My first encounter with Aldi was over 15 years ago in Germany where the store itself originates. I was shocked to see that their store was so small and as a man 6'3 I can see over the aisle to the next one. Can't do that in the big supermarket here in America where the shelves are a towering over 7 feet high. Anyhow they have just what you needed in the store and not the stuff you don't. Although they do have a section that feature their items of the week. There a few things that might leave someone who hasn't travel a lot a little amazed. Aldi's cashiers sit down while ringing up your food. The cash register looks very weird and they don't accept credit card (quite naturally you should pay cash for food) all of this comes from Germany. Yes even the ban on credit cards is from Germany they hate credit cards you cannot imagine. They only thing that is missing from this market that would make me think I'm really in Germany are the mirrors on the ceiling at the cash register. One would ask why mirriors on the ceiling. Well this is where I think Germany promotes laziness the cashier instead of getting up from their chair to see if you left anything in your cart they look in the mirror at the reflection of your cart. On to the food with Aldi the food is pretty good but at times there are things that are hit or miss.Don't buy the mayonnaise this is where I'll stick with Hellman's because they have something called Burmann's and the taste and texture nearly traumatized me. I read that most people say the meat is injected with dye and it turns purple well I think you have that wrong Aldi doesn't sell hormones or dyed meat. If you see the meat and it looks purple that's it natural color. When meat is super red that dye in the meat. If the meat is brown then you have to worry. read more

Love this place!!! Great quality of food and household grocery items for a low price. They also sell many organic and some name brand cereals and snacks for cheap. Between this place and trader joes, I will definitely alternate between these two supermarkets!! read more

The price is pretty cheap but some staff not really friendly .want to ask something about some bread .they just ignore you

its a German market gone American. Ever went shopping and purchased store brand food for cheaper price? This is the same..it's their brand of look a like boxes and names but this time it's either the same if not better than the origianl. Believe me!!! And the prices are awesome. Just try it once and you will shop there always. read more

Paper products downsized - the old 4.5/4.0 inch toilet ppr sheet has shrunk to 4/4 like everywhere else. Price is the same as national brand toilet ppr. Why buy there??? German chocolate is good quality. Yogurt - never again. It tastes awful and they use fructose AND aspartame in it. read more

Good store, always quit a line when I go but moves pretty fast! All I buy from there are fruits and vegetables (Avocados 49Cents!!!!) I mean that deal is unheard of these days.. Only part that sucks is bring a bag which I always seem to forget. read more

I grow less fond of Aldi the more I go, and my first trip here was no exception. Pretty well-organized and not that crowded, probably because it'd make more sense to shop elsewhere, maybe even to shell out the dough for a yearly membership at Costco downstairs. read more

Shop here early mornings is the best bet! Overall the options and quality are fantastic. Organic foods are cheaper than average with equal if not better quality. read more

Love this place. They offer quality products at rock bottom prices. Huge savings over national supermarkets. Weekly specials, good inventory. Lowest prices anywhere on staples. Don't forget to bring your own bags or shopping cart. read more

This store is right in the mall. They have specials every week. I brought pork rind, a Key Lime pie, mussels, honey BBQ wings,and some sadwich bags. very interesting store. read more

Mixed feelings, but overall, Aldi is A-OK. Cash or debit only, no credit cards - big fail. Bring your own shopping bags or else pay a few cents each - hooray eco-friendly! Beef is injected with dye to make it look fresh, giving it a purple hue - scary! I'm wary of their other meats too. But - major ups to their salad dressing (sundried tomato), bacon bits, kettle chips (super crispy!), cheese curls, brie, and donut-style coffee. They do have some gourmet-ish products (e.g. yummy rosemary Triscuit-like crackers), but mostly their staples are what drive it home. I honestly don't care what brand my groceries are or that they come from someplace that resembles a warehouse, so if it tastes good, won't kill me, and I'm saving a hefty buck, I'm in! read more

This store is great! People here are complaining about products dressed up as brand looking products. What Bulls... The products' quality here is just as good as any brand name and it is much cheaper! They certainly do not lack quality. Produce is a hit or miss a some already said. Better go early in the day, since the fresh stuff might be gone in the evening. Overall the selection is limited, but for the basics Aldi is the store to go. for exotic ingredients go elsewhere. Bring your own bags, since they cost a few cents here (Aldi tries to be environment Friendly). Cash or debit card only. read more

I have never been to this store I'm looking for a new store to go shopping instead of driving around I was looking at the photos of this store Aldi-- the Brands on the shelves I've never heard of it's like Brand X or no name brands and stuff like that I would like to save money so maybe I'll give it a try from the photos it looks clean from other people's reviews it seems okay I'll try it once and see what happens . It seems one of the reasons why the prices are less than some other stores is because they only paid $13.50 an hour so the store save money on employees. how can you Live on that pay you can't rent a Dog House in Queens on that Pay ! read more

Feels like a mini-Costco. If you need something that's not in bulk, then Aldi provides a similar amount of saving over the local supermarkets. read more

The price is unbeatable. Eggs $1.39/dozen, milk $1.99/half a gallon! And ofcourse their effort toward recycling is noteworthy. read more

ALDI - Costs you 6 cents if you don't bring your own! - Grocery Near Me - Rego Park, New York

This place is like a warehouse. Paper boxes everywhere and I have ever heard of 90% of the brands. I went there because people says something about things similar to trader joes... Not true. Good luck finding any organic stuff there. read more

Love my Aldi's, they are also the 1st European Retailer to ban pesticides toxic to bees. In a world where so much crap is being done to our food, I feel I can shop here as well as Trader Joes with a little more confidence. They have great products, I just wish their stores were larger and they need more locations on Long Island. read more

Cheap, good, easy to navigate. Downfalls are European style purchase a bag (or bring your own), and lack of credit cards being accepted. It's either cash or debit card. In today's economy most people use credit cards so IMO this is a big knock. read more

for inexpensive baking goods, spices, kitchen essentials, and household basics, Aldi is a solid shop. most stuff here is store-brand, but the baking mixes so far have been amazing, the jarred queso is inexplicably delicious, and the chips are great. oh yeah - they sell spaetzle (sometimes, it sells out quickly)! haven't tried the meat, and the produce can be hit-or-miss. cash or debit only. read more

This is my secret place and, even though I want this place to stay and never ever leave, I hope it doesn't get too populated too fast. I buy all my essentials here (from my delicious affordable soymilk and almond milk to all the vegetables I love). It does get crowded and long lines form once in a while. But during late hours, it's not so crowded. The people are friendly as well. However, one down side and warning, don't buy the bagged spinach. I don't know if it's just me or not but it gets spoiled rather quickly. Besides that, loveeee this place! :) (PS: Yes, bring your own bags and credit credits are not accepted) read more

Came here for a quick fix, here's my list: 16" pizza (u have to bake it, of course): 5.99 Strawberry Kiwi juice 1.75l: 99c yogurt: 39c each red delicious apples 3lbs: 2.49 The only thing I hate here is the line. read more

Aldi has been all over the U.S. for decades but most New Yorkers are not familiar with them until just a few years ago. I consistently buy my groceries from them because, plain and simple, they offer their own brand for less. A lot less in many cases. So, if you're a name brand shopper, Aldi will not be for you. But, if you're looking to save 20% or 25% on most items, then you'll like them. While their fruits and vegetables are not always less $, they are fresh and good quality. Better than most of the nearby Korean Grocers. They even have a nice selection of baked goods and frozen goods. Granted, they could carry more healthy foods like Whole Foods Market, but that'll have to wait for some future date I'm afraid. That's why they get a 4 and not a 5. They do well with Immigrant groups as they also tend to look for good value. Nothing wrong with that. Also, you've got to bring your own bags or buy theirs for a nickel each I think. They have a good return policy as I once brought back a melon soon after purchasing that had gone bad and the manager let me take another with no questions asked. So, there's my 2 cents on Aldi. Good value, good prices. Clean and fresh so can't go wrong. The only downside is that parking on the street is terrible. Almost impossible making one PAY in the nearby garage. They should at least offer to offset the parking fee if one buys a certain amount in the store. Howard S. read more

I don't know why I never thought much of this place and never wanted to go inside. I love it now! So many great options to choose from. And the prices are unbelievable. It isn't name brands but doesn't really matter. The quality is excellent. It has everything you could want. Great produce, dairy products and all kinds of snacks:). I just love that they have large variety of Organic products,always a plus in my book. My only thing is that lines tend to get long and staffs isn't always friendly. Don't get me wrong, some smile and do their others simply don't want to be there. Regardless, definitely worth your time to give it a try. read more

Good prices, not everything is generic. There's lots of discounted name brand items. What I hate is the lazy employes that sit on there ass at check out many of them are rude and full of attitude. But they are a small price to pay for the deals you can find here. read more

I am a fan of this place! Although they are B.Y.O.B. It is well worth it! For those of you who do not know Aldi Supermarket is actually the sister company of trader joes. It is the Walmart sort of speak. They have a great variety of things some brand and some not however the prices are cheap and the staff is friendly. read more

Most of the prices are really cheap, and there are different brand names related to the names we see in other stores. Overall, the prices are cheap and everything is affordable. Don"t know why they charge for carts . read more

Aldi takes credit card and the prices are good. Where else can you get half gal of whole milk organic for $3.09? Even cheaper than Trader Joe's. I love the sprout wheat bread. Low sodium and very little sugar (about $3.29) which is comparatively cheaper again than Trader Joe (which can run for $3.99). Most things are private label but they do sell some regular branded items (Pringles chips, coca-cola soda, etc.) Certain private label items are better than other named brands. The animal crackers taste exactly like Barnum Bailey animal crackers (which I grew up with) and their private label oreo like cookies I think taste better as they are less sweet than the real original oreos. Veggies are limited but for grocery items, it is worth it. Bring bags or you can use one of their boxes to carry stuff out the costco way. Read labels, some of the stuff might be high sodium and sugar. Compare prices, you will find that some of the stuff is really great and may be cheaper than what you can get elsewhere Additionally they have a warranty for every item. read more

Only been here a few times but i love it! The prices are really low and there is a good selection of items. The lines can get long though. And you have to bring your own bags. read more

I really like Aldi's and I understand their low overhead structure, but this location takes the cake. Three cashiers open on a busy Sunday night with lines longer than 10 minutes. They had absolutely zero organic meats available and the produce section was decimated. This location is like the zoo. read more

Great grocery bargains as long as you don't mind store brand. Travelled an hour on the subway to come here- now that's dedication. Or course make sure you go in knowing your shopping cart's going to have a 25¢ deposit, you need to bring your own bags, and credit cards are not accepted. read more

Messy, poor selection, and never enough cashiers. Avoid if you can.

Shoping here is great on the wallet. The meats are fresh and sold at a great price. Yeah, most of the products are off brand but they are little healthier that the originals. I like the fact that the juices are made here instead of China. I will not buy anything from China. read more

Aldi is awesome! No Aldi in CA, but I've seen and been to them in TN. Never thought I would see one in NYC! For the most part, they carry generic brands, but still great quality. They carry packaged goods, produce, meat, and some small furniture items. Prices are great. They only take cash or debit and they don't provide bags, which is how they keep their prices low. So, don't forget to bring your own bag(s)! read more

Great place for german snacks and general grocery items. This feels like a smaller Costco and has more appropriately sized consumable items. They have discounts on meats too but the selection is small. The milks ( almond, regular, soy, etc. ) are a bargain here, almost $1-$2 than what I can find elsewhere. The vegetable selection is standard, not much on sale. Bread selection is not that good. This store is a great addition when also doing Costco shopping. read more

I'm able to get most of my staple items here and their organic and healthy selection has certainly improved. I love Aldi for its cheap prices and lately I've been finding more of my trader joes favorites here (pineapple and peach salsas, dried pea crisps , sprouted bread). The produce selection is small and are mostly seasonal stuff but good quality and cheaper than most grocery stores. I go during the mornings so its usually not too crowded and the lines move fairly fast. read more

Don't ever go there , bad service , expired products an rude employees , I bought a product which was stale , when I ask for a refund they were very rude an never got my money back , poor service an expired products read more

I used to use Aldi for just about all of my groceries. Now I find that the prices have gone up on most of their products. I won't be going there as often, but I will continue to buy the products I feel are cheaper than the other supermarkets. read more

Happened to be in the area for another event so we decided to pay a visit to see what was so special about this store. Items are displayed in the original cardboard box in which they're shipped, stacked one on top of the other, which I suppose saves on stocking fees. We walked through the entire store and didn't really see any food items that was super cheap. It's not worth a return visit especially since the parking isn't free. read more

Prices great in overall general items: - Bread, Chicken, Fish, fruits, pasta, sauces.... juices.. BUT, they need to put more American brand names and not everything is healthy in this store. Not organic and you have to read the labels carefully. A lot of sugarly items and it is different from Traders Joe. read more

bags are like $0.10 a pop if you forget to bring your own. The prices here are ridiculous, they're so good (as long as you're OK with it not being name-brand). Very satisfied, & for just over $30 I literally stacked my kitchen with stuff. One note- look over the fruit good; other than that, everything else is just fine & super cheap! read more
