best part. The quality of the products you get isn't any worse than what you can get at Kroger or Publix, except you're paying a lot less. And that's as good as it gets.Listed in: Grocery Shopping

I love this little grocery store. It's one of the main places I shop for food. I am not a "frozen-reheat" kind of gal...I like to make most of my food from scratch, and this store pretty much provides all the staples I need to do that. Aldi has been around forever, and it seems as if alot of people used to turn their nose up because it has off brands items, you have to use a quarter to get a grocery cart (you get it back as soon as your return the cart), and they charge you for bags. But that's what keeps the prices down so low.
But now since the economy has changed, I am starting to see a lot more people (some of which I am pretty sure used to turn their nose up at a place like this) shopping here now.
It's about 90 percent no-name brand items, and about 10 percent name brand. (Lets all remember that alot of no-name brand items are produced in the same factories as the name brand items you buy everyday). They have a lot of choices for just about anything you would be interested in, and they have cheap produce (I am a huge fan of fresh non-frozen prepackaged produce). A 5lb bag of navel oranges will run you about $4.99 at publix, but here it is the same oranges for $1.69 per 5lb bag. At Kroger a 5lb bag of potatoes will cost you $3.99, but at Aldi it is $1.99 for a TEN LB BAG....see what I mean?
They always have a nice cheese selection (you can get romano, white cheddar, irish cheese, german cheese...ect), they have a nice coffee bean selection, and dont forget the booze...they have a nice selection of affordable foreign beers and wines. You 30 dollar bottle of wine people might want to keep it steppin'....
The only issue that I have with this location is sometimes the cashiers have stank-ass attitudes....almost like they dont even want to speak to you sometimes....
What's to have an attitue about ladies? You get to sit down when you ring people up and you get paid like $16-$18 dollars. Ok...so you have to ring people up and restock when not busy, but still.....Listed in: Keta's SuperMarket List

Coming here takes me back home to Germany (where I'm from and where Aldi is from).
They stay true to their German roots: you stick a quarter into the cart to assure you return it back to the station (you get the quarter back), you pay for your plastic bags, and you have to bag your own groceries... just like in Germany :)
If you don't mind that things are not in pretty-arranged shelves with all the most expensive brand items taking up the best "real estate" on the shelves, this is the place to go.
I go there for all the staples and basics: Gallon of milk is $2.18, it's $2.58 at Kroger, if you catch it on sale. Eggs are $0.99 a dozen. Bottles of wine go as low as $2.99. I bought some basic seasonings (salt grinder, Italian seasoning, basil) for $0.99. The Kroger brand spices are typically at least $3. Canned vegetables (tomatoes, beans, mushrooms etc.) are another item that I MUST buy here.
Is it more convenient to shop for everything at one store - of course it is, but you can walk out of there and only spend $20 and have all the basics you need for the week.
