Review from Jason D.

A run-of-the-mill Aldi, perfectly fine. Cashiers are friendly and *very* fast.
If you haven't been to one, Aldi is a discount grocery chain that carries 'off-name' (read: major label with a different name) packaged grocery items. Club prices or cheaper, without the need to buy in bulk. Zero frills; makes Wal-Mart look like the Four Seasons, but if you're looking for cheap staple foods to feed your family, who really cares?
My major complaint: Aldi carries tons of foods that are highly processed and loaded with sugar.
What I love: cheap produce (in-season, I hit the Trenton Farmers' Market for a better deal and farm-to-table freshness), crackers, tortillas/tortilla chips and the occasional unbeatable cookware deal. Occasionally you find Trader Joe's items with a different sticker on them; most recently, regular and sun-dried tomato pesto.
If you shop Aldi with a critical eye and use it to supplement what you buy at the Farmers' Market/Halo Farm/Trader Joe's, you'll be feeding your family well and cheaply. Don't forget to bring a quarter for your shopping cart! Only cash and debit cards are accepted at Aldi. -

Really cheap food, you can find really good stuff here if you are willing to look. You need a quarter to use the shopping carts (you get it back) and be sure to bring your own shopping bags. It's small things like that that helps them keep prices low I suppose. I particularly like the chocolate, spices, and salsa here.
