I am an ALDI junkie. I have found that almost all of my weekly shopping can be done here, and they…read morehave fantastic prices. A lot of people have a hard time getting used to the way ALDI works; ALDI's model is based on German and European markets, where people tend to shop more often in smaller trips. So you aren't usually going to find produce that can be held over for lengthy amounts of time. That said, they are shopped enough that their produce is fresh and has a high turnover. Be sure to catch deals on seasonal produce, as they regularly have the best prices on watermelons in summer and pumpkins in fall. ALDI is great for trying new and "off-brand" products. They offer a wide range of specialty items including cheese and wine. I've found most to be better than average with much of it sourced in Europe. While they do offer name products, who doesn't love "generic" European wines and real milk chocolate at "chocolate flavored" prices? Be sure to bring a quarter in order to use a shopping cart. At checkout, you can purchase bags, use your own from home, or grab a box from a shelf or bin and recycle it later.

Be very careful when buying meat specials at Aldi. Yesterday their online ad had Boneless Chicken…read moreThigs listed for $1.99 per pound. I grabbed a pack at the meat counter but it was marked at $2.99 so when I got to the check ouit I pointed that our to the register man. He picked up his pphone and checked with someone in the back that told him only certain packages were marked with that price. My wife took that package back to the meat counter and picked up a different package but it also was marked at $2.99. The register man said he would go back and find the rigt kind of package. He did so and came back with a differetn type of package that was marked at $1.99. I found him helpful but I believed this is a very sneaky way of doing business. If you advertise them at $1.99 than all packages with tohose contents that are on the counter should be at that price.

Publix You get rid of items I like then today when my husband goes to pick me up some orange sesame…read moresalad mixes you are out!! It seems the norm here though. We went to Helena and picked up two. I also have to mention a week ago you were out of dressing. The cashier asked if We found everything. I tell the truth no you were out of dressing then she proceeds to say very condescending We get trucks everyday. Well rude cashier I dont come everyday. I come on Friday and I expect you to have it. At the very least I expect not to have to deal with rude cashiers at a store that lies and says shopping is our pleasure. No it isn't! Your employees are for the most part rude asf. It didnt used to b this way. When I prefer shopping at walmart something is terribly wrong!!!!!

I like shopping here this is the place to definitely go to.Great customer service and kindness!read more

I'm not a Walmart fan at all.... Just to be clear. I've been to this location before but have…read morenever done a review. This location is well organized. Clean. Long lines in self checkout. My recent visit was to browse their sale wine inventory. Unfortunately, the sale wasn't really the sale I was expecting. I did pick up a few things just to make my trip worthwhile.

In these new times, Walmart is one of the few grocery stores that do online ordering and curbside…read morepickup, and it is much appreciated. It's not always easy to get a good pick-up time, but when I've been to do a pick up, there are never more than three cars (including mine) even though there are 10+ spaces available. If you can't get a pick up time BEFORE NOON, best to wait until another day unless there are things you cannot do without. Even with allowing substitutions, items that were in stock that morning have an ever increasing chance of being out of stock by the time they pull your order. Also know that there are items that are definitely in stock in the store that they will not offer/allow for pick up at all, which kind of defeats the purpose of wanting pick up. (Like standard grocery items that don't even show as out of stock, they've just apparently pulled them from the option pool for pick up at all.) The four-stars are solely for the staff who work the grocery pick up. They're usually very young, and always friendly and helpful. I'm impressed with how they've adapted. Otherwise, Walmart in general is a solid three-star. **Even in better times** they seem to be out of random things, and it can be frustrating. You can go in for the most off-the-wall thing, and they are somehow always out of the primary reason for your shopping trip that day.

Best service at a Publix pharmacy is here…read more Sweet techs and they will complete transfers for you if other places are out. They also help you with directions. Last night I didn't know my way around Pelham and the young lady gave me step by step directions because even my gps tried to take me through the river and through the woods. I got there fine after speaking to her.

So this is a rare review of Publix for me as I believe that they are far and above the best Alabama…read moregrocery store. However my experience today did not resonate that. And really more speaking about two employees more than the store overall. When you go to the pharmacy, usually it's not the best thing in the world either you're in pain or something along those lines I get I may not have been answering the question to the best of my ability but to kind of get frustrated with me was kind of out of line.. but I will say Ethan makes up for it by always being exceptionally nice and pleasurable when I've had to speak with him. The other employee just really did not seem to know how to operate the customer service desk or answer questions that was being asked, which is very unusual as I feel that Publix has some of the best customer service, but unfortunately that was not today. Adding to that I feel like the bathrooms were really not up to public standard standards of cleanliness. The pictures is kind of don't do justice as it would not be someplace. I would run into use the restroom.

I should've known when I heard the women in the kitchen laughing and singing that all the food…read morewould be excellent. It's funny how happy hands make THE BEST food! One thing worth noting is everything we got had a lot of meat They don't skimp! I will GLADLY pay $3.50 for a loaded down taco! Prices are clearly marked Here's a rundown of what we got: 1. Torta Cubana- filled with alllll the meats and it's A TON of food. Two hungry men could easily share one sandwich. 2. Steak Taco- the best street taco I've had in the Bham area so far. Lots of meat. Yellow corn tortillas, so fresh. Added my own onions/cilantro/hot sauce so I got as much as I like to have (which is a lot) 3. Steak Gorditas- tortilla pocket was perfect. Meat and cheese perfect. I will think of this every day this week and get this again and again forever. 4. Papusas (bean and cheese)- Also perfect. The tortilla was perfectly Mexican style and thin with a little crisp on the outside. How do they get them so thin without tearing? I dream of making papusas like this. Someone's abuela with 50 years of experience must pat these out cause that's the only explanation! They are beautiful! If you are wanting some authentic Mexican food, this is your solution. There's a buffet that looks incredible. I don't even know everything that was on it but it all looked homemade. The market has the best avocados I've seen anywhere and the assortment of dried chiles is impressive. Go for the restaurant, then do your grocery shopping after you eat. Prices are excellent. Everyone is friendly. I will probably go back this week

High quality produce with high prices, but if you want good avocados and a huge variety of greens,…read moreyou pay for it. I wish Walmart and Publix had a connection to whomever supplies the produce here, because it's very good!
