ALDI

There is one rule to ALDI...just have staff. The products speak for themselves. This one doesn't have the cardinal rule down. You can't get out quickly and they refuse to add self service machines but pay security to stand around and corral frustrated customers. Save yourself time do anything BUT come in here

workers there are rude
and have no manners towards their customers they need to take a nap because the way they were acting was disturbing and probably need some sleep. I will never go back there. Poor service. Incredible how they treat their customers! The comments that were made to me were RUDE I still can't get over it!

I love Aldis. It's my go to grocery store for almost everything. Sure I have to go to other grocery stores/ markets once in a while to stock up on some items, but Aldis is all I need for basic staple grocery items.

I'm not sure why that one reviewer said they don't accept credit cards, that's not true I pay credit all the time. The one con, is that sometimes the lines are incredibly long, like down half the store (an entire aisle), but even then it's not that bad - most of the cashiers are very fast and efficient.

Where else can you get a bag of pretzels or tortilla chips for 92 cents, or fake girl scout cookies (which are really good IMO) for $1-2 dollars per box depending on which type of cookie. The only produce I don't usually get there is mushrooms unless I'm cooking the same day, because those seem to go bad quickly.

I also love how many dairy free milk options there are, lots of vegan/vegetarian meatless crumbles and meatballs, tofu and many other healthy options. I also enjoy their rotating aisle, which you can find all kinds of random seasonal things.

For those that complain about having to pay for a plastic bag.. just saying there are such things as reusable tote bags and it's an incentive to not use plastic for the environment..
Also the whole idea is that at Aldis you bag your own stuff, and also return your own shopping cart. These reductions in staff is what allows these awesome low prices. I went to Target a couple weeks ago for some items, and I forgot how much "regular grocery stores" cost but man did it make me miss Aldis! Over the last couple of years I've noticed more and more vegan/healthy items added to their stores and I hope to continue to see the trend .

Great place. Originally, I assumed that the quality would be cheap because people always talked about the pricing here. Unsure. Great quality, organic options, vegan and vegetarian options, good selections, and affordable prices! I love it here! The only thing I skip is the bread because I haven't found one I love but otherwise, a good stop especially for organic fruits and vegetables.

Come with a budget and leave with everything you need. When I was a kid at an Aldi, it was obvious because we came back with off-brand cereals and maple sausage links. Now, Aldi has healthy options, vegan cheeses and meats, sushi grade tuna, healthy frozen food bites, amazing produce for cheap, AND sauces, seasonings and such for only a buck or 2?! This is a match made in heaven.

While the veggies are seasonal, it's
worth it to come in and see prices for mushrooms, cauliflower and carrots all about a half of the price at Supreme grocery or Fresh Grocer nearby. It is right off the 46th street train station so it's easy to get to, plus a parking lot if you need a lot. Bring a box or reusable bag, they're sustainable! Even their bread selection is double what I'm used to at an older Aldi.

Went with 35$ and got enough fresh veggies, protein, and snacks to cook for myself for 2 weeks with some options and variety.

I was so excited to shop here after hearing about the excellent prices for quality of food. Suffice to say my expectations were not met and I was very disappointed by some of the products I purchased.

For example, I bought a bag of potatoes that looked fine and when I opened it at home realized that more than half of them were soft and had sprouted! I also bought ginger and realized that its flesh was molding and had green fuzz growing (yuck! it must've been on the shelf for quite a while for ginger to go bad) when I opened it as soon as I got home.

After this experience, I don't think I will come back here to buy produce, unless I can find the time and patience to feel and inspect every product from every angle to make sure it is fresh before tossing it into my cart.

What I liked about Aldi though was their selection of German chocolates (so cool!) and prepackaged foods. The frozen food selection was also good.

Overall, the prices are very reasonable here but keep in mind that you may risk product quality. Personally, I would rather shop somewhere else that isn't as "risky" as I think it would save me more time and money (avoid wasteful purchases) in the long run.

Fresh organic produce at good prices in addition good variety of seasonal veggies makes this a regular stop on my biweekly food runs.

ALDIS I love shopping at ALDIS
I remember Aldis as a child in Germany and as an adult in France
I LOVE THAT I CAN GET GOOD QUALITY non gmo Organic products at a fair price ! I love the GERMAN AND FRENCH imported products
I love that the employees are PAID FAIRLY TREATED WITH RESPECT. It shows in their approach to the customer

This place was severely understaffed and did not have a 10 items or less inside. I waited in line for over a hour to purchase hash brown patties.

This place definitely has some deals - I always leave having bought more than I intended!!
The ambiance isn't all that stunning, it has the feel of an antiquated Schnucks, if you will, but it works for their minimalist approach.
Aldi carries many items of their own brand, and then also many name-brand items that might not have sold so well in the traditional supermarkets. There are always surprise good deals/finds lurking around the shelves.
Many things I have to avoid there, as in any store, the ding-dongs, burgers, shortening-laden gunk... But I love stocking up on my basics here, such as: nuts, raisins, (hormone free) eggs, organic soy milk, etc. The prices will beat your local store 9 times out of 10.
Overall, it's worth the schlep to find the deals. Go Aldi!
