They were all near the entrance of the store, which is convenient and better than other grocery stores where you have to go back outside for a cart. The produce area as well organized. Some of the signs are incorrect on some of the vegetables. However, the pricing is decent for these produce. They do have a decent meat selection different cuts preseasoned was able to get eight chicken legs for like four bucks, which is a deal in this economy The beef was more on the pricey side however it looked good and it cooked well As far as the international grocery side of things, it seemed a little higher price, which is unfortunate but I'm assuming a lot of those international groceries are imported so maybe they were affected by tariffs Overall, the staff was great helped me find something I couldn't find at checkout. They carried a decent conversation which a lot of grocery stores do not. The store was clean. I didn't have any complaints. It wasn't super busy. I was able to get in and out within 15 minutes.

The store was very clean and had everything we needed for Nancy's salad and to complete my mom's famous brownies. Like most Aldi's they beat out Walmart and Publix on pricing; yet they lack some of the variety of vegetables and other items the alternative chains provide. Regardless, I like what Aldi offers and I prefer to shop here over the other two chains when I can. The staff member working the front register was friendly, and efficient and we were in and out in no time; what else can you ask for? All-in-all, this is a great grocery store in the DeLand area, it is conveniently located off 17/92 and I would return again if I need a grocery item next time I am in the area.

I've been a customer at Gaff's for years, but my recent pre-order experience has unfortunately…read moreended that relationship. I ordered 5 lbs of bone-in short ribs weeks in advance for Thanksgiving--at the staff's own suggestion when I inquired about availability. I provided my pickup date and time as requested, and received two confirmation calls leading up to the holiday. Despite all this preparation, the actual pickup was frustrating and disorganized. When I arrived at my scheduled time on the day before Thanksgiving, the shop was using the standard take-a-number system that completely ignored appointment times. The chaos was predictable--dozens of customers were there for pre-orders--but the system failed at multiple points. Numbers were called too quietly in a loud, crowded shop, and the LED display wasn't consistently updated. Staff gave customers mere seconds to respond before moving to the next number, causing people to be skipped repeatedly. I waited 40 minutes past my scheduled pickup time. When I finally reached the counter, my order wasn't prepared. After weeks of advance notice and multiple confirmations, they had a 3 lb package and a 12 lb package available--neither matching my 5 lb order. I settled for 6 lbs (half of the larger package), which required additional cutting and another 10-minute wait. What's most disappointing is that this was entirely preventable. The day before Thanksgiving is obviously their busiest day of the year, but it's also completely predictable. Pre-orders were advertised in-store for over a month. Simple measures--dedicated staff for pre-orders, a separate pickup area, orders prepared ahead of time--would have prevented this chaos. Instead, the staff seemed dismissive when confronted with their lack of preparation. I understand holiday rushes can overwhelm any business, but this wasn't a rush--it was a failure to plan for a workload they actively solicited and had weeks to prepare for. For a business that asks customers to plan ahead with pre-orders, I expected them to do the same. I won't be returning.

This is one of two locations of Gaff's Quality Meats and Specialty Foods. I believe the original…read moreone is in Port Orange, Florida and this location is a bit east in DeLand. Since I heard such great things about this butcher and since I would be driving by (well, actually I was driving down Interstate 4 and it was only about four miles off the highway), today would be the day I would check this place out. By the way, I have not been this way for quite some time and it certainly has changed and grown. Anyway, I pulled into the parking lot of Gaff's and found it to be an attractive stand alone building. Parking was good and the exterior was clean and inviting. Walking into the establishment, I found it to equally clean and the store was well situated and again, very inviting. The staff was nothing short of incredible and customer service was definitely a high priority with the management here. I was continuously greeted by the team and they were extremely attentive without being overly so. There is a deli counter, a seafood counter, the shelves were filled with great specialty items and the meat counter, where the emphasis of this business lies, was filled with some great looking beef, pork and chicken. I am a huge fan of sausage, so I gravitated towards there. The friendly young man behind the counter recommended the hot Italian sausage, so I got four of them (which was well over a pound). Since I like spicy food, I also opted for their bratwurst with serrano and cheese. I should have also gotten some of their lean ground sirloin, it looked great. I had the spicy bratwurst today. I had it with thinly sliced cooked onions and a quality mustard and while I have had better, it was definitely very good. I would definitely recommend here and will return here. Great service and very good quality food make this place a winning combination. Check it out. I am sure that you will be a fan of this establishment.

There's also a good assortment of couponers unloading their hauls, storage sell outs, damaged goods drug store stuffs. Knives and taser guys, there's usually a cigar seller, one or two with plants and garden things and several of those cheapo commercial stands you see at every flea market; Chinese dollar store stuff, basically. Several places to eat, a hot dog seller that's been there for awhile now, and a few food trucks. Changes every week with many mainstay vendors. Mostly out in a field, but there's some inside shopping too. They're open year round' but boy you've got see this place when the snowbirds are here!! Almost always find something and $10 goes a long, long way on fruits and vegetables.

Imagine that one tiny section on isle 3 at Publix but exploded into an emporium of various beans, rice, tortillas, and sazon. Their deli is unlike Publix as well. They have a large hot case with all the Cuban dishes including pork, ropa vieja, oxtail, tostones, maduros, empanadas, beans, and 3 different kinds of rice. Their sandwiches are served on half of a Cuban loaf. I once ordered a pork sandwich and although it wasn't the best I've had it was definitely the biggest (I should've eaten half and saved the rest for later). They also bake all of their bread and pastries in addition to serving up a fantastic cafe con leche.
